Had a sweep yesterday morning and was told I’m 3cm. All day I felt shaky and cold, and I feel I can’t calm my body down. All the breathing in the world isn’t stopping the heartbeat skips and rush of nerves here and there. I’ve had diarrhoea episodes twice overnight but nothing is happening that I know of. I’m scared...

I cannot sleep anymore, I get an hour maybe and then wake up crying from back pain or rib pain. It’s agony. It’s been like this for the past few days and I am exhausted. I can’t cope anymore. I don’t know how I’m supposed to deal with this for another 11 weeks.

I’m 40+4 and I’ve been having what I think are contractions about 30 minutes apart all day. Most of them just feel like intense period cramps, especially in my lower back. I’m not feeling it as much in my cervix or belly as I thought I should…

I've just hit 37 weeks but seem to be waking up every night with horrendous heartburn/reflux around 01:30 that makes me want to vomit. Rennie's aren't touching it. Doesn't seem to matter how little I've had for my dinner or really what time I've eaten. Propping myself up helps a little bit but it still comes in wave...

This is my second baby. I’m in my 9th week and already have a baby bump. Honestly didn’t think it will come so soon 🙄 I thought I will hide my bump/pregnancy news from my friends until 13th week but doesn’t look like I can now. Did anyone else too started showing early?

OK ladies, I can’t be the only one lol Does anyone else still struggle doing anything? I am 15 weeks and three days and I am still struggling with nausea and acid reflux.
