Hey! Happy Saturday 👋🏻 I have my gender scan tomorrow what do you think it may be 💗💙

So I know this group is for mamas in their 30's. I'm 29 (30 in 3ish months) and want to do something special for myself. The only thing is, I have absolutely no clue what to do other than maybe a photoshoot. Please help! I've never really done anything for my special day other than eat with family. I can't and won't...

Currently 28 weeks with my second. Am feeling much more unorganised this time round, I'd already done the nursery and washed all the clothes by now in my first pregnancy. I still have the next2me, pushchair, play mat, bouncer but they're stored at our house and some at my mums. I have done nothing! I've not ev...

Anyone else really constipated? My butt is literally bleeding when I wipe from straining. It's uncomfortable. I'm 12 weeks 2 days today. Any advice I truly appreciate.

I’m 39 + 1 and in the night had an awful leg cramp in my calf. I’ve just woken up and I can barely walk, I’m shuffling around. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be/how to make it better? Never experienced one so severe before with my first child. Thank you

If you had a c -section when did you start belly binding, waist training or wearing your faja

Does anyone know when our toddlers can be expected to learn to blow their own nose? My son will wipe his own nose now (mostly smears snot across his face 🤦), but doesn’t understand the concept of blowing his nose.

My last appointment was at 2 weeks and they don’t have us scheduled until 2 months Is the common?

I went out to eat tonight and forgot to say well done for my burger and it had the slightest pink in it. Like Medium well (noticed after I was eating it.) Should I be worried or concerned? Im 5 weeks pregnant. Is it only a concern if you get food poisoning from it?

Our daughter’s name is Aubrielle (we call her Aubrey) and looking for a boy name that goes cute with it!

I’m 28 weeks pregnant and I just feel like my bump is so much smaller than everyone elses it is my first baby and she is measuring perfectly but I just don’t look as big as other women which makes me sad in a way anyone else having the same problem

It’s hard to tell in the pic but can anyone else see a faint line if you look close enough?

Thoughts on Ferris for a boy? Likely Ferris James if it got used. Aware of the Bueller association and Ferris wheels but still like the name. Does it sound too try-hard?

I was recently talking about my 6 week GP check and the other person was surprised that my GP didn't check my C'section scar or feel to make sure that my uterus had shrunk back down. Are these things that should have been done?

Did anyone on here experience a forcep delivery too?? I feel like the 1% that has sometimes n when most people talk about alternative deliveries it’s usually c section

Had my baby 6 weeks ago, whole scar has healed apart from one side where there is still a stitch? Is this normal? They were dissolvable stitches used, all have dissolved apart from one

I’m 23+4 and my back pain is unbearable at times 😭 especially going from sitting to standing and vice versa, also hurts a lot if I’ve been standing for ‘too long’ like just cooking dinner or doing the grocery shopping. I don’t want to take painkillers, mainly because I don’t think they’ll help I’ve tried a bath…

Why would the hospital induce you for???

I’ve just been diagnosed with GD at 34 weeks. I dreaded having to go through it again as I had it with my first but I passed the first gluecose test early in this pregnancy. I’ve been advised to change my diet and lifestyle but it doesn’t seem to be working and the doctor really scared me with all the risks of havi...

Don’t know how everyone’s finding their postnatal recovery still but I feel like for me it has gotten worse. I had the epidural and at first the back pain wasn’t that bad but it’s gotten to the point I can’t walk my dog, have my baby in s carrier and I can’t sit in certain positions anymore because I have pain and i...
