I’m 38+1 with my second baby. This morning I’ve woke up and I’ve got dull period like pains really low, I can feel baby is super low as well. I’ve got really bad backache, feel really nauseous and also feel very hot. I was induced with my first so not really sure what spontaneous labour feels like. I have a midwife...

Has anybody experienced a reduction in movement at 40 weeks? I’m 39+6 and have been used to my baby being very active in pregnancy. For the last couple of days though, her movement has slowed right down. Not sure if it is because she has dropped so low down and I’m not noticing the movement so much (now she’s no lon...

I think I'm having trouble teaching her, everything says 16-18 months is when they start but she just doesn't seem to understand, she has fun trying to but just can't. I have her watch me and then I help her, I've tried a bunch of different ways with the help of YouTube videos, she watches with me and gets excited t...

Has anyone else experienced slight cramping after sex? It’s around where I feel round ligament pain, just haven’t experienced this until now. It didn’t last long and wasn’t too painful, just ever so slightly crampy and despite knowing it’s safe to have sex when pregnant it freaked me out a bit!

I’ve had a very high bump throughout my pregnancy. But this morning the belly seems somewhat lower? Is this the ‘belly dropping’ or am I delusional. 😅

Still taking this as a negative but I’ve been having weird dreams heartburn nausea. I’ve been pregnant before I have a baby. I have that growing uterus feeling idk how to describe it pressure? Thought I would test. I swear there’s a faint line? I’m only 6dpo

I’m 35 weeks today and starting to get pretty painful cramps in my hips and back all day today. They are not consistent, come/go quickly and are pretty sharp / have been happening on and off for most of the day Also baby is moving a lot Should I be concerned?

So I’m 6 months pp and seem to keep getting recurring infections down there.. thrush, water infection and seems like another now. Is this normal/anyone else had this?

I just recently found out that I have Gallstones. Went to a Dr but he recommend getting my gallbladder taken out. Anything that has to do with surgery scares me. Can you guys help me out with any advice you have done anything such as a flush, medicines, homeopathy or got your gallbladder removed? Thank you

Hi, I’m 36yo. My LMP was on Jan. 15 and I am currently 5 &1D preggy. Last night around 8pm i noticed brown discharge and I said maybe it’s normal. Then around 12am it got heavy. I went to the hospital and gave me some meds. I did TVS just earlier but no sac yet. They said it might be 2 early. My OB said the bleeding...

Let’s see everyone’s bump! I’m currently 30+3. Original due date was April 28th but getting induced on April 7th!

So to preface, this is my second pregnancy. My daughter is 2.5 right now. So it’s been a while since I’ve been pregnant. But I don’t remember feeling all these kicks/movements being this strong at 22 weeks. Like right now I felt some sorta movement in my lower belly to my upper. I don’t know if it’s just because of ...

Is it normal for my baby to be kicking my vagina? Just gone 24 weeks 1 day

PSA It's not a race (physically or developmentally) to put your baby in a toddler/ floor/ big kid bed or to forward face them.

Okay so my daughter (almost 11 months) toppled over in the bathtub and turned and her face got in the water for a split second before I got her out. Should I be worried about dry drowning? She coughed a bit after but hasn't since.

every step i take i have this shooting paint. is this normal for 37 weeks? it hurts to even walk

Hey everyone, I’m 29 weeks and for the last id say 14/15 weeks I’ve been itching pretty consistently. I do have a condition that causes my hands and feet to itch also but that usually comes with a rash and a burning sensation too. What I’m experiencing now sounds like cholestasis in pregnancy. I’ve had my liver and ...

Hiiii ladies so I have all the classic mastitis signs and symptoms, minus a fever. Went to my OB today and saw a midwife. (I genuinely love and trust all of the providers) but now I’m on antibiotics for mastitis - 4 pills a day for 7 days 🫠🥹 My question is: Has anyone else ever gotten mastitis during pregnancy…

6weeks + 4 and been experiencing sickness feeling every day, it will start about 8pm and last until 1/2pm the following afternoon! Has anyone else experienced similar? It’s starting to become obvious to those around me and at work but I’m not ready to share the news that I’m expecting yet. I put it down to being ti...

Anyone else just crazy overwhelmed with everything? Feel like everything’s gone wrong. I feel like I’m being compared to everyone else already let alone how they coped with recovery and visitors and how I’m being expected to cope with it. I just I’m already crazy uncomfortable and scared about my c section and with ...
