It’s my birthday next week and all I want to do is sit at home, because going out to eat (something I normally absolutely love) has turned into such an area of stress for me. Having to interrogate ingredients, deal with staff who don’t know what pasteurised means (not their fault ofc) and double check they’ve given ...

I wish my partner would be more empathetic to how much stress and change i have to go through in order to grow our baby. The body changes, all the hormones and symptoms that come with it, going to all the dr appts, the tiredness especially still working full time. I know this sounds like i’m looking for a pity par...

I’m 6 months postpartum on the 8th and found out I’m pregnant last week! Not sure how far along I am but I got what I thought was my period last month although it was super light.. so if my last period was Oct 21 then I’d be around 7 weeks. Anyways I’m already having ligament paint and some stretching pain.. woul...

Hello mommas we just found out we are pregnant with twins we are happy but super scared I only weigh 101 pounds and I’m scared there will be complications what should I be eating?? And need help with nausea it’s killing me (we are 9 weeks)

I went for my 20 week scan this week and baby’s tummy was measuring bigger so they have said I need to be tested for gestational diabetes as it could mean this. Has anyone had this and can it mean anything else? Also how long after having your test done did it take to receive results?

I got a 135 which is their cutoff even though the actual results say normal is under 140. Going to do the 3hr one on Monday 🤞🏼

I really pushed a whole baby out of me last night 😭😭. No epidural. No petocin. No tearing. No warning contractions or nothing. 0cm the day before.

Anyone know when you should start using a pregnancy ball to sit and bounce on? Due beginning of April. 🤰🏻

Need some advice I’ve had the test done this week and got the results back but mine came back just saying normal and that was it so now I’m not sure what this means does it mean I have it or not 🤷‍♀️

4 weeks and 6 days

I’m currently 14 weeks and 5 days Due date June 1st ! How do I figure out when I convinced or date I convinced

I'm only 36+1 weeks, making me due on the 2nd. I have this massive gut feeling that I'll go into labour next week or the week after

Just done a sneakpeek gender test at 7 weeks. Just wanting to know others experiences with accuracy? Were your results correct ?

Anyone got glucose in wee but midwife doesn't think I need gestational diabetes test?

I’ve just had my 16 week midwife appointment and was told I’m at moderate risk of having the baby early. She didn’t really explain much other than this meaning I’d have a couple of extra scans later on. Has anyone else been told this? Should I be worried?

Can't tell what to do.. my appointment Wednesday I was 110/80 so perfect blood pressure.. but yesterday and this morning.. I've done it 3 times and it all is 136/91. I'm not sure if I should call and have them check it in office or just wait until my appointment Wednesday. Last time this happened, a few weeks ago wa...

Hey, so I’m due my second baby any time now and thought I’d pop into the October group to see if any second (or third or fourth lol) time mums have any tips for securing that epidural 😂 First time round I hated labour so much until I had an epidural and then it was a really nice experience as I was no longer in…

Hey, so I’m due my second any time now. First time round I hated labour so much until I had an epidural and then it was a really nice experience as I was no longer in pain. I really want to try and make sure I can get the epidural again this time. I’m aware that for lots of second (and subsequent) births things go q...

I just got to 33 weeks today. So I’m in the 8th month. And I’m looking at my belly and feeling it. And yea it does seem a bit small from my other 2 pregnancy’s. Or I’m just used to be pregnant at this point. I had my first in 22 and my second in 23. So it was back to back. But I did feel larger with those two. A...

I’ve been feeling super up and down this week because I’m still pregnant, everyone keeps texting me asking me “how are you feeling” and it’s getting annoying honestly. Like I feel the same as the last time you asked 🫠. I’m having 2 appointments this week since I’ve gone over my due date. I just feel a mix of…
