I’m 31+3 and I have a decent sized bump, my size 10 normal coat just does up but I think by next week it won’t. I’m a bit loathed to spend money on a maternity coat because once baby is here I won’t have the belly and due to back issues I prob won’t wear him much.

What is the risk associated with lifting more than your newborn’s weight after a c section. I have a newborn and toddler (30 lbs) and my toddler is constantly asking to bf picked up

Just want to know everyone's opinion on induction of labour and medical intervention. Personally, I would like my birth to be as natural as possible as I am using self-hypnosis during labour. However, if medical intervention is needed for the safety of myself and my baby, I am all for it. Whether it's induction, em...

Currently 27+1 weeks pregnant. Has anyone started to notice a pattern with baby movements yet? I haven’t at all! She was really active for 4 days straight and the last 3 she has been quieter, idk whether to be worried or if that’s just her normal. Anyone else?

So this is my third baby but my first sweep, had it done today and have no idea what to expect from now but for anyone who's had one, did it help bring on labour? I am 1cm dilated 🙏🏼

I’m already showing as I have hypermobility so eve...
