Is anyone else struggling with aching bones? I feel like I’ve got arthritis in every bone in my body since giving birth. My fingers, arms and shoulders are really bad and it takes about 2 hours every morning to loosen up. When I first wake up I can’t even put my arms over my head. I’ve got multivitamins do I need to...

Hiya, my baby is currently getting over his first cold and today one of his eyes has gone a little red on the skin and watery and when he woke up from his nap it looked a bit gooey? Has this happened to anyone else’s baby?

Our 22 month old has learnt how to open the baby gate to the stairs! He's not yet fully able to walk down them unaided and in the middle it's a very sharp turn. Does anyone know if there is an extra lock for the baby gate to keep him from falling down the stairs?

my little one is gonna be 2 months on February 5th, and he’s still congested! It’s definitely not as bad but I notice it a lot unless he’s sitting straight up. Anyone else have similar with their little one? Is this normal? It sounds almost like mucus or something built up.

Just after some advice. I'm 36 weeks today and have been having hourly cramps and tightening across my stomach and lower back aswell as some light leaking for the last 24 hours. I have quite a bit of pressure and it feels like he's dropped alot aswell. I've had paracetamol and showered and that helped at the time bu...

I feel so numb. I’m done trying. I just want to lay down until I slowly drift away. I’m defeated in every way.

When I cough, I get a sharp pain just inside my hip bones. Is this my round ligaments being looser with being pregnant? The pain goes away immediately it doesn’t linger but it’s such a sharp pain when I cough and worrying me. I’m six weeks. Anyone else?

I’m 22 weeks tomorrow and I am so tired, I honestly think the second trimester ‘burst of energy’ isn’t real! Don’t get me wrong, I’m no where near as bad as I was in the first trimester but I just don’t think I’ll ever get a massive burst of energy during pregnancy🤣 I slept for 13 hours last night, whoops! (After…

Having no symptoms is making me question if I’m even pregnant! Is this normal?

Anyone had their nausea just suddenly stop? I’m 7 weeks 3 days. Had a missed miscarriage in March so I’m worried it’s happened again

Is it in my head or has my bump changed? The picture in the pink bra was last night the other photo below is today

I have been like this since 10 am it hasn't gone away and feels like it is getting worse and now I got bad hip pain on my left hip.

I’m just over 24 weeks. First time mum. I’ve been feeling kicks since 20 weeks. Some days baby kicks/moves more than others. I spoke to a midwife today and she said to monitor and make sure babies movements are regular in a pattern. I’m worried as it’s different everyday. I’m high risk too so I have scans every 3-4 ...

Ugh. After having sex with my husband (finally in about 3 weeks) I think I’ve got a urine infection. I was bleeding a small about after the sex and it’s continued for three days it’s a very little amount but still ‘fresh’ Has anyone been in same position, I’ve got a midwife appointment tomorrow luckily. Just want ...

I’ve had second degree tears and a graze. I’m 19 days post partum and I’ve had stitches. Got told I could have sex after having them taken out yesterday by midwife and that I’m fully healed. So now I’ve gone to go have sex this morning and I’m bleeding not too heavy but a lot of blood. GPs won’t see me triage won’t ...

I know for a lot of us who are taking a year, we're not quite there yet but, KIT days start for me in March and then I go back at the start of June and I'm honestly heartbroken at the thought. I can honestly say I've enjoyed every minute of MAT leave and I know I'm incredibly lucky to have had almost a full year but...

I’m currently 5wks 4 days experiencing severe cramping that is making me feel sick, is this normal? Or do I need to see someone if so where do i need to go?

In 5 weeks today and been getting dull cramping for the last week. I had the slightest tinge of brown discharge this morning and now I’m scared to go to the toilet. I’ve had it with all my pregnancies (1 complete 2 MMC) I’m trying so hard to stay positive but when you’ve experienced the worst side of pregnancy anyth...

I’m 5w today and have had cramping since week 3. Last night it woke me up it. It’s not severe more like bad period cramps. Is this normal? Didn’t have this with my first 🥴

Is anyone else’s bump this big at 27 weeks? I’m worried I’m too big, luckily got a growth scan next Friday.🤦🏼‍♀️
