How are you coping, mamas?

Hey mamas, how’s everyone doing? I had my baby 11 days ago and just wanted to check in and see how you’re all coping. I’ve been struggling a bit—lack of sleep, feeling really emotional and hormonal, and I’ve found myself crying a lot. My partner is really helpful and supportive, but I still don’t quite know how to c...

Belly stopped growing

Hey yall. My belly stopped growing for about a week now. I am 26 weeks and 4 days today. When I do my breathing exercises I can tell that he has grown (like my uterus is bigger, not sure how else to explain it) but my belly in full has not.

Baby dropping

Is it possible at 28 weeks your baby can drop ? I feel the baby kicking low down and head at the top under my breast . Is this normal or should I be worried the baby may possibly come early as I thought yesterday I lost some of my mucus plug ?

C section scar

I had my c section 2 years ago now, but since yesterday my scar has been red, sore, pussie and smelly. It's bank holiday so my drs is shut and 111 is no help. I've got 2 little ones so sitting at urgent care is just not an option, has anyone had this and got something from the pharmacy that I could give a try?
