I swear it feels this boy is going up in my ribs. I was told I was having a big baby, and am having to have regular growth scans and tested positive for GD. Now it seems to be he’s putting a lot of pressure in my ribs, which is causing minor chest pain and a bit of difficulty breathing. Is this normal? has anyone el...

5w+1; anyone else incredibly thirsty all the time! 2nd baby but didn’t have this symptom last time! Anyone else?

Anyone else the same or just me? I feel the sickness has been replaced with a continual headache and I just feel rubbishhhh, could do with solidarity!!

Has anyone else experienced quite intense cramping that just stopped and then completely disappeared?🙄 I really thought something was happening! 40+2 🥹

Hey ladies Sorry this has probably been asked before but I can’t find any posts… I was having a feel the other night (lol sorry) and I’ve got a fleshy bulge in my vagina, not that far in. I’m pretty shocked as I can’t feel it unless literally with my fingers. I’ve booked a doctors appointment but I would really appr...

Anybody else feel miserable after they eat? Like no matter how big or how small the meal you just immediately feel stuffed, tight and bloated 😩. Especially in the afternoon/evening.

Is anybody else experiencing frequent headaches. They can be so intense sometimes! Blood pressure is fine, iron levels are fine, no gestational diabetes. Generally okay, just such bad headaches!! Could be caffeine perhaps? I do have a coffee at least once a day so maybe that could be the reason. Maybe lack of sl...

Has anyone been mild cramping. I been 8 weeks and 5 days and been been having cramps on and off

So I know the advice for any reduced movements is to contact the maternity unit but before I do that, I just want to know if there’s anything I can do to get baby to move a bit. I had RFM with my first born and was induced at 39 weeks due to 2 periods of RFM in 24h but I had a gut feeling something was wrong then ...

So this is embarrassing, I’m about 6/7 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. My son is 4. I suffer with severe sickness and when I’m sick I wet myself. (Luckily I’m on anti sickness now) But I’m guessing my pelvic floor is non existent. Anyone help me out here ? I have the Squeezy app which I need to get back using. Is ...

I am currently in my week 6 day 5. I occasionally have back ache and bloating but no nausea till now. Is it fine? At which week does nausea begin in general ?

Can your kids point to multiple body parts? My kid can pretty much point to every body parts on herself and on me

Is anyone else having shooting pains across belly and pelvic area? Some lower back pain and headache?

I’ve got really strong pubic line pressure 30 weeks + 2 feel really strong the pressure I’m feeling and can’t sit comfortably? Anyone else had this or what did they do about it?

Not looking for advice or starting a debate on circumcision, just have a question for those of you who have had your son circumcised. It’s been 4 days since my son was circumcised, he had surgical gauze on for the first 2 days due to a small tear he had and the gauze was just removed yesterday. Today he has some yel...

I have not gotten my first period yet since giving birth in September and I do breastfeed/pump. Which is why I didn’t think much of it cause I know that can delay it. awhile back I bled for like two days but very light and now this week today would be the fourth day of light bleeding but yesterday I felt a Gush of b...

I’m sure that I am feeling baby’s movement in my bum these days. Anyone else experiencing this???

Would you say movements are reduced if they don’t feel as strong as usual? 35+5 and baby is moving and I can feel her from the outside but they don’t feel as pronounced as normal? Not sure if I’m overthinking it or not so would appreciate any advice!

Is constant cramping pain normal. This has been going on now for couple of days. It feels like I’m on my period ??

Hi guys, I had a mc on 7th feb, I was 4 weeks. I only bled for around 5 days. This was also during the time my period was due.. the bleed wasn’t that much but definitely was not implantation, as there were some clots. My preg tests at this time were negative. However I have done 2 pregnancy tests a couple of days a...
