Hey I’m 15 weeks pregnant and had this cramping pain on my right side all day today. Has anyone else experienced this before - this is my second pregnancy

Woke up this morning to wet underwear … went to the loo and definitely lost some Mucus plug and some more throughout the day. Tonight when getting ready for bed I took my pad/underwear off to shower and clear water ran down my legs … I wiped at the toilet and it didn’t seem like more plug and when I touched the area...

My baby is suddenly not head down, I got checked today cause I fell Thursday on my butt, baby is fine but he isn’t head down right now. Anyone experienced this? Does this lead to c section or do you think I will be fine?

I am 10+1 and had a scan at 8+3 and 6 weeks but am struggling to wait for my 12 week scan which will be at 12+5 for me. the wait from 8 to 12 week feels to long. Is it silly to have another scan over the next couple of days for reassurance or do you think this is to many and should just trust my body that everythin...

We are trying to get pregnant for the 2nd time.Yesterday we've had sex for the 1 st time after my period (it's my fertile window) and today I felt a dull ache in my back and sharper pain in my lower stomach.It reminded me of implementation pain (yeah I know it happens a week or two after). Could this be a sign that...

Got my cervix checked the other day and she told me I was like a fingertip dilated WTF. Does that mean is a fingertip like a centimeter or something?

How long are you waiting to have visitors after birth? I have said 2 weeks for anyone other than my mum and grandparents who I want at the birth and who live 20 mins away and been helping while pregnant. My husbands mum wants to come within the week. We haven’t had a great relationship in the past but she’s using m...

I'm currently pregnant with my second after having an emergency section for my first in May 2023. I can't decide whether to risk trying for a VBAC this time around, or book in for an elective section. With my first my waters broke and I laboured for roughly 36 hours, before ending up having a section due to an infec...

i have blood tests with the nhs in just over a week, i'm 9 weeks today and wondering if they can tell me if baby's doing alright or if it purely is just blood tests? i've had a private scan around 6 weeks which was very positive but after my MMC last year i'm just a bit anxious, does anyone know what happens at the ...

No judgement please - my baby will be almost 2 months old around the time of the renaissance festival in my town. We go every year, and I am trying to plan ahead if this is something we can make happen with baby. It’s usually in the 70s/80s. We usually get pretty sweaty and tired ourselves. Is this something I can...

For those that are saying your feeling movements how are they feeling , I keep thinking I can feel like a swishing feeling but then I’m like nah it’s gas, are you feeling actual kicks or punches ???

I had a section 3 weeks ago tomorrow and I’ve noticed a lump 2/4cm above it. I asked the midwife and she said it’s likely scar tissue but surely that would be behind my scar not above?

We did a lil have birthday celebration for miss Delilah 💓😭

Hi lovelies, I’m currently 5 weeks 3 days and feeling really on edge about this pregnancy and worried that I will MC… I have a beautiful daughter who is 3 and other than having hyperemesis, the pregnancy was perfect (for baby anyway!) all the way through. I have had some spotting and off, the odd occasion it is brig...

Any other mamas wfh and have returned to work recently? My first day back was last thursday and I have about a month to ramp back into the work but dang were those two days overwhelming as hell. I worked from home when my middle child was a baby but i dont remember it being this hectic lol. I know once we get into...

Is it normal that I have bled everyday since I had my Mirena coil put in 67 days ago! It’s not just spotting and most days it’s not light. It’s really getting on my nerves now😩

Does it seem like there’s a faint line or is it just me?

Hi all I have an elective section booked for this coming Friday. I am currently 38 +3. I’ve been having braxton hicks and twinges on and off for a couple of weeks and today have been feeling very generally unwell, nauseous, bad back pain etc. I have a gut feeling I am somewhat dilated but have never had a cervical e...

I’ve only had a handful of solid poops in my second trimester. The rest are mushy and not formed. Thankfully there’s no pain and I only go once a day. Has this happened to anyone during pregnancy? I’m 25 weeks
