Pregnant!!!!!

I just found out I’m pregnant with my rainbow baby after many miscarriages I have finally been blessed with my little blessing I’m so happy and my and my husband are already thinking about baby names he is over the moon 🥰❤️

Placenta abruption

Hi ladies.
I’m currently 30 weeks + 1 day, I’ve had my midwife appointment which ended up going to triage and having an emergency scan, to then see the Docter who mentioned placenta abruption, but they didn’t really go into to much detail, just told me no heavy lifting, avoid using the hoover 🤷‍♀️ baring In mind I work in hospitality so on my feet a lot etc, also be told to call triage immediately if I have more reduced movements, bleeding or loss of fluids.

Has anyone had any experience with placenta abruption that could in lighten me a little I know everyone’s difference but I just feel a bit lost 😂

I’m in the waiting phase for my second baby

Please comment how far along were you when your baby came. I’m trying to see if I have realistic expectations on when my second baby might come. First came at 39W+1 and I’m currently 38W+1 with my second. I’m hoping she comes at 39W like her brother.

6 months pp

1. I can not believe my baby is 6 months on the 26th :,)
2. When did everyone wait to get pregnant with #2?
3. Did anyone get pregnant at 6 months plans have a vbac? Or a fully successful pregnancy?

37 weeks ! 😬

I literally only have two doctor appointments left until I'm supposed to be due . I'm super excited and nervous at the same time, but I went to the doctor and I'm only one centimeter dilated so I'm just curious if any other first time moms gave birth earlier than their due date or is normal to go past your due date ? TIA ☺️

Trying to survive third trimester

I’m 30+3, baby is head down and measuring in 94th percentile. I have another growth scan at 36 weeks. This kid is pressing so hard into my cervix, yet simultaneously keeping me from being able to breathe. I’m so nauseous and have slept like crap. How do we survive the last 8+ weeks of this?

Guesses

Anyone fancy a guess of baby 4 12 week 5 days

Baby #2 anyone?

Hello, anyone thinking of having another baby now? Or is pregnant after having a May 25 baby?

Positive stories please!

Hey! I’m 40 weeks pregnant with my first baby and all the way through pregnancy, and especially for the last few weeks I’ve felt really really anxious about how much my life is going to change.
My husband and I are obviously beyond excited and the pregnancy was fully planned, but all I ever get told by people are ‘jokes’ like, ‘that’s it now your life is over’ and ‘say goodbye to x, y and z’.
Also all I ever read on forums like this are the negative / hard bits.
Obviously I’m fully aware our life is going to change completely, but hearing nothing but negative things really takes its toll sometimes, and makes me worry that I’m not ready for this - being 40 weeks it’s making me panic about going into labour because that means that it’s the ‘end’ of my life.

So I guess I’d just like some positive thoughts and encouraging words about what’s to come rather than just negative 😇

Thanks guys!

Heads up about NIPT

I had my first OB appt for baby #2 last week. Am beyond excited!! With that being said my doctor gave me a heads up that sometimes the NIPT test isn’t always accurate for young moms (I’m 22). I didn’t do the NIPT test with my first so this is very new information to me.

Has anyone else’s doctor told you this? And if they did, was the gender part of your test still correct? We’re planning on announcing as soon as we find out the gender as I’m already starting to show, so I’m just really hoping that my age doesn’t mess with the results

!!

has anyone ever had the genesight test done for anxiety/depression? was it accurate for you if so?

When did you find out you were pregnant ?

I want an April 2027 baby so I’m just wondering, if your due date is before April 15th when was your last period & when did you find out you were pregnant?

My heart could explode with thankfulness

I just wanna pause and say, I’m so grateful to be in this position. What a blessing and miracle to be chosen to create life. Even though it’s been crazy hard and way more challenging than what I was expecting. I rest in joy knowing that I’m working towards something greater🤍 We can’t wait to meet our baby!
9 weeks going strong🐣🍼💕

Anyone else still pregnant?!!

I feel like I'm the last one left! Due on Thurs and no signs of baby arriving anytime soon! Any tips to get things moving??

Putting on weight

I know it's normal to put on weight while pregnant but it's really bringing me down and then when I have a bad eating day I just feel like I'm failing..I know it's all probably hormones, I don't think it helps that in my first pregnancy I lost quite a bit of weight instead of putting on

Feel so big

34 weeks, Anyone else feel absolutely huge and as though you can’t get any bigger / heavier 😅 I feel like the baby is also getting lower and things are just generally more uncomfortable
