We left our 6 month old with my in-laws for an hour just so we could get a food shop in. We gave clear instructions that she was due a nap and would finish the rest of her bottle prior to that - our baby is a routine baby, and often gets upset if that routine isn’t followed as best as we can When we came back, she ...

Has anyone got any advise on the blood thinning injections? I had them with my first born post c section. This pregnancy because of my health I need to take them from 12 weeks till 6 weeks postpartum. I’ve only been taking them two weeks and the bruising is so bad some injection sites have black bruises an inch all ...

not sure if anybody will be able to find anything but I thought I’d give it a whirl!😊

Does anyone else feel like they are worrying about every little thing? I feel like I stress over everything. I’m 9 days postpartum and it feels like the things to think about and worry about are never ending. It doesn’t help being seriously sleep deprived either. I was on anxiety medication pre pregnancy but stopp...

Currently set to start at week 39 but thinking of bringing it forward to 37 weeks and wondering what people tend to do!

I fell down about 10 steps this morning, lost my balance and slid on my bum. I called triage very upset and went to check if everything was ok — baby’s heartbeat was ok and they were happy for me to leave. I’m feeling so, so anxious though, just beating myself up, overthinking every little pulling feeling that or...

I need to let it out… So it’s almost 2yrs ago but when I was in my first trimester, my husband (as well as MIL) was really strict with my diet. I shouldn’t drink ice water bc it would freeze the baby inside, but I also shouldn’t drink something too hot bc it would burn the baby inside…(He told me it’s part of his r...

I have been feeling anxious since yesterday as my LO movements are a little less but I also found out I have an anterior placenta which could impact. We are in the middle of a house move & supposed to move today but I can’t help but worry about whether LO is ok. Of course I’m not carrying any heavy stuff but been do...

My glucose test is tomorrow morning but wanted to ask if you also get to have a chat with the midwife? I wanted to talk about baby’s movements so just wondering if you do get to do that or is it just the glucose test?!

Hi All What’s is the purpose for genetic testing please? Thank you

I’m almost 18 weeks. This is my second baby and my first is 17 months old so hasn’t been too long between the pregnancies. Everyone has said that I should feel movement by now but I have felt absolutely NOTHING. No flutters, no bubbles, just feels like nothing is there. I’ve had a missed miscarriage before so I a...

I found out at 21 weeks my placenta is covering my cervix, I’m just wondering if anyone else has had this and has the placenta moved?

Baby number 3 and have only just heard about the nub theory, Any guesses? We find out in 2 weeks and the wait is killing me! 😆 there is another image in comments

I had a panic attack 37 weeks pregnant and had an outer body experience, I felt as though I was not real, it was scary. I googled symptoms and it came up with things like deperilisation and derilsation which some people feel like that everyday of their lives, I feel like every day since that panic attack I’m not rea...
