I had an iron infusion on Wednesday last week but I don’t feel any different. Still feeling pretty sick/weak and dizzy everyday. I was told that I should feel better within a few days. Has anyone else had it and not noticed a difference?

Just shy of 5 weeks pp and past two days have had very thick jelly discharge, similar to what a mucus plug looks like. Is this normal? Yesterday the first bit was pink tinged but after that it’s been clear/egg white. No smell either.

Hey guys I’ve got my gender scan later I’m 18 weeks today. Should I have a full bladder for this? X

We shared the name Hayden for our little boy but we’ve received nothing but negative comments. Lots of people saying it’s chavy and naughty boy name! Any thoughts? Please be honest!

Has anyone introduced two meals a day yet?

Any guesses on gender?? 12 week scan at exactly 12 weeks 🩵🩷

Just went for a wee, I stopped as I thought I heard something then carried on but during that last 2 seconds I felt a really weird sensation and more liquid come out. Now I'm not sure if baby just put pressure on my bladder at the same time so it felt weird and peed a bit more or if my waters went. I'm currently lyi...

I really wanted to avo...

Ladies am I just seeing a very faint line I wish to see or can anyone else see it? We’ve been TTC for 3 years since having our first!

So today I found out I’m pregnant again after suffering a miscarriage, middle last month. Obviously feeling overjoyed and blessed but also anxious as well! I’m 2 weeks post ovulation today and didn’t have a period between the miscarriage and getting pregnant so it may be a little tricky with dates but have it narro...

Is anyone else suffering from HG? I had terrible sickness in my first pregnancy but this is so much worse, I’m on anti sickness medication (yet to find a combination that works) and am loosing around 3/4lbs a week. Not moving is the only thing that helps and I’ve been signed off work for an initial two weeks but th...

I’m 39 weeks today and have been having lots of pelvic pain in the front for the past 2-3 days. Doesn’t feel like baby has dropped but could this be a sign she’s starting to?

For (will be) 16 month old boy please 🙏🏼

I’m almost 35 weeks and the pressure down there is unreal. Yesterday I noticed my vagina felt weird and got my partner to feel and look too and it’s definitely swollen. Anyone else the same
