I am 9 weeks pregnant tomorrow and have just had some brown discharge when I’ve gone to the toilet. Is this normal and should I be worried? I’ve messaged my midwife, just waiting on a reply💜

Morning ladies, I’m just wondering should I be concerned? I’ve started getting some horrible pelvic pain when walking or moving. I don’t know if I should be concerned or if it’ll ease off in a few days?

This is my second pregnancy, and I’m about 8w3d. Last night my tummy muscles started to ache like I’d done an abs workout, and I’m also starting to get what I think is round ligament pain either side of my pelvis when I lay on my sides. Has anyone else had sore tummy muscles? Mainly when I stand up and get on with...

Might be a bit late now as I’m 32 weeks. I didn’t even meet my midwife until the second appointment, the whole thing was done by a student without her in the room and that was the first and only time I was weighed. She’s forgotten to refer me to physio for my SPD (I’m in agony and can barely walk) dAnd just to top i...

Okay I know this isn’t a poll and I’m posting in a poll group but I see a lot of regular post and this group seems to give the most feedback. I am currently 10 weeks 2 days pregnant and I’ve been pretty nauseous the whole time. The last week it’s been a little better during the morning but at night I am still strug...

Anyone else just not sleep on their first night with baby in hospital I feel tired but so wide awake, can’t get comfy people coming in and out , noises on the ward and it’s so stuffy really hope I sleep once I get back home 😴

So weeks 6-9 I had constant nausea, no vomiting at all.. maybe once. I’m 12 weeks now and the constant nausea went away, but now I’m puking almost every night right before bed. Has this happened to anyone else? So strange that the vomiting is starting now.

Would you go to labor and delivery if you are having pelvic pain every 30 minutes or so and won't go away? I've been having some stomach tightness every 30 minutes or so too. I've been trying to wait until Friday at my appointment to bring it up to my doctor

How do people feel about Murray? I love Murphy, though my husband maintains it is a dog’s name. And we did nearly name a dog Murphy once… Murray is my maternal grandfather’s middle name (he says he doesn’t like it, though😅) and Ray is my dad’s middle name. I kind of like the idea of using Murray and being able…

I’m 37+4 and before I went to bed I was getting pain in my right side which I assumed was round ligament pain, along with the usual acid reflux. At 1am I woke up and took gaviscon then within about 10 minutes felt sick. I’ve since been sick 3 times, my bump feels tight and sore but I don’t think I’m getting contra...

Hey ladies! Just a random poll. How many of you are exercising regularly in your 2nd semester? I definitely feel like I started strong and let the tiredness take over. Personally I might be more tired now than during my 1st trimester.

Hey mamas, i am pregnant with our second baby boy due in July. My June baby ended up being an emergency c section. Now with this one I have the choice to try VBAC or schedule a c section. I would like to know others experiences with both and maybe why you chose that option.

Long story short, I had an emergency c-section and had no idea about aftercare and was never given any advice around looking after my scar either. I’m 18 months post c-section and my scar has turned into a keloid. Anyone had anything similar and know how to sort this out! I hate it so much and just want it gone😭
