Sudden pressure on my cervix

In the night and again this evening i’ve felt sudden pressure on my cervix, almost like baby is headbutting it trying to get out 🫣 it’s a really sudden, short lived pain but definitely makes me brace/doubles me over for a split second.

Second time mums

This will be my second baby and for whatever reason since being pregnant, sometimes when I sneeze or cough, I wee a little bit. This never happened before I was pregnant so it’s not an issue from my previous pregnancy. Anyone else experiencing this? I consider my pelvic floor to be pretty good and the midwives on m...

Extreme exhaustion

Hey all, just turned 9 weeks and I am so incredibly exhausted. This is my second and I definitely didn’t feel this tired with my first. Anyone else in the same boat? Trying to work out if I’m just a pregnant toddler mum or maybe I should speak to my gp/ midwife when I meet them. Thanks from a very very tired gal 😮‍💨
