Contractions/pain is around lower back and lower abdominal area and lasting between 1-1 min 30 secs but intervals in between haven’t been consistent ranging ...

I wondered if this has ever happened to anyone else, I’m pretty convinced my waters broke tonight around 10pm, no contractions. I was sat on the bed, on my own after a shower, no tv on and there was a gush. It went on my white sheets but the liquid had no colour or smell as I thought maybe baby bounced on my bladd...

So I’m now 39 weeks pregnant since yesterday had alot of tightening cramps in my lower back and some painful twingy cramps in my lower belly and vagina. After a few hours the pain eased and has just been period like cramps. However I have had literally no sleep yet as I can’t get comfortable and I have now started t...

Hey! Sorry for this being TMI but I keep getting discharge like this when I wipe and also a lot of discharge throughout the day. I’m 36+4 could it be my mucus plug?

Completely aware this is a teeeeny amount...but does this mean anything? Was also a bit in my knickers but the dot was less than the size of a 5p. Seems silly to call triage over a tiny dot?

Hi mums , anyone here planned a c section her self ! I mean a Low risk pregnancy with full health just scared of the natural and want a c section ? 🫠

2 miscarriages and 1 fertility treatment healthy pregnancy. 23rd April we find out I’m pregnant through coincidence. Due to my history and additional meds with my daughter I called the EPU to see if I would need these again. Went in for a scan yesterday and found out I’m currently carrying twins.

Hey, mommas! I saw my OB yesterday for my 28 week appointment, and thankfully all went well! This is my husband’s and my first child, and since we found out we’re having a baby girl, we thought— we’ve also gotta try for a baby boy! But trust me, we’re elated for a little girl. We’re just over prepared and being anx...

It’s my first baby and I don’t know what documents am I supposed to bring to the hospital? Is it just our ID’s? 😅

Baby’s not grown for 3 weeks. How quickly did you get in for a scan!

Has anyone used any homeopathic methods for induction of labour naturally. My midwife gave me the number of a homeopathic midwife apparently there’s oral preparations you can take to help induce labour. Has anyone any experience with this?

Me and my fiancé decided 3 months into being pregnant that we would name our daughter … Love Lillian Lorraine Jones 🫶🏾

Bit of a random question. I've been getting bad indigestion/heartburn at night and I've read that you can take gaviscon (NHS website) however it also says not to take anti acidics with sodium bicarbonate... But gaviscon has this ingredient?! So quite contradictory! Not sure whether can take it or not? I also have a ...

I feel my belly tighten and stretched when baby move especially in evening. Is it normal or should I concerned? It feels something like cramps. Not all the time when baby moves but in evening or bed time.

So excited. I already 1 son. Healthy is all that matters. But a fun guessing game regardless.
