Ladies, this might make sense it might not…but in the mornings when i wake up i feel so much pressure!! but when i go to the toilet, it almost feels tight, even going, as if my body is trying that little bit harder to pee…is that normal? (i’m 37 weeks + 2 days) At first i thought maybe it’s an infection but it doesn...

Anyone else having problems with their child just not using their arms for anything or even trying to roll over? HV has referred us to physio as she's never used her arms. No matter what I've tried/bought to encourage her to move. She'd rather suffocate herself into the floor than use her arms... Got our first sessi...

I’m 32 weeks and have had rescued movements twice in the last 3 weeks. I went to triage last night and the hooked me up to the monitor, they said the results were fine but I raised that for my babies pattern, it still wasn’t normal. When I got home I had a call from triage to say actually I needed to come back tomor...

They only stay for a week or two & then disappear. It’s mostly flat, veryyyyyy slightly raised.

I’m almost 34 weeks! I believe by baby has been breach majority of the pregnancy - I’m not worried atm but becuase of this all my kicks are happening/being felt at the bottom of my bump - however most recently I keep feeling a leg or arm popping out on my right side - is this normal 🙈🙈

Does anyone have any advice for the sickness, i will take the most outrageous ideas as nothing seems to be helpful so far😒

Little one is zooming around with her walker and her first tooth just broke through! Our babies are getting so big!

My baby who is 4 week 4 days old having nose congestion , doctors said it’s common in 90 percentage of babies, anybody experience same?? M too much worrying about it

Hey guys 👋 my baby is about to be 5 months on thursday! He has yet to begin to roll over on his own! I try to do it with him some but he just is not interested! He has started to lift his head while doing tummy time but just recently! He was born 6 weeks early so I guess technically he would be only 15 weeks if he…

For the last week I’ve been on off having the feeling like my period is about to start. I’m almost 33 weeks so obvs that’s not about to happen 🤣 but I’m just curious is that braxton hicks? It doesn’t hurt really just uncomfortable and quite low down not really on my bump which is what I’d have expected?

I’m 8 weeks pp and the past few days been experiencing awful pains in my joints and muscles, currently making it really painful when picking up or carrying my LO. It is mostly in my hands and knees and have read it can be linked to hormones possibly?? Any other mums experiencing this at all? Wondering how normal i...

Is anyone else in the same boat.. gave birth a month ago and I don’t fancy eating anything savoury. Only sugar and coffee- chocolates, pastry’s, Fanta etc. absolutely crazy- I make myself a plate of food and I lose appetite after the second bite. I just don’t fancy anything that’s not fully sugar based.. I am also ...

Currently three weeks postpartum and had pelvic girdle pain my whole pregnancy in my back, but since having my daughter I have it at the front and it seems to be getting worse. It’s affecting everything and is excruciating please tell me it gets better.

This is TMI but for weeks I've had pretty loose 💩 but the last two nights I've also been vomiting and have bad pains in my upper back. Do you think I should get in touch with my midwife or just let things ride out?

Please comment pics or suggestions of what to wear! I keep leaning towards tight dresses/skirts as I feel I want to make it obvious I’m pregnant🤣 I love having a bump and want to show it off🥰 I’m rubbish at knowing what to buy though!

Anyone feeling like they’re missing out or concerned? I haven’t had any symptoms this whole pregnancy and have no idea what’s happening I just can’t wait to have a scan and might book an early scan for next week where I will be 9 weeks - I can’t wait to 12 weeks. I haven’t really had any sickness only a few odd ...

Anyone else feeling nauseous again?! Is this a good sign?!

Looking for advice! I will be speaking with my OB at my appt next week but wanted to see if anyone had tips. I’m 7 months pregnant and had been dealing with heartburn/acid reflux for a few weeks. However, now the last 3 nights I have had acid vomit at night. When I’m laying flat down it just doesn’t seem to end. I’v...

I can’t even take 30 mins to do any exercise at the moment 😭 I have set exercises I need to do for an injury but my baby will not be put down without screaming the house down 😭 I’m feeling so down and tired where she’s not sleeping well either 😭 this has been weeks now 😩

Does anyone else wake up in the middle of the night and is struggling to go back to sleep for hours? I’ve tried listening to sound frequencies, cooling down the space, reflecting and calming my mind. I just feel wired for no reason.
