pregnant

Always listen to your gut, mamas. I went to the ER at 18w2d because I KNEW my water was leaking (woke up in a huge wet spot, had been up an hour or two before and hadn’t had to pee). I told them I was concerned because I had just had a UTI the week before, and from my time in nursing school, I...

My wife’s water broke Christmas Eve morning, she is currently 31 weeks and 4 days old. She’s been admitted into the hospital and given steroids to help develop our baby’s lungs and antibiotics via IV and orally. The plan is bed rest at the hospital and hope and pray that we can keep the baby...

I posted here around a week ago I think and one person said I wasn’t pregnant, but I’m gonna post again to see what everyone thinks. My boyfriend has a vasectomy & got cleared twice for a 0 sperm count. One in like late late last year and another in January. I don’t think we had sex in...

My fiancée (32NB) and myself (30F) just found out we’re roughly 5 weeks pregnant this past weekend. This will be our first pregnancy/baby and we’re so excited to see where this journey takes us. But I’m struggling to get my hopes up, especially since I work with an asshole. My coworker (50F)...

I’ve had two miscarriages in the past 6 months, and I’m currently in my third pregnancy. First pregnancy : 6w4d my HCG was 2126. I miscarried at 7w. Second pregnancy : 7w5d my HCG was 3882. I miscarried at 8w4d. This pregnancy, my doctor is getting me in a whole bunch to check my HCG...

I am 11 days late with my period. Had sex Dec.11th w/ condom and pull out, no tears or rips. That cycle my period came 8 days early (Dec.31) and only lasted 5 days, normally my cycle is 7-8 days long. It was light/ to medium flow and normally it’s medium/ heavy. This period worried me so I took...

I had an ectopic pregnancy months back now and I had a worry I was pregnant again. I've done a test and there's a very slight line. Could this be false? I'm incredibly anxious after the whole ordeal so any help would be great x

I need some advice from you wonderful people out there. FtM, I am 25 weeks pregnant and already chose a hospital for the birth. As the weeks progress I am not sure how to go forward with the modalities of birth. I'd love to hear your opinion on the many ways to give birth. In the beginning of...

Someone posted about being scared about pregnancy. They are not pregnant, but the idea is very intimidating to them (I totally get it) She was explaining how she has watched a bunch of videos on TikTok about reasons not to get pregnant, read birth horror stories, and heard some not so great...

Soooo I'm only 5 weeks and 5 days based on my last period, but I am so bloated that I look like I am 20-30 weeks preggo!! To be honest, I am 5'4" and 180 lbs with a lot of weight in my tummy, but wow this just makes me feel so awful. I can't even really suck it in because I am constantly...

1-10DPO absolutely no symptoms. The only symptoms I truly had is diarrhea on 11-13 DPO, very light nausea here and there, temporary stiffness in lower left part of my back 13/14DPO. Cramping all over my abdomen but I’m not sure if it’s really cramping. I’ve felt little spasms but I don’t know...

I have been tracking my blood HCG and progesterone levels since for the last week or so. Things are looking OK (my HCG betas started low), but today my progesterone dropped, and it freaked me out. I have left a message for my clinic but they aren’t open until tomorrow. They always seem way too...

My friend just had a second and seems miserable. It’s pulled her and her husband apart, added financial strain, eliminated all of her personal time, created jealousy with the first kid, etc. I never see her anymore, she’s always tired or stressed. It just doesn’t look worth it. What am I missing?

I track my ovulation, via FAM (temperature and cervical mucus) and my period app, it’s usually 11/12 ish days after my period. Is there even a possibility of pregnancy if it’s that close to my period? For future, is it safe to continue not pulling out if it’s that close to my period? (25f, 24m)

As I cannot post pics here, here is a post I just made with picture references! Prefacing this by saying I’m a very anxious person in general and experienced a CP two months ago hence the worry and seeking reassurance 🙃 On 11DPO I got the faintest of faint positives on a FRER. In fact it took...

ETA: none of what I say here is meant to reflect anything negative towards other csection mothers. This was just my experience and my feelings about it. I gave birth January 14th at 2:19AM to a beautiful baby girl. I am so happy she is here safely, but I feel seriously traumatized by my birth...

After 40+ weeks of planning and preparing for an intervention free birth I found myself throwing all my plans into the trash when I woke up at 40+6 at 2am with back labor. I was fully prepared for how everyone had described contractions, feeling intense period like or diarrhea cramps. I was...

My LMP was 8th Jan. This makes me currently 5+5. I have long, irregular cycles, but I always get distinct, sore ovulation pain exactly 2 weeks before my period comes. I had that ovulation pain 18 days ago and if I calculate my pregnancy based on ovulation date and not LMP it puts me at 4+3...
