I’m 5weeks+4 and have no symptoms at all!! I honestly keep forgetting I’m pregnant. With my first, the tiredness was off the scale in the first trimester but I can’t really remember when that kicked in?! I know I’m obviously lucky to not experience horrible symptoms (which I guess may arrive) but it’s also slightly ...

Just got back from my 36wk appt & I’m already 3cm dilated and 70% effaced!! With my first, I wasn’t 3cm until I hit 40 weeks! Hoping this means big dude will be evacuating the premises before his due date lol

What are we all doing to get and keep energy through the day without coffee? I'd drink it, but it makes me more tired. So, I'm wondering if there is anything anyone else is using to have energy and be productive.

Does anyone do tea at 5pm and then a snack before bed ? Not seemed fussed lately on bedtime milk so thinking should I swap to something like cereal

Omg I am getting so much anxiety thinking of my LO being in his own room for the night for the first time on his own, please tell me it gets better ! Will I wake up if he needs me like will I hear the monitor, will he not feel lonely 😢

Ate the strawberries and refused everything else. Yay. 😭

Does anyone else worry that their bump is not getting any bigger? I’m 25+4 but don’t really feel it’s there! I have a colleague at work who is pregnant also and has popped so it hard to not compare sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Im 29 weeks and baby usually moved a lot at night however she’s been moving all throughout the day today, im not sure if i should be worried?

Has anyone else’s sickness returned near the end of pregnancy? I’m 37 weeks tomorrow. I did have a sickness bug last week but seemed to be getting better but today I have just felt so nauseous and tired again. It’s like the start of pregnancy all over again 😩 I have so much to do to get organised and have 0 energy…

What can I do to find out why I’m so fatigue? Can’t get thru the days

Everybody keeps saying to prioritize rest to combat sleep deprivation, but the more sleep I get the worse my depression gets. It feels like being sleep deprived is the only reason I don't lose my mind everyday because I'm too pumped with adrenaline to get sad. I want to spend time with my partner but our sleep sch...

So I’m Coming on up on 20 weeks Wednesday and the movements and kicks have been getting stronger when baby boys not having his quite chill days he’s all over it’s like i can feel him switching positions and flipping any other mamas?

I’m 19 weeks 4 days and some days I feel bubbles little man moving but some days I don’t. Last Friday I went to the er because there was no ultrasound tech in office that day and they only did Doppler and found his heart beat and I was rushed out by the dr who didn’t reassure my worries. She also said “we don’t do u...

Hello Does anyone remember the “world turning different” feeling after having your first baby? Like everything is new and weird and you are a different person now. Does this happen again with your second or do they just fit in?

Unsure if I should call triage as I’m not sure if this is really classed as ‘reduced movements’ I’m 37 weeks tomorrow and I’ve never really experienced reduced movements before, I would really necessarily say my baby has a ‘pattern’ for movements either, IE Morning/after eating etc, he’s just pretty active in gene...

My little boy was conjunctivitis in both eyes they are so sore and swollen! Anyone been in this boat. We finally got drops from the doctors today but they are so sore and he hates me bathe them which I have to as they stick together. I feel awful seeing him like this 😞

Is this normal?? So yesterday morning I had 3 lots of sickness. Thought that was the start of my morning sickness but today I've had nothing (not that I want it) but just worried something may be wrong🥺😬 Anyone else had this?

Sometimes I wake up in a panic bc I slept hard for a long stretch and it takes me a second to gain my bearings and find him. (Even tho he’s always in the same spot by my belly, my sleepy brain just searches up by my pillow first)
