I was supposed to get my period on sunday, but I haven't yet. I've been cramping a tiny bit here and there, but that's about it. But i've also been really stressed, because my grandma was in the hospital last week and she passed away yesterday. So i'm thinking it could be stress related, but it's stressing me more o...

I’m 9 weeks + 3 and have thudding in my ears… is this normal? I keep getting it.

Did anyone suffer with nose bleeds? I’m currently 13 weeks and now it’s a bit relentless in the mornings!

Hello! I’m 22 weeks and I have the worst PGP…I sleep on my side and use a pillow between my knees. But with a toddler this pregnancy has involved many trips up and down stairs, sitting on the floor to play, and just being up and walking way more than with my first. I ended up in tears tonight due to the pain. Look...

Sorry if this is TMI. I'm only 15 weeks. I thought this would be more of a 3rd trimester issue? Honestly, it never happened in my 1st pregnancy. But now, at only 15 weeks, if I cough hard or do a big sneeze, I pee a little in my pants. Is anyone else having this issue already? Please tell me I'm not alone.

For the past 2 days I’ve been having cramps in my lower belly. Every 15 min roughly. Idk if it’s gas, poop cramps, or contractions. I feel like I have to go (lots of pressure) but when I do it doesn’t ease the cramping. I’m 35+4 so it’s still a little early. Nothing helps the cramping. Not heating pads, ice, walking...

How to quantify if the baby has been moving less? What should be considered as reduced? I am confused and worried at same time

Hey ladies, Has anyone with GD eaten in a restaurant or had a take away that hasn’t spiked their sugars? I had wagamamas and it didn’t spike me but I didn’t eat all of the rice. My baby shower is coming up and it’s being held in an Italian restaurant and we’ve ordered a load of pizzas for everyone but I guess I’...

Hi all, My first period PP was an absolute breeze but my second one has just began and honestly not felt pain like it! Paracetamol and ibuprofen aren’t even touching it! It’s also soo heavy it’s unbelievable- has anyone else experienced this?

Fresh red blood after sex. I’m not on contraception (haven’t been for 3+ years), I’m no longer breastfeeding and have been getting my periods fairly regularly these last 6 months. Before pregnancy it would happen often but now it’s more often than not. I feel rather wet when I have sex and I’m not in pain. My sm...

Has anyone suddenly popped? I was so concerned because I had no bump, felt bloated most of the time but no obvious bump. Since Sunday, I have a prominent bump. I’m 22 weeks and look 30 weeks pregnant. This is my second baby.

Is anyone else 6 weeks and experiencing shoulder pain? It’s not at the tip (I’ve already been examed and tested for eptopic everything is fine) it’s found the back near the shoulder pain and up near my neck . It’s soooo sore

How are you managing it? Have you already told the news to your employee? I’m waiting for the 1st antenatal visit to have some advices, but I’ve been lucky not having much nausea!

Anyone with a back pain during the egg stimulation?

How is everyone coping? I'm 31 weeks and sleeping terribly, getting about 5 hours of broken sleep each night. I'm still working full time (and pretty much full time in the office). I've just negotiated 1 day a week from home, and that felt like I was asking a lot. I've only been at my company since October and still...

On and off period pains.. no tightening, no mucus plug/bloody show, has anyone else has this? 37 weeks today 🩷

Hey fellow HG sufferers! So I’m coming up to 13 weeks now and been taking Xonvea for around 4 of those. For the past week I’ve started to not feel sick 24/7. I only feel sick 4pm onwards and only vomit in the evenings now. First of all, wondering when to cut down/get rid of the Xonvea and how you’ve felt when you h...

Anyone else having Diarohea all of a sudden and cramping? If so, is this normal and sign that labour is around the corner

Hey lovelies! When did you all feel your baby's start to move? I'm 17 weeks on Friday & haven't felt anything yet, I'm not concerned as I am a bigger girl but everyone keeps asking me if I've felt baby move yet🙂

Hi! I’m 6 weeks and the only symptoms I’m have are sore breast, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Not having nausea is concerning to me but I’m not cramping or spotting which I’m grateful for. What do you all think? Just need some reassurance. Next appointment isn’t for another 2 weeks
