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...

I'm in the 17th week and I don't know if it's the flatulence or if my baby is a martial artist🥊😱

My baby girl is now two weeks old, and I hate that in that little time I am already struggling.

Has anyone been suffering from anxiety/panic attacks? I’ve been waking up at 5am the last two days and just walking outside for two hours doing breathing exercises and talking out loud to myself to calm down. Never had them before so it’s freaking me out but I think they are just over the unknown as it’s my first ti...

What do we think?

So I’m currently 4w6d! I have the slightest period/poo discomfort in my lower stomach! I’m pregnant with my rainbow baby after a miscarriage at the middle of last year, so obviously very nervous about everything! I suppose i just want to know if anyone else has felt like this!? You always feel like you’re the only o...
