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?

6 weeks pregnant, just been toilet have some blood when i wipe and light cramps??🫣🫣😭😭 what does this mean?

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...

So I went for an early scan yesterday, when I believed I was 8w2d, and was told that they couldn’t find a heartbeat. They also said I was 6w1d. They suggested I go back in 2 weeks to get scanned again as it was inconclusive. I’ve had no symptoms of a miscarriage and thought everything was okay prior to the scan bu...

Anyone else have like insane pain on their actual hole lately? It’s not just “lightning crotch”, it is so much worse. Earlier it went on for like 10 minutes straight and the pain was so bad I couldn’t move. It will legit feel like baby’s trying to push her head out.

Narrowed it down to 2 names but undecided...

The nausea and sickness has hit properly today 5+6. I struggled so bad for the first 16 weeks with my first and i am soo terrified of this happening again i honestly don’t know if i’ll cope💔 Any words of encouragement or advice is appreciated

Hi all, I’ve been experiencing severe pains on my right side and it gets so bad that I am unable to move my right leg when this happens. It’s been going on for the past 4 days I’d say. I did research that it could be ‘growing pains’ but this just feels unbareable. I can’t even get up out my seat or bed. It’s a shar...

I'm 30 weeks, for the last week I've been having constant pain in my pelvis. It's been manageable but this morning I literally can hardly walk. I found out at my growth scan a few days ago that baby's breech and is currently folded in half with his bum in my pelvis. I'm not worried about the position as he's still g...

Trigger Warning - previous miscarriages I’m happy to be newly pregnant (due July 28th). I’m having a hard time taking it day by day. I have 3 living kids and in the last 4 months has 2 losses. I wish I could just relax and be happy. I’m counting down the days until I can have a heartbeat ultrasound.

Hey girls I’m currently 12+2 and since yesterday tea time I’ve had really bad lower abdominal pain, the pain has been moving around different areas so I’ve had it in my back, the right side of my stomach, the top of my stomach. Has anyone else experienced this? It’s a mixture of bellyache, cramps and pains. My partn...

We’ve not had one full nights sleep in the last 14months….anyone else?

Someone please tell me I’m being silly, can any of my what they call “plus size” ladies who are expecting tell me how they’re 4d scan went if they did one? I’m so scared because my BMI is “high” that they won’t be able to see good pictures of the bubba🥲🥲

I’m currently 20w6d and I first started feeling the baby roughly a couple of weeks ago. Over the last week I’ve been feeling the baby mainly at night when I lay down in bed and early in the morning but had very little movement last night and this morning so very worried! I called triage and they said that there is u...

Grossest name but we all have one 😂 Needing some advice / experiences from mums who already have a little one. Last night I lost part of my plug, I’m 33 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 - I got pregnant just as my first turned one so my body didn’t get change to get ‘back to normal’. With my first I lost my…
