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

So I had little guy on October 29th and I had to get cut to get his big head out (it was 14 inches) , hiw long before I can wipe again ? I wasn't told and wasn't told when my appointment had to be made just that in 6 weeks , so I'm wondering I can wipe again cuase my brain keeps telling me after peeing to get toile...

Why do I feel so guilty about being so tired. Usually so productive, up and about, but I genuinely have nothing left. Ive managed a shower today and back in bed already 😩 anyone else feeling like this? Wish it didn’t make me feel guilty

I’m 8 weeks and been having cramps/achy pains several times over the past few days! Anyone else had this?

Had my bump measured today and she said I’m plotting on the 97th centile but I don’t understand what this means can anyone explain? She said baby’s growth is fine but I’m measuring above the line where I should be

Hi guys. I’m 18 weeks on Friday and feeling no movement. I have an anterior placenta so am aware i wont feel strong kicks for ages. I felt bubbles at 16 weeks but now I dont feel anything. Is this normal?

Is anyone else having dreams where people are trying to kidnap you and take your baby 😩 this is my 3rd one this week its horrible😩

feeling quite sad as i’m 15w4d and don’t have an obvious bump still due to being bigger 😢

Has anyone had their little one waking up in the night complaining about leg or arm pain? Having it a lot at the moment. I’ve had a google and think it’s actually growing pains, apparently can happen age 3-12 (so maybe starting slightly early). Seems to be sorted with Calpol, but just wondering if anyone else has ex...

Anyone had this? Baby is smaller side (7%) overall same as my last pregnancy but head at the 20 week scan was at the 2%. Baby was breech and moving around a lot but I think she was quite confident with measurement. Awaiting referral for a more in depth scan but very nervous.

My LO is now 2 centile lines lower than he was a few months ago (from 60th to 40th) and he’s nearly 6 months old. His other centile lines are around 80th. Should I be worried? I’m waiting to hear back from my health visiting team.

Last Wednesday I was 2-3 weeks on clear blue. The hospital said my appt wouldn’t be until mid December. My period was due 2 days ago so I had a little bit of blood in my discharge…. Is all of this normal?? Please help. Anxious

I’m EBF and I’ll eat 3 times a day but I get hungry so quickly after eating and can’t stay full. Really annoying because I’ll pick up junk to snack on for the convenience. Anyone else in a similar position? Any tips on easy snacks?

My baby has blocked tear ducts and now one of his eyes has gone a bit sore and was wondering if there’s any suggestions on how to help? I massage the corners of his eyes and clean them with sterilised water but they don’t seem to be clearing up and now one of his eyes is very red on the lid and outer corner

I have had a letter for my 20 week scan on the 4th of December and a letter for the 5th of December to see a consultant. I’m just wondering if this is normal to see a consultant as I thought they only did that if something was wrong with baby. This is my first pregnancy and at my 12 week scan I was told everythin...
