Hi everyone, just looking for advice really and to get a bit of a feel for how others would react in this situation. I can't fault my husband tbh. He's helpful, he cooks, he will go shopping, he's a great dad. But I'm really irritated atm. I'm currently 20w pregnant and have a 2 year old. I was in hospital al...
Had a private scan thinking I was 7weeks 5 days. They could see an empty sac with fluid measuring 4-5 weeks. Referred to EPU had another scan which showed the same as private. Took my bloods and then again 48 hours later and my hormones have “significantly risen” I have no bleeding, no cramps and haven’t really ha...
Does anyone know if a pharmacist will look at your c section wound that’s possibly infected? I’m 7 weeks pp and have had constant trouble with my wound. I think it may be infected again but don’t want to wait till Monday to get it checked🤦🏻♀️ wasn’t sure if a pharmacist would be much help?
Struggling to decide on a name for our baby girl. Since we found out I was pregnant we knew she was a girl and have always referred to her as poppyseed so would like Poppy to be within the name. If we go with Poppy as a first name my partner really likes Grace with it however this is my name and feels a bit egotis...

I am being induced on Wednesday for medical reasons but haven’t had any guidance on how it will go, should I take both birthing partners with me straight away? Will they stay the whole time? What will happen?! Can anyone help thanks x
I had a private scan a couple days ago, during the scan I’m sure I saw some movement from baby but neither me or the sonographer commented on this at the time, I’d have felt silly questioning it when the pregnancy is only 9 weeks. But, in the report it says “Fetal heartbeat and movement seen” what does that mean? ...
I just turned 29 on Feb. 13th. My bestfriend. Childhood friend. Friends since before we could walk or talk did not tell me happy birthday on my birthday she actually didn’t text or call at all on my birthday. She writes me today but it’s a random TikTok video. Am I being petty if I cut her off because of this?
I've just realised they never recorded my babies length when they were born, just feeling a bit sad about it as wanted to order a birth pillow :-(
Is this normal because I’m now getting super stressed. I’m having to have a planned c section due to pelvic issues and have been given a pre op date. I was also given a c section date for a month after my due date which has now been cancelled for obvious reasons. I have yet to be given is new c section date and when...
