I know every aby goes at their own pace and it no race but sometimes I can't help but compare...she has a cousin same age about month apart and he's walking...it's kind of crazy to me that babies are so different ...she's my 1st so you can see why I think like this hahaha anyone on same boat? Can relate?

I don’t know whether to be worried or whether this is normal pregnancy symptoms as pregnant with my first. The last few days I have had diarrhea after every evening meal only, some period like cramping (could just be down to my stomach not being happy), on and off heartburn (which I don’t get very often), low back ...

I'm 40 weeks and im getting period like cramping, lower back pain and the urge to pee constantly. The pain is confusing to track atm so im not tracking it. Not really sure what I should be feeling right now. I'm able to get on fine with whatever I need to do.

15 weeks + 2 and been experiencing shortness of breath & lots of aching legs. Anyone experiencing the same? I don’t remember this with my first!

I end up gritting my teeth, or I’ve hit my leg before I’d never hurt anyone or do more to myself but it’s like a burning in my chest I wanna break something how do you stop this or express yourself safely?

Im nearly 6 weeks pp. I had bleeding till 3 weeks then it seemed to stop. Last week so 5 weeks pp I started spotting light pink then that turned into heavier bleeding which has been happening for the last 3 days (last 2 days have been quite heavy leaking through pads sometimes) could this be my period or likely to j...

Hi ladies, is anybody else finding the third trimester absolutely exhausting? I woke at 9am after a 13 hour sleep, back to bed at 11. Woke at 1:30pm, back to bed at 4:30 and have just woken again. No matter the rest I have I am seemingly tired like I’ve never been tired before!

Having on and off period type cramps today. I don’t know if it’s a sign of pressure or that things might be starting on the early side! 38 weeks on Tuesday.

Anyone else experienced sudden increase in cramping at around 9 weeks? Last few days had really awful cramping - definitely not mild but wouldn’t call them severe. More like painful period cramps. I had this kind of cramping at around 4 weeks then it went away but definitely back with a vengeance! It sometimes goes ...

Hey all! due end of June - I was at the hair salon the other day and I suddenly went very warm even though the room was apparently cold and I needed to take my jumper off. I felt super nauseous and my hearing went funny, like I was going to pass out. That sensation passed and I felt fine again, but then it returned ...

Has anyone’s LO struggled with a blocked tear duct? Our 1 week old has a bit of a watery eye which is sticking together after she cries. I am confident it’s not conjunctivitis as there’s no colour to it and her eye is not red. From researching I believe she has a blocked tear duct and we have been using cold boiled ...

I’ve had brown spotting on and off through my pregnancy so far. I’m currently 12+6 and all scans so far been ok. Just everytime it comes again I feel so worried it’s horrible! Anyone else had this too? I’m on progesterone pessaries and did have a small bleed show on an early scan.

Can’t keep anything down. Everytime I drink or eat something it just comes back up again. I’m so thirsty but if I drink I’m sick 😢

When did your first trimester nausea start to go away? I'm asking because mine is starting to ease but I don't want to get too cocky and think it might be over when it may well come back and it turns out in just having a good couple of days.

I am just under 20 weeks and I am a plus size girl I’ve not felt any movements yet is that normal? I’m usually a size 22 in clothes. My bump has come out of nowhere recently but not felt anything.

I’m 33+1 today and I just feel like my stomach is so big and tight - I cannot get comfy. I can’t perceive how to go on for another 6 weeks (elective) and what will become of me. Anyone else in the same boat? Feels like I’ve already run out of room 😆

I got my BFP yesterday and today I went to the bathroom at 1 in the morning and tested at 5 in the morning and it was faint I know I’m probably just having bad anxiety but I have so much trauma due to so many losses that I’m freaking out it’s gonna happen again. Is it normal to have this much anxiety?

I’m 8 weeks today and struggling to fit into my jeans! I’m definitely quite round already even though it’s my first. I’ll also add that I’m 5ft2 which means less space for baby to hide.

Are you giving chocolate this year?

Any one else hypermobile and dealing with immense pain in their pregnancy? I recently went to see a pelvic floor therapist and she immediately asked if I was hypermobile. I haven’t been properly diagnosed, but she confirmed I am and we are starting treatment. I’ve always had some degree of pain, but it’s been pretty...
