I’ve been having tummy tightenings and cramping since it woke me up about 1am, they don’t seem to be getting closer together and can be a bit sporadic, sometimes 5 mins apart, sometimes 10, sometimes longer. During the night they very much felt like painful period cramping, this morning they feel a bit less painful....

My 6-month-old boy woke up today crying with screams of fear, he didn't recognize me or his dad, he pushed us when we tried to calm him down. We took him to the hospital to see if he was in pain but everything was fine. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

My 6 month old rolls from back to belly only and doesn’t sit. Anyone else experience this? Should we be concerned? Her next appointment is in 2 weeks.

Hi everyone! I’m 8 weeks along and have noticed my nausea can be really bad one day and hardly there the next! Is this normal? It’s so scary because there’s all these old wives tails about if you have sickness it’s a healthy pregnancy etc I could barely eat a thing on Monday, had a terrible headache Tuesday and W...

Hi guys, I have a Dr's appointment about this next week but wanted to know if anyone has any ideas why my LG holds her arm in this position? (right arm only) she has as good a grip in it as her left arm, she can hold herself up during tummy time etc. She just seems to hold it in this awkward position. The HV didn't ...

I’m sat watching my belly kick out and movements, but I’m not feeling all of them like I’m watching his kicks, and there’s no usual kicky feeling?? Or am I just used to the feeling now?? Fully sat here think I’m going delulu 😂😂😂

So I didn’t experience this “bubble” sensation yet - they say you won’t miss it, you will be able to tell. I feel this not cramp but clearly a pressure-like coming and going sensation this morning that made me pause and go “Oh” as I was walking to the kitchen. Literally lasts 1-2 seconds. Could this be it?

Literally been throwing up the past 4 nights with terrible heartburn and acid reflux. Tomorrow I’ll be 38 weeks.

Any body got a 4 month old that can’t roll yet? How much floor time do you give your babies per day? Don’t think I give her enough floor time All other milestones she’s smashing! She’s better at sitting than rolling lol. She hated tummy time on the floor and would refuse to even try no mater what I did and would ...

I’m really struggling. I’m utterly exhausted and have only managed to sleep 2-3 hours a night since he was born. It’s left me feeling unbelievably tearful and like I can’t do this. At what point do I know that this is no longer the ordinary baby blues associated with the hormone drop vs a longer term issue?

I’m 23 weeks pregnant and although you can definitely see my bump it still feels squishy when I touch it when does it start to stretch out and be hard 😂 I was a size 12 pre pregnancy xx

I’m 36 weeks today, and is anyone else just done.? Like over being pregnant, I’m tired of feeling like I can’t breathe and clothing drives me nuts. But you have to wear clothes because it’s socially unacceptable to not. I had a non-stress test today and they said baby looks great and I was having contractions and to...

Did anyone else have a really heavy period that lasted longer than their normal period right after giving birth? Like their first one after.

I'm 34+3 and the past 2 days I've been hearing what sounds like a clicking/popping/cracking sound when baby kicks..I googled it and it says online it's the sound of baby's joints cracking. This concept is just insane to me🤯😂

Has anyone else had severe pelvic girdle pain? I’m 28 weeks and feel like I can barely move around now. I went to physio although they didn’t do anything but give me crutches as they said they can’t really do any exercises whilst I’m pregnant, so didn’t really help to be honest. Has anyone been to their GP about it...

I’m 21weeks +2days, I was in the hospital on Mother’s Day for spotting, not in my underwear but noticed when I would wipe, I was monitored for about 2 hours and sent home and was told it was either a fluke or the start of something and they didn’t do an ultrasound. Today I’m having the same situation, light spotting...
