Is anyone else getting sciatica like pain now? I have this numb/full ache feeling on my left bum and radiating down the leg. It's so annoying

Anyone else feel like the movements are literally in their cervix? My baby has always been extremely low and is head down. Her movements just feel like she's against my cervix and going to fall out. 🤣

My 16w old has only rolled once from belly to back, seems like a fluke! He’s trying lately but more often that not is trying to sit up instead. He’s so smart, been tracking, making eye contact, smiling/laughing & babbling for a while. Just seems less motivated to roll around.

Has anyone else struggled with their baby not wanting to be held to their chest at all? If I hold her against my chest, either to try and burp, or sooth, or just hold close she does not settle at all and is always wriggling and crying and pushing away as soon as she's there. It's also making it impossible to wear my...

Anyone else obsessed with sleep token? I've had their new song on repeat for three days now 😌

I have bleed through pads in the space of 3 hours even double pad and still bleed through and I am now using my left over maternity towels and I am still blee...

I’m 11 weeks with my 2nd, I’ve been so so poorly I take xonevea 2 at night & 1 in the morning. I can’t eat in the evening times only lunch time & morning time. I go bed at 7:30 soon as my son goes bed. It’s really impacting my family life too. I can’t cook the evening meal as it all makes me feel so sick. I can’t st...

I keep seeing posts on Instagram saying it’s normal that babies do not want to be put down and want to be close to their mothers during the fourth trimester.. however I feel like mine is the opposite?! He is happy in his Moses basket / next to me at night time and doesn’t like laying on my chest. 😭🥺

Who else has cravings? All I’ve been wanting is McDonald’s specifically salty crispy chips and beef burgers, I’m going crazy only wanting McDonalds and not being able to Finnish anything else 😂🥲

Hi, I’m currently pregnant with my first and I’m 16 weeks. Currently I have no bump at all and I have not been showing, I understand age can play a factor and I am petite but I wanted to know if this is normal as everyone I see at even 10 weeks has a bump and I have nothing. The doctor hasn’t told me if baby is meas...

I’m 7 weeks post emergency section and I started feeling better around the 4/5 week mark and felt fine no pain but the occasional back pains. Im not sure if it’s the running after toddler and mum duties around the house but this week I’ve had really weird stomach pains Left side just under my section scar and when...

My 8 month old keeps getting quite hard bogeys in his nostrils that seem to be blocking his nose so I put saline up there to try and soften the bogeys before getting them out but this one seemed a bit scabby and the nostril was slightly bleeding afterwards not enough to be dripping out of his nostril but when I put ...

Hi! I’m 22 weeks pregnant and I never feel my baby move throughout the day. I only feel them at night or in the evening when I get home and am sitting down. Is anyone else here the same?

Anyone have it where it feels like period pain? I’ve woken up today and got the crampy feeling I get when I’m about to come on, is that normal?

I went to my community midwife team as it’s based at the the hospital and they checked baby’s heartbeat on the Doppler as I’m not booked for birth there everything was okay I’ve come back home and I’m still having reduced movement’s I’m going back to triage now b...

So my 4 month old has outgrown her bassinet and I was going to mover her to the stroller part but I’ve read that they shouldn’t be in that part until 6 months because of their spine but she’s just too big for the bassinet. Is it ok to put her in the bigger bit if it lays flat?

Is anyone else suffering with a headache? I woke up with one yesterday morning and it’s not gone since, my blood pressure is fine, I’ve been drinking, eating, taking paracetamol but nothing is working 😩

I'm 9 weeks today and still feeling sick pretty much from morning to night. I'm not physically sick but feel sick all day and constantly heaving. It's exhausting. When is the light at the end of the tunnel??x

I’m 14 weeks on Monday and this is my first pregnancy… I have no sign of a bump! Maybe the tiniest little bit for me to notice. When will I probably start to show?
