I’m 37 weeks, still no sign of my mucus plug but I’m soo fed up this past week. Just want my baby here & to feel back to myself. I’m exhausted, still at work, and in all honestly I’ve sailed through this whole pregnancy but I’m feeling so tight and uncomfortable I can’t even get up off the couch without my partner h...

Hi! I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant and I don’t think I’ve felt the baby move yet. I’ve got a posterior placenta. The only movements I’ve had is almost like a jabbing pain? Which moves above every couple of hours? The only way to describe it is someone jabbing the inside of me with a small pen or something? Anyon...

Officially hit 30 weeks! Let the countdown begin!! Can’t believe we are here already!!

So in January I had a period that lasted a day (normally I'm anywhere between 4-7 days as I have PCOS) so when I've put in my last period I've used that day which makes me nearly 6 weeks pregnant. However... am I further along? I've booked a private scan for 2 weeks which would make me 8 weeks hypothetically but s...

I’m really excited and nervous to know what my baby would look like (my family has only had Mexican babies). I don’t know if nervous is the right word but I’m just wondering if anyone here has a mixed baby of Mexican and a white baby. 😊 we both have done ancestry.com, I am 88% indigenous and he is 90% Irish!

Hey everyone! I have my first consultant appointment tomorrow, I have endometriosis and am 22+3 weeks, feel like I’m going in completely blind! Does anyone have any experience or advice on what to expect? Thank you so much in advance 🥰

I am so grateful for a healthy baby❤️ But l can hardly stop myself from crying, we've just been to our 4 d scan, and we saw nothing but baby's back, he just wouldn't move. We are goinf back next week, but honestly don't want to and dreading it so much, because l have a feeling we will have no luck again

Do I need to take nappies and milk for when baby’s born or will the hospital provide? Just trying to make sure I’ve enough room (giving birth near Edinburgh)

My boobs are feeling less sore (still slightly sensitive when I touch them) and I know that’s probably silly, but after having recurring miscarriages I can’t help but worry.. I’m 10 weeks and still have all other symptoms (Bad nausea, fatigue, headache, cramps & back ache) Am I overthinking the loss of this one sy...

We are going to find out at our next scan anyway, but I’m intrigued to see what people think! Girl or boy? 🙈

Hey guys! I went in at 6 weeks for a lil bleeding and got an ultrasound and she said everything looked okay but now that I’m looking at the pictures it’s just an empty sac. I’m 8 weeks and have an appointment tomorrow and so scared I’m going to get awful news. Can someone reassure me?

do/did you experience food cravings while bf? at the minute i’m obsessed with boiled eggs (i didn’t even like eggs until i was pregnant and one day started craving them) it’s so random and wanted to see if anyone else had cravings while breastfeeding 😂🙈

Have your periods gone back to normal since having LO? 15 months on and on my heavy days I'm REALLY heavy (tampons are a waste of time), I'm spotting around ovulation which I never used too and sometimes even actually bleeding. The only thing that is normal is I'm regular and they're lasting the same amount of time ...

I seriously can’t believe my boy is 2 months old today 🥰 12/24/24 let’s see his birthday twins!

After a lot of back and forth with myself I have finally decided I’m going to have an elective c section. My labour with my first born was quite traumatic. I’m just wondering those who have chosen an elect c section have you already had dates through? If so at how many weeks are you booked in for the section? I have...

Hi everyone! First time boy mom due in May. I think we have 2 names for baby boy but my husband and I are struggling with spelling. We like Kyson (kai-son) as a first name. I spell it Kyson my husband spells it Kaison. For middles names it would either be Kyson Scott or Kyson Asher. Which name and spelling soun...

I am feeling absolutely exhausteddddd. It’s like first trimester exhaustion and I’m 31 + 4 today. Anyone else experiencing this? I feel like I need 4 naps a day now for the past week. 😴😴😴😴

I’m due tomorrow and waiting for the hospital to call me for my induction. When you have your induction when did you give birth?
