Possible labour?

Passed out with my son earlier tonight I’ve woken up feeling sick and a constant dull ache at the bottom of my back that’s quite uncomfortable especially when trying to get back to sleep. Also had shooting pains from the hip down on my right side but only every now and then.

Second baby

Has anyone else found this pregnancy so much harder than their previous? Very close to due date now. But I am in so much pain. I have a toddler and people say to me “oh it’s so much harder with having a little one to run around after”. But it’s not actually that I’m struggling with. I have a fairly chilled out child...

Light cramping??

31 weeks tomorrow, started lightly cramping a few days ago. Feels like a cramp I’d have that signaled my period was coming. It’s so uncomfortable, and for the last few days it was only at night, now it’s during the day. Anyone know what it might be? Should I be concerned?

Extreme Fatigue- can anyone relate?

Hello All, I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant with twins, and I’ve been extremely fatigued since my first trimester. I thought I’d feel much stronger in my second trimester (and I do, compared to the first), but I still can barely manage my day-to-day tasks. I sleep a lot and can only get a few things done each day. I ...

Baby Girl 💗🎀

We’ve got ourselves a little girl 🥰…she’s a little kicker as well. We saw her give a strong kick to the placenta (which annoyingly is anterior 😒) and sucking her little thumb 🥹. I cannot wait for the next 24 weeks to hurry up!

Sharp pain right side

I'm currently 4 weeks pregnant and I have a sharp pain on my right side. It doesn't hurt when I press there, just when I move around or exhale. I'm worried this could be an ectopic pregnancy. Is this likely or is it a normal symptom and I'm just overthinking?

Has anyone’s baby had conjunctivitis?

My little boys eyes are really red and they now have yellow coming out of them. He is fine in himself.. Do I need to call 111 or will it be ok to wait until Monday to get a gp appointment. I’ve been wiping with warm water. Have tried googling but it’s very conflicting!!
