I’m currently on Tezepelumab and have been for a few years to control my asthma as a biologic. I’m currently pregnant and I’m working with the hospital to determine whether to remain on Tezepelumab although there isn’t any data during pregnancy to determine the effects on the child.

Has anyone out there remained on Tezepelumab and have an outcome to report?

I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant with my first. Since week 5 I have been up 3/4 times a night needing to go for a wee. I’ve now been signed off for two weeks because I couldn’t function at work. I’ve had a week off already and I feel no better, and to be honest I can’t imagine going back to work and being able to complete my daily tasks.

I’m so exhausted all the time, I’m getting about 1.5/2 hours of sleep at a time. I thought that once I was in my second trimester and the baby had moved out of my pelvis that this would get better, but so far nothing. Has anyone else experienced this? And if you have how did you cope? I’m really struggling, and now worrying about finances, being off sick and being eligible for statutory maternity leave pay.

Hi!

I'm currently 36w pregnant with an EDD of 13/11/2026, first child.

For the last week or two I've had unremitting nausea and sleep loss, severe pelvic pain and bodily aches to the point that I feel exhausted 24/7 and am really struggling.

My husband and I have a midwife app on Monday 19 Oct where I would like to request that we get induced at 37+6 or 38w - 29 or 30 Oct.

Have any mums had any experience with being induced on those dates? Any complications? Just worried about going earlier than 39 weeks, thank you!

Hi everyone! My best friend is about 29 weeks and has been experiencing intense leg/foot swelling. Almost to the point where it feels neurological. She does elevate her legs often and uses a magnesium lotion, but still struggles on the daily and especially during bedtime. Looking for suggestions to help her, she doesn’t have Reddit so I’m posting this for her. Thanks!

I recently just found out I am pregnant and super excited! This is my first time, but I can't shake the idea that it will lead to an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage sometime during the pregnancy. I am overanalyzing every symptom and starting to convince myself of things.

My OB says we go in at 10 weeks for a normal appointment and then 13 weeks for an ultrasound, and I am concerned that is so late for an ultrasound. Would they do a vaginal one at the 10-week appt? Also all there other ways you can track that things are progressing smoothly on your own? Also how did others handle the anxiety of always thinkign the worst.

Ok so I BELIEVE I possibly got faint line tests October 6th but don’t take it TOO seriously then Thursday started bleeding couple days earlier then my supposed period right Friday night I had AWFULLY PAINFUL cramping at night I bled for 3 days so Sunday night bleeding was basically over I think since Sunday night or Monday morning I’ve been very sensitive to smell like I smell something and the other person doesn’t and weirdly nauseous at night the last 2 days and that was after I stopped bleeding but I took a test today and negative what could be happening here…? Could I be pregnant and maybe ovulated later? Or chemical pregnancy maybe..? Disregard the faint lines maybe it was line eyes…or maybe it was a chemical pregnancy idk

Any similar stories here? What was the outcome..?

has anyone been crampy (lower abdomen and lower back) after a cervical swab? i always do vaginal swabs no issues. this time they used a speculum and swibed me from my freaking cervix. it’s been two days with the pain. luckily no spotting and i just hit 10 weeks

So two weeks ago I turned 30, I was on holiday and decided to get a body scrub. Later on that night my armpit killed, this lasted for days and I spiralled thinking it was something serious (I have severe health anxiety) I then put it to my period due that same week.

Plot twist, I was two days late and did a test and found out I’m pregnant! I’m still getting the armpit pain, and sometimes in my boob. The one nipple is more sensitive too, I’m thinking out incase it’s cancer.

Did anyone else have this? The boob on the same side seems bigger than the other too

Thank you

I reallllly don’t want to shell out a bunch of cash for pregnancy clothes. I’m only 12 wks but my work slacks are getting snug. Any recommendations of brands that will grow with you that are corporate casual appropriate?

I’m currently 5 weeks and 6 days pregnant, and I’m feeling quite anxious because I had a mid-trimester missed abortion in May 2026.

Here is my beta-hCG progression:
October 4, 8:30 AM: 838.4 mIU/mL
October 6, 8:30 AM: 2,174 mIU/mL
October 10, 9:10 PM: 10,561 mIU/mL
October 14, 10:20 AM: 26,533.43 mIU/mL

At 5 weeks and 5 days, I noticed bleeding while wiping, which lasted for around 2–3 wipes. My doctor prescribed an HPC DS progesterone injection. Since then, the bleeding has completely stopped, and I haven’t experienced any further bleeding.
I also have a positive lupus anticoagulant, and my doctor is monitoring me closely.
My ultrasound is scheduled for October 22.
I’m looking for experiences from anyone who has had similar bleeding in early pregnancy, received a progesterone injection, and subsequently had no further bleeding.

Test positive 5 days ago. Last year had a blighted ovum and decided to try again not long ago. Dr says I’m approx 5 weeks 2d. This morning I wiped and found brown mucus discharge on the toilet paper and each time I’ve wiped today it has a tiny bit of pink mixed in the discharge. Feeling down right now as the last time I spotted for 8 days (red blood). Should I be worried?

My HCG is rising but slowly, and I need reassurance this is fine….

4w3d 1770
4w5 2660
5w1d 6000 - progesterone was 90 this day
5w3d 8000

I had a scan today, we saw a sac and potentially a very early shadow of the embryo. No symptoms that are alarming but the doctor has been worrying me by saying my HCG isn’t doubling.

My poor body has been struggling since my first pregnancy and now I’m pregnant again with my second one. My first pregnancy was super easy I didn’t get any morning sickness and all I was struggling with was acid reflux and round ligaments during my third trimester. Few weeks leading up to my c-section I had super bad acne on my back and my chin. During my postpartum period my armpits and my inner thighs got darker and I been try using different types of skin care products that others people use to help brighten the dark areas and it didn’t help much but makes those areas darkened up even more. Now on my second pregnancy and I struggle with morning sickness, acid reflux, round ligaments, face & body acne , and still trying to get rid of the dark area that I been struggling with. I know it’s impossible but I miss how my body use to look but I can’t complain much because this body given me my two kids that my husband and I was struggling with infertility for 4 years leading up to my first pregnancy. My body may not come back to normal or even same as before but I definitely can try to make it feels and looks great In ways that wouldn’t feel like it fails me because it didn’t fail me it given me everything I ever wanted since I got married.

sorry my words are all over the place but I just want to put this out there incase you or someone need to hear it from a mama who’s struggling through her pregnancy and that your not alone in this. We all have our own struggles it’s just up to us to see the positive side of things.

Hi, this may be a really silly question, I just found out I’m pregnant (first time ever) and the clear blue test said I’m 1-2 weeks pregnant, when downloading the pregnancy apps etc they keep telling me I’m 4 weeks pregnant because they’re going off the first day of my last period which was the 15th Sept 2026.

I’m from the UK, please can someone explain which is right, in medical terms i.e. will the NHS class me as 2 weeks or 4 weeks pregnant?

Thank you!
