5 weeks 4 days pregnant and having more cramps and twinges in my lower back especially in afternoon is anybody else having this? And random cramping pain in legs

Hi All, I had my baby girl in April and had an epidural which went smoothly and I had no issues with it. However, I am now 7 months PP and I have really bad back pain which I’m assuming is as a result of the epidural. Sometimes standing for too long or walking for certain length of time can cause my pain to worsen. ...

When is the latest one can implant?? I was laying on the couch last night and felt a pin prick on my left side a few times and then nothing. No cramps or sign of period, period was due yesterday. Only negative tests

So my baby still won't pull herself to stand, the health visitor said that they will call me in two weeks to see if there's any improvement (6 weeks from our development appointment). I've been doing the exercises suggested and I've noticed that when she is standing after being put into position her ankles seem to...

Is anyone else insanely sensitive to smells? I can’t handle ANY food smells - cooked, cooking, uncooked. Even opening the fridge will send me into a vomit spiral 🥴 Tips?

I’m currently 41+4 and waiting at home for a space to become available on labour ward for them to break my waters. However, since 1am I’ve been having lower abdominal pain on and off, constant back ache and a feeling of really intense pressure in my bum. Does this sound like it could be the start of labour? I was al...

Hi, last pregnancy I started getting a bit sick week 6 & was off work by week 8. This time round I’m literally 5 weeks and the nausea (no sickness yet) has arrived with a constant bang. Which is unexpected & I am a bit gutted and feeling a bit low. My questions is how soon do I contact the GP? Do I need to get wor...

Just wanted some advice. I’m 5 weeks PP and stopped bleeding but have been having that awkward lochia discharge, like yellow/white. Today when I wiped I’ve had some blood, not too sure if it’s my period but it was only when I wiped and it was fresh red blood. I’m EBF so I thought I wouldn’t get my period yet?

I am 6+5 had been so nauseous with a lot of breast sensitivity throughout just had spotting yesterday, fever and today got up with no pregnancy symptoms at all. Super worried EPU said if symptoms don’t return until monday ring them. I am so anxious atm. Has this happened with anybody else.

My baby is just over a week old and since yesterday we've noticed his eye is a bit sore and gooey, ill give it a good clean with cotton pads and cooled boiled water and put him down for his nap by the time he wakes it's gone all gooey again. Who do you recommend I call for something like this, is it the midwife or d...

My baby’s 6 months old and still can’t roll? Is this normal? I know all baby’s develop differently but I always thought he would be rolling by now.. I do tummy time daily and seen some ways to help teach a baby to roll and do them daily and have been doing it daily for atleast 2-3 months now?

At what week did you start to feel movement ? I’m 21 weeks now and nothing yet x

Anyone else get nosebleeds? I'm 27 weeks and 5 days, just had a nose bleed and dripped onto my white t shirt 😭

I'm 30 weeks and every morning I'm so congested but also nose is bloody it don't pour out but when I blow or use a nasal spray can see there's bloody snot basically. I read quite common in pregnancy just wondering anyone else experiencing this.

I’ve been experiencing spotting for the last 3 days and it’s getting progressively darker in colour. I did have a Subchorionic Hematoma however after a recent scan was advised it was no longer there (although I’m not sure how thoroughly this was checked). I have no cramps and the blood isn’t filling a pad but nonet...

Is anyone else just getting little waves of nausea throughout the day? Hope it doesn’t get as bad as it was with my first. It lasted all day and eating was the only thing that would help

Our little boy is confidently rolling back to belly now but can’t roll back so gets frustrated. His tummy time has obviously increased now because he is putting himself there and we’ve tried to roll him back to show him rather than picking him up. But it is really affecting his sleep because he is rolling onto his t...

We will be starting our LB on Aptamil Anti-Reflux. We have tried different formulas and Aptamil is (so far) the one that agrees with him. I have heard that preparing Anti-Reflux formulas can be tricky. How do you do it? With the normal formula we are using the hot shot method but I've been told that it doesn't work...

My nearly 4 month old baby boy is congested to hell and has been for ages. We have the capol vapour plug in, use snuffle babe and have a snot sucker. However I don’t think my snot sucker is very good, what’s everyone else using sucker wise? Thanks.

Anyone else found their baby is sticking to the same position and therefore not moving much? Last week baby was rolling side to side but since a couple days ago he’s stuck in one position. Because of this I don’t feel him move often, just his feet and hands occasionally moving around. Had a growth scan yesterday and...
