Has anyone started using an activity center for their December baby? She has good head control, but I’m not totally sure when I’m good to start using one! Pic of the one we have for reference 😊

Can anyone please make sense of this? I went into triage tonight with reduced movements. Baby is absolutely fine but the midwife asked if I could feel the contractions which are apparently the bit down the bottom. They’re not painful or anything like that just feel like a stitch or baby’s feet in ribs so mildly un...

I have been breaking out since 38 weeks pregnant in December I’m 14 weeks post partum and my face looks like it’s freshman year of high school. What is going on ? Has this happened to anyone else?

This is my first pregnancy, and to be completely honest, I’m struggling so much. Every single day feels like a nightmare — physically, emotionally, mentally. I don’t feel any joy, just exhaustion and sadness. Lately, I’ve been thinking more and more about ending the pregnancy, because I don’t know how much longer I ...

I’m a breastfeeding mom who is 8-month postpartum, and I feel sooo weak physically! My doctor ordered some blood work, but they came back relatively normal. I can’t figure out why I’m so exhausted all the time, even after sleeping for longer stretches, and it’s started to affect me mentally too. Is it normal to feel...

Is anyone else finding it really hard to go to work? I work full-time in central London and am starting to really dread going in! Although my boss knows I’m pregnant, no one else does so I’m struggling to hide how sick I feel and the commute is exhausting! I’ve considered getting signed off but I’m only 7 weeks so i...

I understand each pregnancy is different. I had 2 prior c-sections with a pretty decent pregnancy. But this pregnancy all I do is hurt & struggle to keep anything down. My doctor has tried 3 different nausea medications & im not adapting to them well . When I tell them about the pains & my experience. They claim it’...

Is someone else having this too? I’m only 27 weeks but it feels like the belly isn’t big enough for our girl. 🤣🤣

When you girls started to feel like having a life? I’m a sahm with a 3yo and a 1yo, I’m always tired and overstimulated 🫠

Hello! Just wondering whether anyone else is doing a lot of exercise? I swim most mornings for about an hour. I used to swim every day before I got pregnant and I’ve carried it on throughout although more very day because it’s hard work and I’ve been so tired 🤣 I also walk a lot and have been on my birth ball for…

I was only sick once in my first pregnancy and that was it. I thought I’d gotten away clean this time but just hit 11 weeks and I’ve been feeling rough all afternoon. I’ve now just been sick 6 times in the space of about 5 minutes. I feel fine now which I guess is a good thing. Is that normal? Should I be concerne...

Have anyone had shortness of breath?😩

Anyone else’s baby roll onto their stomach while sleeping at night but not during the day while playing 😅🙃 my girl is so stubborn.

Is anyone else suffering with insomnia in 35 weeks on Tuesday and the last week I just can’t seem to sleep due to not being comfortable or just not feeling tired so been going to bed at 3am and then up at 6am I have tried having a hot bath and relaxing but nothing seems to be helping

Hi, I started bleeding today. I'm extremely heartbroken. I am supposed to test Tuesday but most likely a fail. I thought if I was on progesterone then I wouldn't bleed until clinic told me to come off progesterone (if I had tested negative)? Has anyone experienced this with a cycle before?

Hello ladies. I'm currently 10 weeks and I'm getting some really low pains feels like a sharp pull and it only seems to be on my left side. Iv had them for a couple of weeks.
