I am 38 weeks today. I am not talking about just drinking raspberry leaf tea or eating dates but like really trying EVERYTHING you can think of if that makes sense 😂

Hello! I'm a little nervous writing this, but I’ve been experiencing light brown discharge when I wipe. It has occurred randomly over the past two days, and there are just two small spots. I'm really worried if this is a cause for concern. I have my first appointment scheduled for December 6th, and this is my first ...

Hi ladies, I’m hoping someone can help as I’m unsure of what to even do at this point. It might be a long winded post I do apologise🙈 I have had stomach issues since before I was pregnant, caused by having my gallbladder removed. One of the worst symptoms is what the doctors assume to be stomach spasms. When this…

I’m currently 37 weeks. I’m so tired. I’m really struggling with sleeping during the night and during the day I’m in and out of sleep and not getting proper hours in. Is anyone else going through this? I’m so tired I literally feel like crying. My partner seems to think I’m staying up on purpose? Like who wants to b...

Hi all! I had my 6 week scan after some spotting and they weren’t able to fine an embryo. It’s two weeks later and my spotting has reduced and I’ve done a few tests and they’re still positive. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I’ve got my first gp midwife appointment on Friday x

Has anyone else had their 12 week scan this early - did you end up needing another one closer to 12 weeks?

Feels like someone punched me and my upper fight stomach the same. All day today has felt like I went to the gym last night. I’m only 14weeks pregnant. I’m not having any bleeding or leaking fluids. Just very first time mom jitters 😕

Is anyone else leaking urine when they cough or sneeze? Any thing?

I’ve been getting Braxton hicks for a couple months now, it hasn’t been a big deal, but I’ve been getting them when I stand, or walk too far, or have to go pee etc. Well in the last 2 days I’ve been getting them almost constantly while standing, and now sometimes even while sitting and doing nothing? They’re not pai...

We aren't finding out what we're having, but I'd like to know what people think from the 20 week scan. Also love how it's sucking its little thumb on this 🥰

So i went and had 3d scan today found out my baby girl is breech and she would not turn and never wanted to play. Was there for an hour and a half legs bent over her face all the way through so I'm a bit gutted as was expecting some lovely clear photos. My placenta is at the front so so was squishing her face into t...

Not sure how many dpo as have had multiple peaks in the past 3 or so weeks and I’m trying after an early miscarriage on the 1st October and haven’t had a period yet. I’m use to seeing very faint lines as I’ve always been an early tester, definitely not getting my hopes up and will just try and be patient and grit my...

I’m 40 weeks today and waiting around for baby girl to decide she’s ready to arrive, no signs or symptoms yet but this evening I have been experiencing really painful, throbbing back pain in my lower left side. The pain has gotten so unbearable that it’s made me feel nauseous! Is this a labour symptom? Has anyone e...

So I’ve only had my 12 week & 20 week scan at the hospital & my normal midwife appointments. Is anyone else in the same position as this? This is my first baby & I sometimes now get really worry that what if they haven’t picked up on something. I feel like you should be offered a scan at 32 ish. I know it’s a go...

Went to the early pregnancy unit today for an early scan due to spotting, I’m 6 weeks today and they couldn’t find a pregnancy in my womb or anywhere else. Apparently I have a tilted womb so we had an internal scan but still couldn’t see anything. Anyone have this and have a positive outcome?
