So the doctor told me my baby is measuring small (by 3days) has this happened to anyone ?

Has anyone experienced waters breaking in the bath? Im 39+1 and i’ve had some back ache tonight so I had a lay down in the bath and my baby was wriggling around quite a lot as she has been very active tonight, which made me feel like I needed a wee and I feel like I was trying to stop it but felt like liquid was com...

Hey all, I am due to have my baby in a few months at st Michael’s hospital! I’ve heard mixed things about it here but could I please have any of your positive birth stories or positive things about st Michael’s? Thank you ☺️

I feel so guilty because I get home exhausted from my day and I feel like my child only has crumbs of myself. I've tried to spend less energy at work and conserve for at home, but I can't find a balance. I'm always exhausted when I get home. I feel so guilty :(

I’m thinking of having another elective section with my second baby, my first will be 22 months at the time and I have no idea how I’d handle recovery with a toddler😅 after 2 weeks or so I was starting to feel better but this time round is a different game as my little one is very affectionate and I know she’d want…

Hi everyone! I’m supposed to be 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant with my 3rd baby. On the 15th, I found out that morning I was pregnant. Around 6:30PM, I started bleeding. I called my OBGYN on the 16th and went in for an ultrasound and bloodwork. They could not see any baby on the ultrasound and my bloodwork showed my HC...

Been in latent phase for over a week now, had 2 sweeps and the progress is so slow!! One day in absolute agony and the next mild pains, losing my mucus plus nearly every day! Only 2cm dilated and cervix length is less than 1cm long (apparently I'm lucky as I should have an easy birth) but I feel so deflated and fed ...

With my first I craved fresh peaches all the way through the first trimester then kiwis (which I then ended up in hospital with an allergic reaction to them). I didn't really crave much at all. This time I've craving nut. Tree nuts to be super specific. I've been eating then since I found out I was pregnant. What ar...

Nearly 24 weeks and this week baby has been kicking like mad 🤣🤣 kicks are pretty low but my other half felt him kick the other day which was just incredible! He seems to love music, being spoken directly to at belly level and raspberries being blown on my belly 🤣 Anyone else feel baby kicking loads? I can’t get…

What are you planning for your LOs first birthday if you DON’T plan to have a big party? I think our families are expecting us to throw a big do for our baby, but I don’t have any desire to. I personally find it unnecessary, they’re 1 years old. a waste of money, energy. Maybe because I love intimate moments, my pri...

Is there any nicknames for Rhea? Only one I can think of is Riri

I would never ever hurt my baby and the thoughts make me feel like the worst person ... Googled them and apparently it's really common just embarrassing so noone talks about it. Sleep deprivation makes them come on for me
