Has anyone ever dealt with a difficult incision? I’m 14 weeks PP and I have been treated three times for infection (swabbed incision for cultures and given the right antibiotic for it). But my skin/flab hangs over and it never seems to heal. I’m sick of taking antibiotics and I’m sick of it being red and oozy. We cl...

I cannot sleep anymore, I get an hour maybe and then wake up crying from back pain or rib pain. It’s agony. It’s been like this for the past few days and I am exhausted. I can’t cope anymore. I don’t know how I’m supposed to deal with this for another 11 weeks.

I’m 40+4 and I’ve been having what I think are contractions about 30 minutes apart all day. Most of them just feel like intense period cramps, especially in my lower back. I’m not feeling it as much in my cervix or belly as I thought I should…

Hellooo I have a question about medical history/ transactions. I have a family dr i dont always feel comfortable with since he barely listens so with a suggestion of a friend i went to her sisters clinic.

I've just hit 37 weeks but seem to be waking up every night with horrendous heartburn/reflux around 01:30 that makes me want to vomit. Rennie's aren't touching it. Doesn't seem to matter how little I've had for my dinner or really what time I've eaten. Propping myself up helps a little bit but it still comes in wave...

This is my second baby. I’m in my 9th week and already have a baby bump. Honestly didn’t think it will come so soon 🙄 I thought I will hide my bump/pregnancy news from my friends until 13th week but doesn’t look like I can now. Did anyone else too started showing early?

OK ladies, I can’t be the only one lol Does anyone else still struggle doing anything? I am 15 weeks and three days and I am still struggling with nausea and acid reflux. This is my third child so I’m not new to this and I am always sick with them, but it sucks soooo bad. I see people on social media and they’re eat...

I had my 2nd csection this morning and I feel so much better than I did with my first one. I felt like I was meant to die during my first one. I lost a lot of blood and looked horrible after. This time around I feel so much better and don’t feel so deathly. It’s crazy how much different this c-section was. I’m hop...

I have always measured slightly big on the fundal height chart, does this mean there is a chance baby mayyyyy make an appearance before his due date? I am so done with being pregnant 🤣🙃
