So I’m 37+2 and being induced on Friday. I’ve had multiple episodes of reduced movements and I was over this afternoon as my girl just wasn’t moving. She moved when I was in the hospital, they were happy and I felt better. I’ve been home since half 3 and her movements haven’t been the same as her normal. I dunno if ...

I am now 4 months postpartum. This is my first baby, i had her with an epidural. Before my pregnancy id get migraines once or so a week. The entire time i was pregnant I didn't have one migraine. Like i said. Im now 4 months postpartum, and i have a migraine just about every single day to the point any noise or ligh...

I am normally such a planner, prepping so far in advance for things and filled with anxiety, but baby is on the way in Jan and I’m more chilled than I’ve ever been in my life, to the point I haven’t really bought much and keep thinking I’ll get it all in December! Am I delulu?? Or is this normal?

I’ve recently been diagnosed with GD. Today is only my second day testing at home. I was reading through some posts on here and when I see people refer to their levels they’re saying numbers like 10 and 12. I’m just confused as my readings are like in 95-150 range. The directions were kinda confusing and I’ve yet to...

I am almost 17 weeks pregnant I felt movement over week ago and not really felt much since I also don’t really feel any different in pregnancy always worrying I contact the midwife she let me hear heart beat said it was good but I have so much anxiety from not feeling any more movement ik it’s still to early i just ...

Just wondering about people’s food aversions during pregnancy. I’m really excited and want to start trying for a second baby but my first pregnancy I was so unwell with the smell of anything cooking, onion, garlic, curry. I would just throw up all the time 😓 Just wondering if anyone has had a completely different…

At my 20 week scan I got told that my placenta is covering my cervix, and that they would rescan me at 28 weeks hoping it will have moved, and they couldn’t see it due to babies head being in the way (he’s head down), so they want to scan me again at 32 weeks. I wasn’t given any information about what placenta prev...

So last night I got very stressed out and was arguing with somebody which I know I should have just tried to stay calm.. but afterwards within about 10 minutes and since then I have just had this really uncomfortable pain in my lower stomach/uterus which feels quite sore to be honest. I am 37+3, I have still felt ba...

When I EBF my 2nd child, my period didnt come in until maybe a year after birth. This time round, my son is only 5 weeks on and i started getting cramps yesterday followed by red when wiping now I've started. Light flow but its blood. Am just so surprised I've started so quickly. Im still EBF and expressing a little...

I still think about everyday how the Dr said when I had my baby maybe my date was wrong because I was due Dec 9th but my son came Nov 9th he said it’s so crazy how he came same day but a month ahead and was full term weight😂😂😂 what do you think? Was my real conception date in feb instead of March?

I’m 22w pregnant with my second baby and I am dealing with crippling anxiety! I can’t sleep, I’m struggling to eat & feel like it’s stopping me from looking after my 10month old baby properly! I feel so restless ALL. THE. TIME! There doesn’t seem to be any obvious triggers (not that I can even think straight) it’s...

I’ve just taken my first anti-sickness tablet at 11 weeks after throwing up continuously for about an hour, and I’m not sure why but I feel really guilty about it. Like I’m letting baby down 😔. Not sure why I’m posting this really other than to see if anyone else has felt the same?

At what point would the pain of your braxton hicks concern you? I’ve had them on and off throughout this pregnancy from relatively early on so I’ve gotten pretty familiar with how uncomfortable they can be.. but since 5:30pm this evening the tightenings seem to go from the top of my stomach to down below and I’ve fe...

These are my test results

Does anyone have this? Or able to offer me any advice please! Haven’t heard of this before but feel like I’m now being fobbed off

A good example of a crazy ask: I will not intentionally fall pregnant before the wedding. (Pregnancy under five months will not be excused from attending wedding events). Another: no tattoos. You need to permanently remove it or pay for a professional to cover it properly. Another: start working out until the day ...

When did everyone start putting weight on when pregnant? Concerned I’m not putting anything on and hope baby is still growing perfectly!

I’m 6.5months pp after c section and I’ve just been completely stunned finding out I’m pregnant again. Any advice ? I wanna hear it all good and bad Currently sh*tting myself tbh 😂

I am a POC & I have not been taking my baby aspirin pills (my body could only tolerate but so much, so I prioritized prenatal vits) . I wonder if it’s too late to lower the chances of preeclampsia. I’m 29 weeks in a few days. My pelvic area is crazy in pain !!!!!!!

For so long I wanted a baby , I dreamed of being a mom . Now that I’m pregnant and about to have my baby , I hate it all . I hate that I have to put my life on hold , I hate that I argue with my partner bc of all the resentment. I’m very aware that I should’ve waited to have a baby I’m still so young (22). I had my ...
