Mamas when did your baby flip with either this pregnancy or previous pregnancy. I’m 36 weeks and 1 day and as of now baby is still breech, My C-section is scheduled for December 6th because my doctor thinks baby will not flip at this point.

Finally managed to see baby’s nub at 13w4d. I’m so useless with nub theories, what do we think?? 🩷🩵

When do you take your baby to the dr for crying/fussiness? I am starting to think there might be something wrong, but other than being REALLY fussy for 2 months, i have nothing. But i don’t know if this is normal or not? I have no friends to ask so i’m just on my own.

Just started my first period since giving birth. I am very heavy and have had to go back to maternity pads. Did anyone else experience this? Is this normal. My first few days are my period are normally heavy but this is much worse

Hi, I’m around 8 weeks 2 days. I had a private scan at what I thought was 8 weeks but was measuring 7 weeks 2 days with a strong heartbeat.

hey guys so i’m 37 weeks with my first and have been having trouble telling the difference between early labour signs and braxton hicks and it wouldn’t be an issue bc i could just wait it out and see if it progresses but my partner is fifo and i need to let him know when to fly back. just wondering if anyone can help

I'm about 5.5 weeks now and I'm so scared of losing the baby. We've been trying for 2 years, and with pcos etc I'd accepted it wasn't going to happen. Now we've had the positive tests, seen the sac on scan and it's real. But I'm just convinced something bad is going to happen. Any tips on how to get out of the mindset?

At what gestation did you have your baby? I know everyone is different and depends on size etc but I’m just curious to know what week other T1s had baby?

How many days out the week do you take your LO outside???

Is anyone else in the 3rd trimester and suffering with acid reflux and nausea? Feel like I’m going to throw up it’s just come out of the blue! 32 weeks and constantly retching not being sick though just an awful sensation in my stomach anyone else suffering with this?

I have a drug test on 11/20 for a job promotion that I desperately need & im afraid im not going to pass. I havent smoked since 10/29 or 10/30. Do you think it’s possible for me to pass if I drink nothing but water until then? Any tips besides the detox drinks?

I’m 30 weeks pregnant and I feel like my stomach has changed and gotten smaller but based on past measurements baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead. I feel like baby has just changed positions which is why my stomach looks different this week. Am I being anxious or should I ask my midwife?

Hi ladies I had my first midwife appointment earlier this week. I am currently 10+1 and was told that was high risk due to BMI and having endometriosis. Has anyone else had this? What was involved? Did you have a “normal” pregnancy without complications? I was already feeling nervous but now I feel worse

Officially 10 weeks left …. Hopefully 6 or 7 weeks…. Let’s get this wrapped up lol

Did you wait for your doctor to explain your NIPT results or did you open on your own? lol just got results at 4am & nervous to open.

My heart says yes, but I'm an overthinker. Worrying about whether we can afford it, whether it's a right thing for my first born (what if they hate each other?!), worried about how hard it'll be too....

I’ve had high blood pressure for a few weeks now and it’s been controlled by medication. I went for a routine midwife appointment on Weds and it was a bit high so I’ve been admitted into hospital and been here for 2 nights now.
