Is anyone else experiencing nausea? I’m 19 weeks now and still don’t have a day go by where I don’t feel sick at some point. I have stopped being sick, but the nausea is still there! I’m still not eating properly or putting on any of the weight I lost in the first trimester. Anyone else?

Glucose test I’ve got my glucose tomorrow can you drink water before it or can you literally not have any thing I know your not allowed to eat before it I can’t remember I had it with my first but then I’ve been told nothing with this pregnancy and I can’t remember from almost 4 years go 🤣

Conceiving in February gives a November baby? Conceiving March gives a December baby right? Conceiving in April gives a January baby?

Has anyone had experience with failing the one hour glucose test, but passing the 3 hour? If so any tips? I took my one hour test at 3:15 in the afternoon and will be taking the 3 hour at 8am on Tuesday so hoping that helps some. My doctors instructions are to get 150g of carbs for 3 days prior. I’m typically a pret...

It’s my first time travelling with my 6 month old tomorrow and I’m feeling so nervous and stressed, I don’t know why. Any advice or words of reassurance anyone? 🙈

So I’ve noticed my hair just doesn’t get greasy like it did pre-pregnancy which is fab as who wants to wash it every couple days when I can now go a week. But after doing some googling I saw somewhere it can actually be a sign of not enough protein or iron potentially but whether that’s right I don’t know. So is thi...

I don’t know if I have full on baby brain but if my LO was born on 16th Jan, on 18th is he two days or three days old? My husband thinks the birth day counts as day one and therefore we have done three days by 18th? But I’m working on dates and so think we’re on day 2. Confused!

This is from 13 weeks and 3 days… Nub sort of sits in the middle so was unsure! What do people think?! Excited to find out ☺️

I suffered really badly with nausea and sickness my whole 1st trimester and start of 2nd until the week before Christmas and now I’m 19 weeks and the nausea has come back (no vomiting though this time thankfully). Anyone else had this? I messaged my midwife to ask if it was normal but she doesn’t reply :-/

This is my second pregnancy. I think my first pregnancy lead me in to a false sense of security- it had no side effects at all throughout! I am now currently 23weeks and I feel sick most days. I’d just like to know if anyone’s experienced the same? 😭🤍

I've been told I need to test 4 times a day (as usual). If I have a snack in-between meals do I have to log that? Or prick test for it? What does everyone do?

I’m 3 weeks 5 days and I need to chat because I can’t keep this info in 😬😬😬
