My precious girl was born on Thursday the 16th January! I had lots of labour symptoms for around a month before she was born! Started bleeding and having bad back pain on Monday and hospital sent me home, went back on Tuesday and they sent me home again even after saying I had reduced movements. Booked me for an ...

I've been really holding onto the fact it gets easier but at 4.5 nearly 5 months I just find my LO harder than ever I feel a lot more tired (not sleeping through) and he just seems to cry even more. I assume teething etc so I do feel bad but so many people said after 3 months it gets so much easier and I'm just not ...

Someone please tell me increased movement can be a sign of labour coming? Im so uncomfortable and sick of being pregnant, and she’s decided to start a boxing match with my ribcage and just won’t stop! Can increased movement mean something is going to happen soon?

Any one else exhausted 4.5 months in or is it just me? I thought I would feel like this at the newborn stage!

If you’ve had mastitis, what were your symptoms?! A bit of context: On Friday, I went to A&E (phoned 111 and they told me to go to my GP but the GP told me to go straight to A&E) with suspected mastitis and sepsis. I was shaking uncontrollably, freezing cold, felt sick, felt like I was going to faint, head felt ...

I have this niggling pain on my right hand side above my bum. Anyone else has this?

Had a migraine for 2 days now and it is not going, anyone else’s heads hurting?🥲

I remember waking up one day & deciding I didn't want to live like that. I didn't want to struggle financially. I didn't want to play computer games 247. I didn't want negative people in my life. I made a lot of changes & live a totally different life now. I was hungry. Ever felt something like that?

Anyone trying to take full advantage of their nesting energy? 🤣 I've been in a depressed rut for a year and a half but I'm now in the mood to de-clutter my whole house and decorate for Valentine's Day. ❤

So I went to the doctor the other day because I have been having some heavy bleeding after I got my tubes tied. Which I later found out that most people have heavier period after they have that done, not realizing that I already had that problem. So I’m trying to figure out my issue I found out that my uterus is sti...

Nothing seems to help! Can’t eat or sleep along with already feeling so uncomfortable at 35w pregnant.. Any advice will be appreciated 💗

I really struggle everyday day to get things done. The task could be so simple but I just can’t/ won’t do it. I feel like I’m on pause (if that makes sense) I barely leave the house but I know I should get out more. What are your daily routines like? Would love to know to see what I should be doing in the day. Woul...

Has anybody had an awful migraine leading up to labour?

I am 23+3 pregnant ‘ on Tuesday I felt by baby move fair bit though out the day but since then I have felt maybe one or two “kicks” or nothing at all. Should I call the hospital and be seen or am I over thinking ? This is my first so I am confused if this is normal at this stage

Hi everyone, not a graceful post but in need of some advice✨ I’m 18+2 days and I’m suffering with really bad trapped gas/constipation. I’ve had awful cramps the last few days which I’m certain is trapped gas. Not to mention I’m hardly poopin’ at all these days. I’m so uncomfortable all the time. Just wondered if...

Anyone else feeling so exhausted? I am 22 weeks tomorrow and just feel so tired and full all the time. I keep getting headaches and just need to constantly rest, not sure if its normal 🙃

Hi!! So I had my baby boy November 5th, I was bleeding on and off for about 6 weeks , I wasn’t able to get my pap smear done at my 6 week check up because of it and they said it was completely normal I was still bleeding . Last week I completely stopped any type of spotting , I thought I was fine . Yesterday I start...

So I had my baby November 16th and recently maybe a month ago every time I nurse her I feel super nauseous! Now randomly throughout the day I feel super nauseous as if I’m ready to throw up! Is this normal? There is no way I’m pregnant again😩
