Would be great if it incorporates my name somehow(?) Just getting started but honestly, I believe this may be my calling and my bread n butter for some years to come.

How long from being induced to when you went into labour as a first time mum? My induction will be booked on Christmas week when I am 38 weeks, and I reeeeeeally don’t want my baby arriving on Christmas Day!! I’ve obviously googled it and it says it can take up to 5 days! Is it as bad as I’ve read?

Anyone not immediately bounce back after a c-section? I see all these posts of people saying they had no issues afterwards and I’m a week post op now and still in so much pain… it’s still hard to walk around, especially initially… getting in and out of bed all night long to care for baby is so hard and painful… I’m ...

Those of you who had C-sections for your October 22 baby, does the area still hurt? Shooting pains when you sneeze or tugging pains when rolling over in bed kinda thing? Also if I spend a full day walking around or cleaning etc I feel very tender in that area for a while. Planning on trying for baby number 2 next y...

Help.. so my baby’s getting little pumps around her eyes and her month, I’m not sure if its from her daddy kissing her all the time or if she’s allergic to anything.. anyone else’s having this problem?

Did anyone have to correct their baby’s birth certificate? How long did it take to get the corrected one?

Alright, this has probably been asked before but I do need some help. I have NO IDEA what to pack for my hospital bag. Baby Girl has her bag ready and it’s been ready for months. But for Dad and Mom, no clue. Any and all suggestions and recommendations are welcomed. Expected due date is January 4th but I have a sne...

I had a c section in July that went perfectly no issues at all and I was out the next day however a couple weeks after having her I started getting really bad back pain in my lower back and hips during the night and it’s keeping me up every night. It doesn’t seem to matter what position I go into it constantly hurts...

They believe baby is just constitutionally small (which just means she’s a small baby) have a growth scan at 28 weeks. Has anyone been through this before or going through it? Picture in comments of her measurements vs what they should be. She isn’t majorly on the smaller side, but they said she is below the 10th ...

So I’ve had my bump measured twice now and this is the graph. My midwife hasn’t said anything about it but surely being outside of the lines is a worry? Should I ask about it? Anyone else’s look like this?

I'm 25 weeks and when loading the dishwasher my back and top of bump really hurts. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips on easing the pain? Thanks

Any tips on naturally inducing, what worked for you?

Woken up with the most INTENSE period like cramps all down below between my hips/pelvic it’s a dull sharp period like pain feels like contractions that kind of level! No blood so worried 😢😢

I’ve had several negative experiences at my OB office and today was sort of the last straw and I officially want to switch. I called the clinic I’d like to switch to and they do accept late pregnancies (yay!) My only question (that the lady didn’t know the answer to) is, we’ve already paid in full the first OBs fe...

I had a growth growth ultrasound on Monday. Everything looks great, but every growth ultrasound I've had they say she is under weight. I was 31w and 5d her weight was 3lbs and 12ozs. The Dr said she was coming at 30w and 6d. Should I be worried? My first was a big baby (9lbs and 12ozs) so I just worry.

I've got period pains and bad back I'm 37 weeks is this normal should I be worried

Baby was measuring 10lbs on Tuesday and I'm being induced on Friday. What size sleep suits and nappies should I pack. I know they say give or take 10% each way but I think she's still going to be a big baby

I am almost 3 weeks PP and my bleeding pretty much stopped about a week ago, it was very light spotting but it’s picked back up again now and is almost brown? Is this normal?

I already have a daughter called Mabel. We’re expecting another girl and we like older names. Any suggestions?

This is my time getting pregnant. Do we need to give the written birth plan to the midwife? I am going to have my 28th week appointment coming saturday. How does that work telling the birthplan to midwife?
