Hi, any ladies who have delivered on the Swan ward at Warwick hospital - could you please let me know if your partner was allowed to stay with you overnight. I looked online I saw they have to leave after 9pm but just wanted to check as realistically I want him to stay🙏💕

I've just found out I'm pregnant after missing my period but having cramps in lower belly and above belly button.. is this normal? Or could this be uti as I also have burning sensation when I wee (sometimes)

My midwife and I have discussed inducing me at 38 weeks due to not wanting me to go to 40 weeks , what are people’s experiences? This is my first baby so I have nothing to compare pain to but I just want to hear some people’s experiences? I am receiving 2 membrane sweeps between 37-38 weeks to try and bring labour ...

First pregnancy - I've been feeling strong movements since 20 weeks, I'm now 26. The last day or so I've still felt movement but no longer across my stomach in line with my belly button. At both scans they've been sideways facing my back. The movement right now feels like I'm being kicked in the ass 🤣 very tender…

Being induced on Monday and not sure what snacks to pack

With my first I lost my mucus plug 5 days before he was born - I know losing it doesn’t indicate any specific timeline but when you combine this with the intense painful lightning crotch, constant Braxton hicks, on/off cramping, 2.5cm dilated at my appt last week, kinda makes me think something’s happening in the ne...

Hello all. I think my 12 week old is showing the first signs of wanting to roll over but I'm not too sure. Recently when they're on their back. Their body from the neck down has started to twist to the side. There are times when it looks like they might actually roll over but their head is still too heavy and not...
