Constantly craving McDonald's

We don't even eat McDonald's that's much (maybe 5 times a year) but every evening I am constantly craving it. I have not had one yet. I like it warm and fresh so having it delivered won't hit the same and my toddler is in bed when the cravings are happening. We drove past a MacDonald earlier today and I didn't have ...

When to start counting kicks

I’m currently 21weeks pregnant and baby girl has been really active especially this past week but not the the point that any real pattern has formed as such. However, today she’s been quite quiet and I’m not sure if it’s normal or not. I’m sure she’s absolutely fine but any advice would be great xx

Leg cramps

Anyone else having horrendous leg cramps at night? I keep having them every few days and it’s horrible but my midwife has said it’s really common to get leg cramps at night from 2nd trimester onwards and to stretch before bed but that’s not doing the trick 😩

Almost 17 weeks and feeling so awful

Started off as a sore throat/ cough and then congestion and blocked nose, but today I just can’t seem to stop vomiting. Any little thing I eat and drink comes back up, including my anti sickness meds. Any one got any advice? Just worried about dehydration & baby etc, are we also able to have electrolytes or no?

PP bleeding

I’m just over 2 weeks PP now and I’m worried about the colour of my bleeding. It’s a very dark brown and has been for about a week now. Also getting a lot of stomach pains especially after eating or drinking. Is the colour normal? When I say dark I mean dark dark brown. TIA

Movements

I’ve not really felt my baby kick that much since last night I’m now 41+1 and I’m starting to get major anxiety. What are the chances if I went to the hospital for reduced movements that they’ll keep me in for an induction since I’m so far along?

Is it a problem that my baby isn't sitting still?

If I put her in a sitting position then, after a fight to get her to bend at the hip, she will sit however it doesn't really last long and she'll go on her tummy instead. When she wants to be upright she'll kneel with her legs in the W position which I know isn't great for them. Technically she's still upright kneel...

Third Trimester Tiredness

Anyone else hit a wall? I’ll be 29 weeks on Sunday but this week has been the longest week ever already. The tiredness has hit x1000 and I literally feel too exhausted to move but I have a 2 year old and 3 year old so it’s business as normal 🙃 Just want to sleep, eat snacks and sleep some more 😴
