Pregnancy

I keep feeling this tightening of my lower stomach now and back pain off and on the past few days. Almost like Braxton hicks but I’m not sure if it’s that or early labor. I’m 36 weeks this week.

I’m not in this position but I’m curious as to how you deal with this what did you do with the baby I’m hearing stores of people saying it’s illegal to just flush as many women do because it’s considered a human past 15 weeks

My son’s birthday is months away but I’m the type of person who likes to plan ahead or else anxiety/panic mode kicks in 😅 Anyway, I’m hosting my son’s 6th birthday party this year. The place I’m booking my son’s birthday party is, I’ll be paying up to 25 kids (including any child, siblings, ect, ages from 0-17).…

I’m having another boy in October he will be called Freddy (I prefer Freddie but my partner is adamant on the Y🤣) anyways… I’m so stuck for a middle name any suggestions please 😌🩵

Anyone else finding recovery tough even after a planned section? I knew it would be painful and uncomfortable but I’m going into day 3 feeling so beaten up! I am only taking paracetamol but yeah, just wondered if anyone felt the same? X

I’m 38+5 and over the past couple of days I’ve had some bad pain in my tummy, wondered if anyone else had the same? It’s not cramps, kind of like a stabbing, but it has been strong enough to stop me from doing whatever I’m doing. I can’t really explain 😫

Hey, do you all have a midwife you can call and ask questions? I am 14 weeks pregnant and apart from my booking appointment, I haven’t had any midwife appointments. I was also not contacted by my midwife on the phone or was not giving a number i can call for any questions. I have a number which says to call once 16 ...

Anyone constantly having arguments with their other half since having a baby? I’m just exhausted and feel like I’ve lost myself

We want to do a gender reveal with our family to all find out together. If we tell this to the sonographer at our 20 week scan, will they write the gender down for us and put it in an envelope if we take the paper and envelope?

I had my 2024 Christmas baby a few months ago and was just wondering- others with children born on Christmas Day when do you celebrate their birthday? Do you do it on Christmas Day or an alternative day? Thinking far ahead but so excited already to have a super special Christmas time! Thank you x

I’m 40+1 I’ve been having the urge to poo more and I’m feeling a little nausea tonight. Is that a sign (probs to stop eating) or a concern 😂

anyone studying whilst looking after their little one…i’m going insane my brain doesn’t want to function properly!! studying late night is not for the weak but it’s the only chance i get usually…anyone else? i need help!

Please comment your baby boy's name and/or lists of names you have. My husband is half spanish, half black and i'm white and we're having the hardest time picking a boy name. Hubby thinks all boy names sound too white and since baby will be lightskin we'd like something more cultural. Sister's name is Keanna.

I haven't gotten to see my doctor it's scheduled. i just got my positive blood work but I'm bleeding. Has anyone had this

Okay I feel like this might be a dumb question but if I give birth via C Section… do I still get the epidural? If so how does the epidural work I know it makes you numb but when does it wear off? Does it actually work to make it numb?

I adore this name with nickname Clemmy. What do u think of it? What would u pair with it as a middle?
