Gave birth to my di/di boys on Jan 9th and we 3 were home after the 24 hrs check on 10th. They were 37 weeks 4days and were to be induced in the next few days but got natural contractions. Couldn't have asked for a smoother delivery. Both were healthy weighing 5lbs 48oz and 6lbs 29oz with no NICU time at all. I ha...

I keep waking up approx 4am every other night feeling sick and stomach rumbling! Having to get up to have food but then can’t get back to sleep! Anyone else?

Has anybody had bad cramping pain in the stomach and bikini line area since giving birth? Via csection.. they have been constant nonstop!

Is this a boy or girl? Been told by the sonographer it’s 40% chance it’s a boy as she could see a tiny penis sticking out im 15.5 weeks pregnant? Different symptoms then when I had my girl last year 💙💖

Is having very few symptoms problematic? I’m 4w3d ish and don’t really have too many. Sore boobs(not bad like with my first) and a little nausea.

Having prodromal contractions for almost 10 hours, 4/5 mins apart. I'm exhausted. Went to hospital, not dilated at all at 4pm today, told me to come back when they are 2 mins apart. Any one experienced this? Do they end before actual labour?

is anyone else unable to sleep at night due to heartburn. i genuinely feel like im suffocating as soon as i lie down to try sleep, and get nauseous instantly… im not sleeping at all and its driving me crazy! i can not do another 4 weeks of this…

So I'm 35 weeks with my first. I've been in the hospital for almost 4 days now in early labor. I decided to come in because I was cramping really bad and they found out I was already 3cm dilated. They are giving me medication to slow down contractions. Last night I was dilated to a 4 with my water bulging and the nu...

i like names that flow like ayla, zara, nala

My baby turned one year old, I recently became a single mother, a year ago I didn't think I would celebrate her first birthday like this, but I'm happy with my little girl. Rabbit theme because she was born in the year of the rabbit 🐰💜

I’m completely worried about my little boy his umbilical cord fell off and he’s only 6 days old Now I need some advice I think it looks infected I’m thinking do we get him straight to urgent care or would it require more the midwifes to look at it as I’m really worried

Hello! I’m 22 weeks and I have the worst PGP…I sleep on my side and use a pillow between my knees. But with a toddler this pregnancy has involved many trips up and down stairs, sitting on the floor to play, and just being up and walking way more than with my first. I ended up in tears tonight due to the pain. Look...

Sorry if this is TMI. I'm only 15 weeks. I thought this would be more of a 3rd trimester issue? Honestly, it never happened in my 1st pregnancy. But now, at only 15 weeks, if I cough hard or do a big sneeze, I pee a little in my pants. Is anyone else having this issue already? Please tell me I'm not alone.

For the past 2 days I’ve been having cramps in my lower belly. Every 15 min roughly. Idk if it’s gas, poop cramps, or contractions. I feel like I have to go (lots of pressure) but when I do it doesn’t ease the cramping. I’m 35+4 so it’s still a little early. Nothing helps the cramping. Not heating pads, ice, walking...
