When did your babies start rolling? Mines 14 weeks and showing signs but still not doing it

Going for an elective c section with my second after a third degree tear with my first. Just wondering how you felt the whole process and surgery was if you have been through the same!

Hellooooo!! This is a bit of a weird one, I started feeling kicks although it is still early to have constant movements every hour or so I believe (I can feel the kicks at night mostly) however I can sometimes feel like there’s “air” moving in my belly although I think it could be baby movements ? I can kinda tell t...

I’m struggling with exhaustion between getting up to pee 3 times a night, struggling to find a comfortable sleep position and just being pregnant. I work from home but I frequently find myself just staring at the computer doing absolutely nothing because I’m so dang tired.

I posted a few weeks ago about whether I’d need an internal scan at my 12 week scan as a size 18/20 (UK) gal and had lots of responses reassuring me :) I had my exam yesterday and they managed to do an external scan with no issues! The sonographer didn’t even have to press very hard! Just wanted to say thank you to ...

Does your partner/spouse go to every doctor’s appointment with you?

Has anyone been for a 4D scan yet please and could tell me what it was like? All the information I'm reading everyone says different weeks are best so I'm getting a bit confused! I'm 27+2 now and also have an anterior placenta, have a growth scan when I'm 28+2 and I know they say not to have scans too close to each...

How close did they get baby’s weight with growth scans? I need growth scans with my current pregnancy as my daughter was 10lbs and we had complications with birth ect due to her weight, but I’m curious to how close the scans actually were with baby weight at birth if that’s making sense, my last scan said baby was ...

I find that my nausea happens roughly between 12-7pm each day but usually an hour after I eat for the first time that day, feels totally fine when I wake up and before breakfast. I get a bit of relief when I eat mid afternoon but then start feeling nauseous again after food has gone down an hour later. It also gets...

“Hey everyone! Just wondering, has anyone else been booked for a growth scan during their pregnancy? I’m curious if it’s routine for others or if there’s a specific reason for it. As I have been booked in for 38 and 40th week and I am 25+ week now.Feeling a mix of excited and a little nervous, but mostly just want t...

Hiya girls, I’m 33+4 weeks and today i feel like there’s a lot of pressure around my pelvic area and around the bottom of my back/bum. Is this normal? It’s even worse when I go for a wee😫 anyone else been experiencing this?

If you have experience of having a section booked but you went into labour early, what did you do? Did you have the c section or did you give birth naturally? I have one booked in 3 weeks time and I will be 39+3 I don’t know what I will do if I go into labour sooner than that as its my second baby 🤔

Part rant, part genuinely seeking advice. So I’ve moved down from Scotland to be with my partner. I’ve been here pretty much full time since July/Aug but kept my care and ultimately had my baby in Scotland because transferring care down here was complicated and frankly subpar (closest/best hospital isn’t linked to...

Does having group b affect my chances at a vbac?? I'm 17 weeks and just tested positive for it and now I have no idea how it'll affect anything. Currently waiting to hear back from my midwife, has anyone tetsed positive but still had a vbac? Dud it affect anything?

I'm 28 weeks this coming Tuesday and have had no appointment. I'm just wondering if everyone is meant to have one and Iv been missed or some people don't get given one.

Hi ladies ☺️ I have had low blood pressure my whole pregnancy, but recently I've been having more dizzy/ woozy/faint spells. I mentioned it to be midwife and she isn't worried about them, she just said because it's already low, when it drops even more I feel it and causes the symptoms! I try to eat every 2-3 hours...

Heyaa, so I'm looking for some opinions. Recently found out I'm pregnant with my second, for my first I gave birth at Queen Charlotte hospital ( unfortunately my experience wasn't the best) So I'm looking for another hospital not too far from West London where mummy's have had a better experience.. I was thinking m...

Does anyone else find there hunger peaks in the morning? Like I'm literally SOO hungry in the morning, i could eat a horse 😂 I wake up and have salted crackers or crisps for my naseau and then about 30 mins later I have a good breakfast of blueberries & porridge, but about an hour & a half later I'm super hungry…

Had propess inserted this morning and it was agony putting it in. Was absolutely awful. Been in for 2.5 hours now and I can't really pee with it in, I'm having to stand and lean forward to get any urine out and it hurts. Can't really sit down either as it's hurting me, walking is hurting me. Nobody went over anythin...

Go to a baby group for pregnant women and the midwife there did seem a bit worried with him not moving from me waking up to then coming to the group half an hour later. Is this normal or should I get it checked as I am now starting to worry that she may be right to have been worried
