I’m 16 weeks and have had very light spotting today. Has anyone else had this? Trying not to worry! I had a small Subchorionic hematoma in first trimester but at the 12 week scan it seemed to have gone away.

Hey girls, I had a miscarriage in September and I’ve just found out I’m pregnant again… I’ve just done a digital test which says 1-2 weeks so very very early, I took a test as I was late for my period and it says 1-2 weeks pregnant. There’s no way that it could be showing as postive because of the miscarriage stil...

Hello all Just out of curiosity, has this happened to anyone else before. Every time I go for a walk down to the shops or to my mums. By the end of the day, I am in extreme pain in my pelvis, grone, lower abs, and lower back area. I find where it's hard to pick my baby up or even get out of bed. I went to the...

If you had a small wedding, were you worried about offending family that you chose not to invite? ( Only inviting 50 ppl including the wedding party)

Does anyone else just feel massively overwhelmed! I feel like by the time I’ve been to work, cleaned the house and done all the bits I have to get done it’s time for me to go to sleep and do it all again. The other mums I speak to all seem to enjoy their evenings? I don’t seem to have any time! When I go out with fr...

Does this look close to becoming a dye stealer? I feel like it’s super strong - 15DPO🥹🤞🏼✨🌈

So I am booked in to have a c section in 2 days and I am so scared and nervous. I'm really squeamish and hate hospitals. Does anyone have any words of encouragement or tips to calm the nerves?

Original due date was December but this little girl decided to break my water at 36 weeks and I ended up having to be induced the next evening (definitely don’t recommend getting Pitocin if not necessary 😂). She’s already gained over her birth weight and hasn’t let being so early slow her down one bit. Any…

I’m 19 weeks pregnant and today when I went to the toilet there was blood - after a slight panic I realised it was from my bum. Is there anything I can take to stop this?

My LO has a very stuffy nose and chesty cough. I worry he is not breathing properly. I’ve tried to give saline drops and to suction mucus from his nose, but he is absolutely not having it. He is not a fussy baby but for some reason anytime I approach his nose with a tissue, drops or suction tool he gets extremely up...

Did anyone feel their baby on the outside move at 18 weeks I’m sure I just felt baby move on the outside of my stomach ❤️

Hi everyone I’m a FTM I had my baby girl on 11/7/2024. Labor was very traumatic. I labored for 29 painful hours, with a failed epidural,begged for another epidural and it worked the second time. Baby girl dilated me up to 9.5 cm then decided she didn’t want to come out so ultimately ended up with a c-section. The c-...

Finally finished my little girls bedroom, still a few finishing touches to do but I’m so happy with how it’s turned out. It’s been a labour of love.

I had my growth scan today and baby is on the 3rd centile. Is anyone else in the same boat I am so worried.

Got my c section date today, Xmas eve 😂. Fingers crossed I get out on Xmas day later in afternoon.

Does anyone still have a protruding stomach more the top half of stomach which protrudes outwards after their c section 17months ago? I sometimes also get stomach spasms if I do strenuous activity using my core or if I stretch too much. Any one else?

Anyone else really struggling with work? I’m in the office 4 days a week (hour and a half drive each way commute) and really struggled today. Felt nauseous the whole journey and then exhausted all day and just felt like I needed to lay down. First pregnancy and haven’t told my work yet. What are other people doing t...
