I’m currently 17 weeks and I’m struggling to know if I am feeling my baby boy move or not? Can someone try and explain what early movements feel like as I’m struggling to explain myself how it feels 😂 Almost feels like a twinge or heartbeat low down

Anyone else struggling to switch off ? All I've been doing is cleaning non stop for 3 weeks! Doesn't matter the time of day there seems to always be cleaning to be done 😫 I feel as though I clean and it's dirty again! And I just can't settle despite the fact that I'm exhausted and flaring up my PGP and sciatica 🙃…

But does anyone else feel a 'pop' sensation sometimes near the belly button when they bend? It doesn't happen often but it's weird when it happens and I never had that with my first lol

Just curious as everyone in my family has such different opinions on if I’m bigger or smaller x

Omg why😭 oh why am I getting sharp pains in my vagina 🤣 37weeks today and like 5times today so far I’ve had this sharp pain. Did a fair bit of shopping and was having tightenings and back pain when walking around. Got home and after resting for a bit in bed because of my back. I went downstairs to make a cuppa.…

Anyone just feel overwhelmed with everything? 6 months pregnant. Partner doesn’t register how much is going through my mind, just says I’m in a bad mood and isn’t very helpful. I’m scared and overthinking what’s to come, birth, recovery and the new baby struggles. Worried about money and juggling finances after Chri...

I’m nearly 24 weeks and only started feeling the baby move over the last couple of weeks. It’s just tiny flutters, little bubbles, all still really infrequent and only a few times a day like after meals if I’m sitting very still. Some days I barely feel them at all. I feel like everyone else feels them all day long ...

Hey ladies, I just got back from a 16hr a&e stay. I had been constantly vomiting for 36hours. Very dehydrated and low blood pressure so they gave me twice IV drip and anti sickness. I got prescribed prochlorperazine. Has anyone had any luck with these? I’m so scared of feeling sick again, even though I’ve put up ...

Anyone else struggling this week? I’m 29 weeks & my bladder is taking a hit this week, don’t know if it’s bubba kicking or lightning crotch but it’s doing my head in, can’t sneeze without wetting myself & the pregnancy tiredness has hit. I’m just so exhausted (add the fact I have a 1year old) I feel so spaced I’m t...

Hey, just wondering if anyone else has had a day where the baby hasn’t kicked? Usually he kicks all day😅 I’m 23 weeks so I know still early for patterns but can’t help but worry. I used my at home Doppler (I know it’s naughty) but heard his heartbeat fine. Anyone had anything similar?🙏🏻

So I am 34+4 weeks pregnant. I am already experiencing gallstone pain ( had a scan 29th Sep to confirm I have a 16mm gallstone which for obvs reasons won’t operate until I have given birth) Anyway the last couple of days my stomach has been hurting not just where my gallstone pain is but the sides and below.

My daughter has been doing a lot what I would call squats… like back to back. How soon do yall think she’ll be walking? She’s starting to cruise more as well. She can walk assisted from one of the house to the other.

I’m having pretty intense cramping, feels identical to period cramps and loose stools. I’m not super concerned but pregnancy is weird lol so i guess I’m just wondering if it’s worth calling my doctor about or if it’s normal ? Currently 33w3d

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and for the past two days I’ve had this abdominal and back pain that’s like a really deep aching feel. It’s bad enough to have stopped me going to work and doing anything but lay on the sofa. I don’t have any bleeding and this is the furthest I’ve gotten in pregnancy after 4 miscarriages. Lookin...

Did anyone feel ALOT of movement one week and then the next barely anything ? One thing I don’t like about being pregnant is not knowing what’s going on inside I felt my baby kick maybe once or twice but not as much as she did last week

I have a small living room with lots of toys. My 2 year old likes to get all his toys out and throw them all over. Currently my 6 month old is in his bouncer but I feel like it’s stopping his development. He can roll but can’t go back and I’m worried this is because he’s always in his bouncer. My toddler doesn’t nap...
