Family members have assumed that they will be in the hospital waiting outside for the arrival of my baby, however I don’t want any visitors in hospital. I just want my partner there and the aim would be to leave the hospital as soon as possible (as soon as it is safe for me to do so) Has anyone else been in this si...

So this is my last baby and I’m going to get my tubes removed during my section, how do I tell everyone that expects to come straight to the hospital that I’m not accepting visitors?!

Did anybody experience this? I’ve been bleeding non stop since the beginning of my period and I’ve also found out that I’m pregnant. I’m not getting any help and the only advice is to wait for the bleeding to stop and take another test. I’m bleeding even more now. It’s frustrating as I’m sure I’m having a miscarriag...

My baby turned 5 weeks yesterday and hasn’t smiled properly yet. I can’t wait to see him smile at me! How old was your little one when they first started properly smiling?

Everyone says it’s important but I’m struggling to drink plain water and nearly every electrolyte mix I’ve tried makes me nauseous. Help! Need low to no sugar options and/or advice on how to drink enough when you’re nauseous all the time 🤢

Mamas, I need your advice! ✈️🤰 I’m flying to Paris with EasyJet on April 30th, and while they don’t officially require a fit-to-fly letter, my midwife recommended I have one just in case. Of course, GPs won’t provide them unless I go private (£££), and I’d rather not risk any issues at the airport! I’ll be 26…

She was rolling front to back but has even stopped doing that now and still isn’t pushing up on her arms in tummy time, I have to put them underneath her myself. When should I get...
