I’m 14 weeks this is my second pregnancy and I was wondering when I should be able to see my bump. I have seen so many people with big bumps at 14 weeks and it’s their second pregnancy making me panic and a little upset. Any help would be amazing. Feeling like a failure 😞

I discovered after giving birth to my first that I suddenly became more sensitive/prone to motion sickness, which I did not get (at least not to the same severe degree) before. I figured things would go back to normal once those postpartum hormones were out of my system, but it never got better. In fact, things hav...

Would anyone mind sharing names they like or names they’ve heard recently that they thought were nice (boys or girls!) we’re really struggling!

Has anybody had kidney stones during pregnancy and if so did they flare up or cause any complications to the pregnancy. I got 2 months diagnosed after only what I can decrease be as worse pain than giving birth.They wasn't treated I was just sent away with pain medication which I can now not use if I have a episode...

Trying to work out the possibility of my mum bringing in my son to see me/meet baby after my c section. I have an afternoon booking (have to be there for 12:30) what’s the likelihood of being able to have them come in before visiting hours are over at 8pm?!

I’ve done so well to only have 1 reassurance scan at 7 weeks. I’d had 3 by now In my last pregnancy. I’m not much of an anxious person but my anxiety is THROUGH THE ROOF like nothing I’ve ever felt before when Im pregnant. Luckily only one week to wait until my 12 week scan ❤️ who wants a bet this week will DRAG lik...

Hi Mums, 13 months PP. It’s been 2 months since I have returned to work. I feel so distracted, I lack focus and feel my memory has deteriorated and this is affecting my confidence. I was not like this before maternity leave. Love to hear your story as how you managed to bounce back? Or anybody in the same boat?

Hi, can anyone see a nub in this? Will post 2 more pictures in comments, all from the same scan at exactly 12 weeks!🩵💗

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on what hospital I should give birth in. I am currently 25 weeks pregnant and am due in July. I am booked in with Royal Berkshire hospital but I have frimley park hospital the same distance away. I was wondering if anyone had experience with either hospital whether ...

Anyone else really struggling with pelvic pain? 😢 (23 weeks pregnant)

Hey! What are your symptoms at 10-12 weeks? I’m trying to work out if I’m this many weeks as I think I had spotting instead of a period and I’m this far along rather than 5 weeks!

Just wondering if anyone else in work is really struggling with a 3pm slump in energy. I am literally falling asleep at my desk :( anyone else do this? And does anyone have any solutions to ease the tiredness?? 34 weeks pregnant and 3 weeks left until maternity leave!!

How long did it take for you to get the results back!?

So I’m probably going to be getting induced tomorrow at Darenth Valley hospital! Any tips, advice? I’m so scared 😭😭😭

I was told at my 28 week appointment that my midwife’s thinks I should be on the growth scan pathway, they’ve booked me in for a scan at 34 weeks (currently 29 weeks) however, that means that I’ve had no measurements for the baby at any of my appointments since my 20 weeks scan, is that normal?

Hi! so in short i’m preggy so i’ve collected a ton of colostrum and my 5 year old woke up a a cough and cold. i want to give her some of what i collected because i have plenty but idk how much i should give her? anyone have any ideas? suggestions? i have some of the 1ml syringes, 5 ml, and then i’ve collected 1-3...

I've taken 3 packs (18 feeds) in my hospital bag. I'm due to have a c section at 38+1 and unsure how many I'll actually need to take. I'm expecting to be in hospital for 3 days. I can't rely on the hospital to top me up with feeds as I'll be using kendamil and I don't think they stock that brand.

Hi mums just been to my 35 week scan and my baby is weighing 7 pound and in the 97th percentile did anyone go to 40 weeks or did you come early and was you offered to be induced.

Has anyone got a hairy bump? 😂 Starting to feel like a guy when they have their beer belly out
