Are you exercising in the first trimester? I don’t want to stop entirely but am feeling so nauseous most of the time.

Do you think fear during pregnancy is from the enemy? And how to you combat it? I’m almost there and just getting the most random fears that I won’t even speak to here because deep down I know it’s not worth it. Thanks Mamas 🫶🏼

Hi all! I had my 31 week midwife appointment today. My midwife said babies head is quite high up. Has anyone had this and did they drop down soon?

I’ve just had a midwife appointment, and my baby is currently breech. I’m 28 weeks, and thought she might be as her head is really obvious under my ribs and she’s kicking me very low! They said not to worry yet as there’s still plenty of time for the baby to move, but there’s some conflicting information online. Wa...

It feels like quite a difference for me because I had been having quite an energetic 2nd trimester so far 😊

Have you done this?

Has anyone had food poisoning in the 3rd trimester? I’m currently 30+5 and I think me and my partner have gotten food poisoning, is there anything I should know or do? I have tried to contact my midwife but yet to receive a reply 😅

I changed my birth plan at my 36 week midwife appointment and have decided I would like a planned c section because the idea of vaginal birth just terrifies me. She said she’d push for me to get a doctors appointment to discuss further but I’m not 37+1 and heard nothing back 😭I have this constant fear she’s going…

Thoughts?

Anyone else having increased anxiety in their last weeks? I have been having the most relaxed mood this whole pregnancy- much calmer than my usual self - just happy to be growing my baby and not worried about anything even with new stressful life circumstances- but all of the sudden I’m getting anxious!! I’m supe...

I woke up this morning (28+4) with some swelling in my hands- nothing major but I’ve not had any swelling so far. So I was slightly concerned and decided to check my blood pressure just in case. It was 133/93 which is very high FOR ME. I usually have readings at home of like 97/65 for example and the dr it is usuall...

Went for my 3 hour gluclose test and was freaking out about being poked three times just to find out it's actually four times😐🥴

Hey y’all I wanted opinions, I was in the hospital early and they prescribed muscle relaxers. Now I am 35 weeks pregnant and the muscle relaxers are for pain in my left pelvic muscles ( extreme to the point I can’t walk to the bathroom) now the pharmacist stated there wasn’t enough study’s stating if it’s safe or n...

When did people start telling family they were pregnant? Did you wait till 12 weeks?

I have a GDT test this Friday and I’m super anxious about it, I don’t do well with sick at all and I’m so worried I’ll be sick and feel funny and faint because I won’t be able to eat! Please someone tell me it’s not as bad 🥲🥲 I didn’t have this with my first!

Seeing that some sites say it’s unsafe causing more risk for miscarriage while some differ. I never had one before, this isn’t my first pregnancy and only took one dose idk whether to continue

I was feeling my best mentally during the second trimester. As soon as I hit the third trimester, booom… I feel very anxious all the time! I also don’t know what to do with myself lately. I don’t have energy to do much, at the same time feel anxious for not doing anything. Anyone can relate to that? Does it get bett...

So far I’ve already gained about 20 pounds since I’ve gotten pregnant. I’m really feeling insecure about it. My doctor said most women gain 25-35 lbs in total but I’ve still got a long way to go. Is anyone else dealing with this insecurity? How are you all managing?

I've recently found out that I'm expecting baby no. 2. My 1st is 1 in 2 weeks and I'm slightly panicking about how to cope with 2 very young babies

Has anyone ever had their belly button go completely flat and then start to sink inward??? Wondering if this is a sign of diastasis recti. Pic of the bump to not get lost
