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...

I’m 27 + 2 and my movements seem slower and more lazy this week compared to last. Last week there was constant movements all of the time, this week doesn’t seem so obvious and is almost like different feelings to kicking. what is everyone else’s movements? Just worried but it is moving so not sure

I’m feeling that urge to start trying again but still feel that I’m struggling to grieve our heaven side baby💔I have no one who can empathise with me and am finding it so hard as even though I wouldn’t wish this pain on my worst enemy, I need someone to tell me, I understand you and you’re valid! You naturally seek…

So I was trying to push my daughter out and my blood pressure shot up to 231 one I felt as if I was about pass out I was rushed into the OR I was literally in tears now I'm two weeks post recovery

Hi everyone I’m currently 11 weeks pregnant. And from yesterday I’m experiencing a bit of brown discharge. No cramping. Have you experienced this . I’m a bit concerned!

Guys I’m 13 weeks and 3 days now!! Had my first scan not long ago.. all this time I thought I was having a boy but now I think it might be a girl🥹 what do you guys think?

Had a scan at EPU today at 5+1 and they found baby in the right place, with a yolk sac, HCG 1,500 so pretty high. Everything looks how they’d expect. Hoping this calls my anxiety for a bit, still not feeling sick but I’m sure it will come.
