Wondered if anyone had experienced leaking a gush of fluid (no smell/blood) around 5 weeks? I called the EPU and they said they can’t be sure, so to contact my gp (which really surprised me tbh). I had a mc last year at 12 weeks and remember it started similarly so I’m really panicked now. Just wondered if anyone ha...
Heyy ladies!! I’ve noticed one of my breasts has leaked a little clear fluid. Has anyone else experienced this yet?
Hi guys I am 33+5 today, when I went for a wee I had to wipe 3 times and this was on the tissue (this was the 3rd wipe) could it be my mucus plug or just discharge! If it is my plug what do I do?? I’m a first time mum 🥺
Had anyone for a list of what to include in the hospital bag? I have a whole list but I'm so paranoid I may be missing something important
I am due in April and I am starting to prepare for my hospital bag and was wondering what brand (available in UK) you'd recommend for maternity pads. I can't handle something that's too thick.
What’s everyone planning to take with them to the hospital? Any hospital bag must haves??
When I went in to be induced I had planned to deliver naturally. I dilated to 4 cm when I was told I need an emergency c section. Do y’all think my OB will still do an internal check at my 6 weeks appointment or no?
At my 36 week appointment fundal height randomly fell far behind so they got formal growth scan and was diagnosed growth restricted. Also breech they said likely won’t have room to flip but scheduled an ECV, said likely will be a c section. I’m small so they think maybe that’s why.. I was planning to go all natural ...
I had a hospital birth with my first baby because I was scared as a first time mom! But with my 2nd I’m feeling ok with doing a home water birth, I always wanted to do a home water birth anyway! This is going to be my last baby though! Should I go for it or no?
Any moms with experience with circumcision? Having a little boy in June and definitely planning on him getting one but scared and don’t know what to expect.

What is everyone doing to help with there post c section glow up ? Any treatment recommendations?
I’m 35 weeks and today lost my mucus plug. Anyone go into labour soon after they lost theirs?
This is cute so I wanted to participate Name(s) Lorenzo & Helena Hormone drip: no Episiotomy cut: no Epidural: no Gas & air: no Induced: no C-section: YES! Helena was breech and the odds of having to have a c section after pushing out Lorenzo was too high and I did not want to double heal. Knew sex before hand:...
Those who had a c section, how long did you stay in hospital for?
Hey mamas to be! I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant and I was wondering when people would start to pack a hospital bag for just ourselves? I’m thinking to get one ready by 24 weeks just in case we need to get monitored overnight or something? Or don’t we need to think about that quite yet? Thanks 🩷
Today I’ve had a little bit of mucus plug come away, constant low back dull ache this afternoon and feeling nauseous which is unlike me. Been going to the toilet more these last few days, feeling popping sensations like little bubbles in my cervix whenever I do hip circles and things. My first baby, labour didn’t st...
So my little boys turned 4 months old last Monday and has just gone into 12-18m clothes and its starting to worry me how big hes getting and am considering talking to a doctor about it but I’m not sure if I’m just overreacting and he’s just a big baby, at what point would you start to worry? x
