Does anyone else struggle with when to go into triage? I was in last week twice and now I feel like my baby isn’t moving as much as yesterday but she is moving. I’m exhausted from going to triage so much and I don’t know what’s best for my baby.

Hi all! I'm 35 weeks now and baby was engaged 2/5 last week at my midwife appointment. Since then, I've been getting an increase of Braxton hicks (frequency, how long they stay for but not pain).

I am 13 weeks tomorrow and I still have nausea. I just feel so drained and tired. With my first it definitely went by now. I have not been sick for a while but the nausea is just lingering. I have some anti-sickness but they knock me out so I don't like taking them. When does it go?

When did people start to feel their 2nd baby move ? I’m 16 weeks and not felt anything. I am a higher BMI will this impact me being able to feel movements ?

I don’t know if it’s because I’m 28 weeks pregnant with a toddler? Or because I just genuinely feel so crap. Every single morning I wake up I feel shocking!

Im 12 weeks tomorrow and I just woke up with this sharp pain in my pelvis for a good 30 seconds - 45 seconds.

Or could it have just…
