Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

I had this test done a week ago and I’m eager to know the results. How long did you wait to find out and how did you find out? I’ve been told they no longer send out a letter with results (did with my first) and my badger notes is never updated. Is there a chance I won’t know the results if I am low risk? Ta x

This baby at 12 weeks due sept 26

Almost 18 weeks and this second trimester is hitting me hard. I feel so much worse than the first trimester. Headaches, feel gen unwell, exhaustion. It's constant. With my first I had so much energy in the second trimester! Anybody else?

I'm confused as I had a healthy child in 2023 with normal BP. I have since had a missed miscarriage where I had high blood in the first trimester and now yet again pregnant with high BP in my first trimester which is worrying me even though the midwife didn't seem to concern about my BP being 137/90 Has anyone had ...

Hello! I have had non stop issues postpartum and no help from doctors wondering if anyone had experience with this? I have bleeding for about a month and this past week it’s been so much it seems like hemorrhaging. Now I have severe pain and feel so sick I went to er last night and everything checked out normal....

I've had fluctuating blood pressure throughout this pregnancy and since Thursday it just won't stay low. I'm going in daily to get it checked as I don't really want to go on medication as I am 38+4 and so close to the end. Plus the medication made me feel dreadful. I saw on here someone who was advised to ask for th...

Hi lovelies I had my glucose tolerance test today and it went awful. Had the first blood draw fine, got the drink down, then about 50 minutes later right before my second blood draw I went really dizzy and faint, sweaty and had to run to the toilets to vomit. I literally couldn’t keep it down. When I went in for t...

My son will be 9 weeks Thursday , how often was your babies feeding ?

I was already an anxious mess becoming pregnant, I didn’t realize how much I’d worry over. Now, being 28 weeks today and having an anterior placenta actually drives me insane! If I don’t feel kicks for a few hours I freak myself out, I overthink the strength of kicks, etc. anyone else feeling like this?

Hi ladies my last urine sample was sent off because of leukocytes in my urine, but when I called for results they said it was all clear . I’ve noticed the last few days I have a subtle burning feeling after I’ve peed . Should I get this check via my gp instead of going back to the midwife?

Hi guys, so these past few weeks I’ve had to be having my blood pressure checked twice a week, which then lands me going up the hospital for hours on end for ctg and monitoring as my blood pressure is always borderline! Ends up coming down and I get discharged. Now I’ve had a blood test for further testing for preec...

I’m about 9 weeks from my due date. Me and my partner are driving back from our babymoon a day early because I haven’t slept in 3 days (the whole time) I’m so exhausted and I can’t stop crying, not to mentioned I’m in a lot of pain. I’m real worried how I’m going to cope with a newborn if I can’t even cope with 3 ni...

Had an early scan and estimated due date is 6.11.25 .. so that makes me 7 weeks 3 days today, when roughley would I have conceived? It all confuses me? Iv worked out 4th-11th Feb roughley? Maybe I'm wrong? Help me ladys! X

How are people coping with anxiety around babies health during pregnancy. I’m 21+5 and the last couple of days I was starting to feel baby but today nothing and now I’m worried. I swear usually if I press around my stomach I can feel babies heartbeat or them moving or something but I can’t even feel that now

Hi girls, I’m sure I have got thrush :( i have messaged my midwife but her phones off with it being Sunday. Has anyone had thrush during pregnancy? Is anything safe to take?

Hi all! I’m 22 weeks. I started to feel little butterflies etc about four days ago which were pretty much at the same times in the day. Over the past couple of days they’ve pretty much gone. I felt a little bit when I was sleeping but not much. Is this normal? This is my first so I don’t have a clue. I have also su...

If you took SSRIs during pregnancy, was it worth it? Did you see any size side effects? I'm 14 weeks with baby #2 and I'm not doing too hot... first pregnancy I was a cool as a cucumber, this go around I am sad, frustrated, and have so much rage that I am suppressing I may be able to crush a brick with my butt chee...

Hi! 39 - second time mom but the first pregnancy I was a lot younger and had zero issues. I was experiencing a little bleeding early on at around 6 weeks and went to ER they said Subchronic Hematoma. They saw it again at my 8 week scan and said they need to watch it to make sure it doesn’t grow and I’m on pelvic res...
