My older sis who has always belittled me in her own way has said 2 comments, 1 of them sticking to me in particular. The first one that is sticking to me quite a lot was her saying "but you don't have a high pain tolerance" when I said I was planning to have a natural unmedicated birth... And I was just like (i...

Has anyone else been told it won't be safe to even get pregnant again (after 2nd baby) because your uterus is extremely thin? Do you know what causes this?

Should I be concerned my baby is going to be 7 weeks old in a few days and I still haven’t had a period?

Hey ladies!! I have a son who's about to be a year old, and i had a feeling to take a test 2 days ago and BINGO, pregnant! I haven't gotten in for bloodwork yet to see how far along I am, but i'm so excited (and also terrified!!) I have no clue how i'm going to handle 2 under 2 but i guess i'm going to find out!! An...

Anyone that’s used sneak peak at home in the UK, how long did it take you to receive your results once sent off? Also was it accurate for you?

I just did my first preggo run and it felt so weird! I felt really guilty jiggling the baby around even though I know it’s safe 😱 seems to trigger the round ligament pain too! Anyone else experience this? I used to run 3 times a week but haven’t been able to bring myself too since getting pregnant. I did have to…

Is there anyone else that gets worried that their baby is on the lower centile. How do you get rid of the anxiety?

Hey girlies🥰 I was just wondering when to start collecting colostrum? I’m 35 weeks is it safe to start now?

Hey! I am 16 weeks pregnant and starting at about 8 weeks I have been having the embarrassing issue of severe chest and back acne. It’s not something I have ever dealt with before and it’s not only embarrassing but also uncomfortable! Is anyone else dealing with this during their pregnancy, and what are you doing fo...

2 weeks until I meet baby. I havnt felt how I thought I would throughout pregnancy. I thought I would feel bonded with my bump but still feels so surreal. I don’t know my baby’s gender and I’m really anxious for birth and next chapter. I’m worried how I will feel when baby arrives. What if the anxiety stays and I st...

At my appointment today the midwife found glucose in my urine. I already had the gestational diabetes test at the start of January that came back all fine. Did anyone else get this? What happened?

Anybody got anything that worked for them even slightly ? Just like foods or mints or anything? I’m a woman on the edge 🤣 even the smell of my own skin is making me dry heave 🤣

*Do not want to worry anyone who is pregnant with their first, this relates to a second pregnancy. Is it normal for the movements to feel strong so soon? I'm 21 weeks and the radiographer last week asked if I was getting movements and I said yes, they said "it'll be like butterflies". This really doesn't feel like ...

Is anyone else so nervous to have another baby? My daughter will be 2 in May and i feel like i have everything under control.

I’ve just been prescribed promethazine for my sickness and nausea. I’m feeling a bit nervous about taking it as I haven’t heard of antihistamines being used for anti sickness. Has anyone taken this before in first trimester? Thanks xx

Anyone else having irregular periods after birth. My first two were really regular on monthly cycle and my third one is now quite a few days late. I'm pretty certain I'm not pregnant - we've only had sex once this month (post birth iykyk), and used protection but period still showing no signs of arriving which is...

Hey, this is my first pregnancy I’m currently 14w 2 days and I’m constantly worried about whether baby is okay. Does anyone else have this same problem?

I’ve been told not to trust CB tests. But I swear I can see a vvvvvvvfl there. I’ll post the no edited test in the comments and the strip test was a complete a BFN.

I had a one hour glucose tolerance test but now my provider is making me do the three hour one. I know you can pass if you drink a lot of water and walk around but that’s something that they don’t let you do when taking it so I was just wondering if anyone has passed without doing any of that?
