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’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!

Grossest name but we all have one 😂 Needing some advice / experiences from mums who already have a little one.

I live with both MIL and FIL. MIL doesn't call her husband "babe," but babies and calls her son (my boyfriend) "babe" all the time. It makes me uncomfortable because it was our thing, but now it's ruined the pet name for me. I'm not sure if I'm being insecure or weird about it....
