Sore lower tummy muscles - second time Mum

This is my second pregnancy, and I’m about 8w3d. Last night my tummy muscles started to ache like I’d done an abs workout, and I’m also starting to get what I think is round ligament pain either side of my pelvis when I lay on my sides. Has anyone else had sore tummy muscles? Mainly when I stand up and get on with...

10 wks pregnant and struggling

Okay I know this isn’t a poll and I’m posting in a poll group but I see a lot of regular post and this group seems to give the most feedback. I am currently 10 weeks 2 days pregnant and I’ve been pretty nauseous the whole time. The last week it’s been a little better during the morning but at night I am still strug...

Vomiting at night

So weeks 6-9 I had constant nausea, no vomiting at all.. maybe once. I’m 12 weeks now and the constant nausea went away, but now I’m puking almost every night right before bed. Has this happened to anyone else? So strange that the vomiting is starting now.

What would you do

Would you go to labor and delivery if you are having pelvic pain every 30 minutes or so and won't go away? I've been having some stomach tightness every 30 minutes or so too. I've been trying to wait until Friday at my appointment to bring it up to my doctor

Vomiting… start of labour?

I’m 37+4 and before I went to bed I was getting pain in my right side which I assumed was round ligament pain, along with the usual acid reflux. At 1am I woke up and took gaviscon then within about 10 minutes felt sick. I’ve since been sick 3 times, my bump feels tight and sore but I don’t think I’m getting contra...

2nd semester exercise

Hey ladies! Just a random poll. How many of you are exercising regularly in your 2nd semester? I definitely feel like I started strong and let the tiredness take over. Personally I might be more tired now than during my 1st trimester.

How can I tackle this sleep deprivation? My body historically has hated not having barely any sleep. I get such a sick feeling, nausea and horrible headaches.

Is it normal…

To feel like your insides are going to fall out of your vagina/anus when you sit on the toilet or walk longer distances? 2nd time Mum, but can’t remember this with my first. I did have retained placenta this time so had mva/manual extraction post birth… assuming it’s normal, but thought I’d ask here.
