Has anyone tried one? I’ll be 6 weeks in a few days and my first appointment isn’t until I’m 8 weeks but I want to try it.

Are lashes safe to get done when pregnant, has anyone had them done or not? The advice is very wishy washy. Some say yes some say no…?

I’m 35 weeks tommorrow and really struggling with severe upper tightening in the stomach. It got so bad last night that I almost called triage it was taking my breath away, I know it can’t be labour because I haven’t had a bloody show or waters breaking but the umcomfort and tightness is immense. Has anyone else ex...

I am currently pregnant with my second due October 2025, had anyone done the gender Blood Test with their first or second? What was your experience? Did you get the right result? Thank you

About 8/9 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and the HG has been absolutely horrific. Also hate waiting for a date the 1st scan so bad …. I am so inpatient. I’ve also very weirdly lost the ability to control my own body temperature and I am always cold the only way to get warm is in the bath 🥶

Sooo.. my little one has just turned 12 months and I had my first cycle since before I got pregnant with him.. and got pregnant in that cycle 😂 we were hoping to start trying in September so this is a bit of a surprise. I just need some reassurance that everything will be ok really! Wasn’t ready for this 😂 after…

I’ve seen people posting using Frida tests. How does everyone like them? What’s the earliest you’ve gotten a vvvfl or BFP? Thinking about ordering some

There’s a trip I might make during my second trimester. I have pretty bad flight anxiety. I know flying while pregnant in the second trimester is generally safe, but I’m worried the stress and anxiety I experience during the flight (2 hours) will affect my baby. Anyone have any experience of this they can share?

so my so called boyfriend made a comment saying “if that baby makes you lose all that weight ill pay for your skin surgery.” if hurt me so bad bc he is making it seem like im a huge whale. i never felt beautiful around him and that comment just make me feel so much more worse about myself. im 17 weeks pregnant

Hey, just a quick one. I know all hospitals are different etc. But I'm just wondering how long it took everyone to get their results of the 2 hours glucose testing? Thanks 😊

Ugh does anyone else have a return of terrible, all day nausea. This is worst than 1st trimester!!!

Has anyone ever been refused service of having their hair dyed due to postpartum hair loss? I’ve called the stylist and told her I’m having some hair loss and she is going to have a look at it today and do a patch test if she thinks it’ll be okay to dye it. I booked this in the beginning of January but it only start...

Any moms on the 3rd trimester feel like there back with the 1st trimester feeling

Hi, I’m 32 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I feel so huge. With my first I barely had a bump until around 36 weeks and even then it was tiny but this time around I feel like my skin is gonna rip open. I feel soooo uncomfortable, baby movements are so painful, it literally feels like the baby is gonna cut thru...

We’ve been wanting another baby. Our boy is 2 now. Now I’m pregnant!! We’re happy but for some reason it feels so much different than it did the first time. With my son I couldn’t stop touching my belly and had an instant connection and bond. I just found out 2 days ago and we didn’t think it would happen anytime so...

For those of you who have given birth before—when did you start dilating and when did you go into labor? My Doctor checked me today at 35 weeks since I had contractions the other day but I wasn’t dilated at all.

I have my glucose test on Thursday, I am wondering am I ok to drink water before my appointment or do I have to stop at 10 the night before like o do with food.

Hey everyone! Is anyone else little one still breech at 37 weeks? I am booked in for an ECV tomorrow to try and turn the little guy but I am feeling a little anxious that it will stress him out so would be great to hear if anyone else has similar experience! Thanks

I am 18 weeks + 4, I have an anterior placenta and I could have sworn I felt the baby kicking. That side of my belly felt harder than the other side and I could distinctively feel something like kicking. But I don't want to get my hopes up 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 can anyone relate ??

I'm having twins and this is my 3rd NIPT retest. The last two took 6 days from the test date to get the results, but they were inconclusive. I did the blood draw a week ago and it has said they received the samples on the 21st since the 21st, and now it's saying this. I'm getting frustrated because this is my 3rd re...
