I had an emergency c-section 6weeks ago, and I was told not to drive for the following 6 weeks. My 6weeks check up appointment is scheduled for next Friday, my dilemma is should I wait until then to start driving or can I start driving now if I feel well within myself? TIA

I am aware that some people might be part of a priority group even if they don’t look it, but I’m quite shocked at how no one has offered me a seat on the tube since I have started wearing my Baby on Board badge last Monday. My commute is almost 1h30min, and I have been feeling quite unwell. There were actually tw...

So I had an emergency scan yesterday at 35+5 because of reduced movements. They measured her and she’s coming out at a whopping 6.8lbs give or take! I’m due Feb 21st. Are they going to want to induce me early being quite large for her gestational age? I won’t lie I’m absolutely petrified of being induced and giving ...

They found a shadow on one of the scan photos and I'm being sent to a specialist for a second scan. I asked my Dr to call my husband because she would be able to explain better. Now he's going on about organ failure, surgery and transplants. Having to live in a group home. We don't even have an appointment for the...

Hi guys! We are wondering about the spelling for our LOs name and if there would be confusion if spelled this way. Do you think the name Mireya sounds like....

I had to go the induction route unfortunately and had a pessary put in about 5 hours ago and ever since my vagina literally feels like it’s going to Fall off and has been in pain ever since. I’ve not been having contractions but my vagina is literally broken. Is this normal?

Hello! I am 33 weeks and 4 days and i’m pretty sure I just lost my mucus plug. i looked up images of it online and mine seems to match (i know gross but what else can i do). has anyone else experienced this this early? google is not helpful because everything is contradicting🥴 please help!

Im nearly 6 week PP. I had an emergency c section - I have noticed that my scar has been bleeding. Having suffered with infections ever since I had the operation I am cautious what this could mean. Has anyone else experienced this or do I need to contact triage?

Just a small trickle. Is it that? Confused. Do I go to hospital? Or wait for contractions to start?

Just passed my driving test recently and I've bought a car. I'm just wondering am I over thinking being a bit short in the car and feeling like I should be seeing more of the ground level (through windscreen) or is it in my head?? I'm 5'3. I guess I just feel I should have a bit more view, feel a bit dug in in my...

Water broke at around 19.15, I went to the hospital, they didn’t check my dilatation cause it may lead to infection, been assigned, baby is alright , I keep constantly losing my water when I get up 😩😩like I showered 3 times in 1 h… been sent home and wait 18 h to see active labour cause now I have irregular…

Hi girls, I go in for my c-section tomorrow morning and suddenly nerves have hit🫣 I would love if you guys could tell me some positive stories!! Also what on earth did you wear to go to the hospital?? Do you wear underwear for a c-section?😅

I’ve recently started experiencing shoulder pain in my right arm but it’s more of a dull ache and it’s through the rest of the arm not particularly the shoulder and been feeling a little unwell with a headache and feeling sick and chest pain occasionally but not sure if it’s worth getting checked as everyone around ...

So I went for a private dating scan today and they said I am 1 week and 2 days earlier than my midwife’s edd. This means I am 9 + 4 rather than 10 +6. Should I be concerned

I'm 36 +2 and the growth scan just said baby is 3.7 kilos...has anyone had any similar experiences and not had a massive baby? 😅

Is it too early to start packing my hospital bag? Due mid May

I’m 35 + 6 and I’ve started getting an electric shock feeling at the bottom of my uterus especially when I stand up, has anyone else experienced this and do you know what it is? 😭

I’m 36+1 and baby is still breech 😢 she’s been breech the whole pregnancy so I highly doubt she will turn on her own, they’re going to offer me an ECV but I just have a gut feeling not to try turning her. Just feeling gutted about needing a C-Section, think I’m just being a drama queen and sounds daft but just…
