Butterflies kicks?

Hiya ladies, need some advice, as im in my head and a little panic mode, this last week ive been feeling these little faint kicks fromm son, but now nothing for 2 days, do I need to worry? Im currently 23 weeks, 24 weeks tomorrow, this is my first pregnancy

Anybody going through their pregnancy alone?

Just wondering. 15w and due March 12, 2027.

It’s just the beginning and this is one of the hardest things I’ve done!

Announce my pregnancy or hide it at my performance this Friday?

5 months with baby #2 and SHOWING. I don’t wanna keep wearing spanx and hiding the baby but I’m not quite ready to go public yet either.

What’s your average screen time on your phone?

Sometimes my phone tells me my weekly average of screen time on it and it always makes me feel shitty - what are your guys averages like?

I genuinely didn’t think I was on my phone THAT much so seeing it is a bit of a woah time to reduce it moment for me (and yes I know it’s ironic that I’m on it right now)

Pregnancy Pillows

Hiya! I’m a first time mum and was wondering when anyone started using a pregnancy pillow? I’m currently 24 weeks and i don’t have one, is it something to invest in asap?

39 weeks 4 days

What made you go into Labour im so ready to have this baby I feel like a ticking time bomb but it’s in slow motion ugh 😭😭

How're we dealing with bump comments

People keep commenting on how big im getting and dont get me wrong it's definitely clear im pregnant now (22+5) but people keep making comments and I have some prior body issues I was still working on when I fell pregnant so hearing things like 'youre getting so big!' Even when meant harmlessly can be quite hard for me to hear even if I do know i am getting bigger and am comfortable with the changes happening since I know it means baby is just getting bigger and my body is working with that. Just feels like the amount of unsolicited comments made is insane especially as a FTM with no prior experience with pregnancy

What all do you have ready?

I am soooo excited for my boy to get here! Our nursery is pretty much finished. I havent started washing clothes yet. Ive been cleaning my house like crazy lol I havent packed my hospital bag or the diaper bag yet. I am 32 weeks and 3 days. I love to be prepared and honestly just so excited. Wondering what all you girls have done already/when you will be starting stuff etc.

Who’s still pregnant and was due around the 11/09

Really tired and not sure why 2nd o pregnancy is taking longer than the first.
Any suggestions?
Had 1 sweep which was successful but did not induce labour

Glucose test NI

I have my glucose test tomorrow, this is my second pregnancy I feel the first time I was told about fasting etc, this time I haven’t been told anything. Can someone just let me know how long I fast for before the test tomorrow

Braxton hicks/prodromal labour

I'm 35+4 but throughout my pregnancy (and last) had lots of braxton hicks/tightenings and threatened preterm labour. Despite 3x positive actim partus preterm labour tests it has never come to anything, on a couple of occasions I was admitted for steroids and monitoring but it has always passed with no cervical changes or dilation.

I've been having lots of irregular tightenings and discomfort generally but yesterday was a bit more intense through the day and I timed them in the evening, carried on in a similar pattern for a few hours. It died down, I slept and today is back to 'my normal' of irregular, uncomfortable tightenings and generally feeling achy and uncomfortable.

Has anyone else had similar to this and how long did it last before you went into labour? I didn't labour with my first baby as I ended up with an elective but hoping for a VBAC this time round

How many of us have gone on to have another baby?

Just out of curiosity 😊

starting to see more & more announcements!

i’m 37 weeks on Tuesday and these announcements are making me sooo excited! I can’t believe how soon it’ll be till I meet my lil boy🥹

congrats to all the mummys that have had their October baby already!! I hope everything went well and wishing you all the best🩵💕

Worried about stomach pouch after having kids

My tummy has always been my problem area. I’ve now got 3 under 3 kids and after the first 2 I lost the weight pretty quickly and went back to my previous weight. Now after my 3rd baby I’m 6 months postpartum and my stomach still bulges outwards under my breasts if you know what I mean so I still look pregnant. Not the lower tummy but the bit that curves out under the breasts if you know what I mean and I don’t know if this will ever go down? It’s like it’s muscle that’s used to being pregnant now!

2nd baby

Honestly mammas the 2nd pregnancy with a toddler is rough! I don’t remember this much nausea or gagging, the loss of appetite or the back pain and random cramping and oh my the tiredness! Anti sickness meds don’t help, they make me gag even more and I’m sweating 24/7. Oh what a day and I’m not even 8 weeks yet 😴

Breakouts

Has anyone else experienced their skin breaking out in early stages of pregnancy? My skin had been clear for a year or so after finding a good skincare routine (I used to struggle with breakouts) but over the last week or so has started to get bad again, I really don’t want to go backwards & hoping it doesn’t last for the whole pregnancy!! Any advice would be really welcomed 🫶🏼
