So annoyed, dog jumped on me :( now I’m anxious

I have a big dog and she NEVER jumps.. today I came home and my mum was with me visiting and my dog must have just got over whelmed and she jumped and ended up scratching my lower back,

with that I’ve bent backwards almost and stretched my lower belly and it didn’t hurt as such just felt like tha shock ligament pain but ofc I haven’t actually bent that far since being pregnant and now I just feel anxious really and just need some reassurance. It only happened about 15 mins ago and I have felt baby a little since

But why is there always something to worry about!😭

Am I a bad mom?

Hey guys, im pregnant with my second baby and im having a hard time with it.

I wanted to have a second baby so so bad and my husband and I started trying and got pregnant a few months later.. so far i have hated everything about this pregnancy, the morning sickness started at 5 weeks and lasted till about week 17, im uncomfortable walking, sitting, standing, laying down. im 24 weeks now and I cant get excited about anything. I dont look at baby clothes and get excited to meet my baby, I can feel baby kicking a lot more and I dont get excited about that. I cant wait for this pregnancy to be over but because im miserable and not because I want to meet my baby.

My last pregnancy i was terrified, it was unplanned and I wasn't married (my family is religious) but I still felt lots of love and care towards my baby and couldn't wait to meet him and the closer I got to my due date the more excited I got to meet him.

What is wrong with me this pregnancy? I don't understand why i cant seem to get excited about anything, especially meeting my baby.. its making me feel like a horrible mother. I know deep down i love and care for this baby, but I still feel emotionally disconnected from this pregnancy for some reason..

Any advice is welcome, I just want to know why i feel this way and any ideas on how to change it so I can get excited to meet my baby..🥺

NIPT

Has anyone gone for there nipt testing yet?

I just got my nipt results back and they all came back inconclusive because of low fetal fraction, I was 10 weeks 6 days when I got it done and there wasn’t enough fetal dna for any results.

Does failing the 1hr glucose test mean gestational diabetes?

I was told at the lab my levels came up high. I have hypoglycemia and I notice I’m low on sugar levels when I get very sleepy and am rested. After drinking that orange thing, like 10-15min after I felt I was getting sleepy. I thought it was the crash after the loads of sugar from that drink (normal to hypoglycemia) but then they checked ny urine sample and sha said it was high. That they were waiting to run the testing on the blood sample after to be sure of more details they could share later. Does that mean I’m likely to have gestational diabetes? I’m nervous 🥺

Is this normal?

I am 14 w 5d and I still have not gained any weight and have minimal appetite. I am able to have snacks or small meals, so I’m not losing weight, but I am worried that I haven’t started gaining weight yet. I have so much anxiety all the time about what if my baby isn’t developing right or isn’t alright and I just don’t know it yet?

Blood pressure

Hi any mommas that have dealt with high BP during pregnancy? What did you do to help it? Did you have any symptoms? I personally don’t unless I’m that anxious and that’s why it keeps reading high but I do try to be as relaxed as possible I was on high BP medication when I was pregnant but I had to stop bc it wasn’t safe for baby. Please help a mama out I’m trying to see if any food or maybe work outs help me. Maintain also be stress free

Postpartum eclampsia

Has anyone experienced this? I had a very straight forward pregnancy with stable blood pressure. I had my little girl last Wednesday via elective c section and immediately felt very unwell in recovery. My blood pressure went up rapidly and not long after I had a 1-2 minute seizure. Since then I’ve been in hospital apart from a brief discharge home at the weekend but I ended back up in hospital with high blood pressure on Sunday. For the most part it’s been stable on enalapril but it spiked last night and it’s spiked again this evening. It’s causing me so much anxiety. Has anyone else gone through anything similar?
