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’m 27+5 I’ve had reduced movements since yesterday. 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?

Does anyone here have this or experienced it before? I’m going in for blood tests today, I am itching so bad

My 11 month old has really red, puffy gunky eyes. I rang the doctors and the receptionist said they don’t treat conjunctivitis anymore, they just say bathe in warm water and it will clear up within a week. We’re on day 3 now and they’re even worse! All bloodshot, does this sound right to you? Has anyone else’s baby ...

My baby is 5 months and is constantly kicking his legs and flapping his arm up and down in almost a hitting motion. Is this something to be concerned about or is it excitement/ usual body movement as they discover their hands and feet?

Hi all, I’m 34+3 and at the start of the week I’ve had days where there’s been lotttssss of movement, almost feels like baby hasn’t stopped moving. Last night and this morning I’m worried because I’m experiencing very different and she only really kicks if I nudge her or have a good gulp of water but even then it’s ...

Im 33 weeks pregnant and I’ve been getting abdominal pain for the past day. It’s persistent and doesn’t go away. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I call the midwife?

This morning I woke up with a pulling/pinching feeling in my lower stomach then all day today I’ve been slightly cramping. Increase and decrease in food just depends on the day some days I’ll feel so sick when I try to eat and some I wanna eat everything in the house. Tonight I’m laying in bed and I tried taking a d...

I wish the vomiting and nausea stop... Every time I vomit, I look at that man and want to fight him. This is my 2nd pregnancy and now I realize why it took me almost 6 years to do this again.
