I’ve fallen down the stairs this morning at 8:10 and it was on my back. I have steep stairs and I went all the way down on my back. I haven’t been hospital because I don’t wanna waste their time but should I go for the baby sake ? Kicks have been normal but I’ve been told about u can rupture ur placenta

Guys, I’m 32 weeks, I’ve had an upset stomach for a couple of days and my lower back is achy - baby is head down already (confirmed last week). Also baby boy is rather big (estimated at over 4 and a half pounds already) Tell me not to freak out - nothing’s happening right?

For a very long time, even before I was pregnant, I have thought what my birth would look like - natural (no meds), dull lights, relaxing music etc; however, now I’m pregnant I’m seriously considering a C-section. I know that anyway a baby is brought into this world is beautiful and the most important thing is the...

New here, currently 17 weeks pregnant. Anyone else still getting nausea in their second trimester?

I’m 13 weeks and I wanna make sure I’m in the right group cause the date they told me doesn’t line up with my pregnancy (they told me end of march) pic so I don’t get lost

Hi - does anyone know the range for Gestational Diabetes test? I failed mine. My results came back 7.8 mmol/L but I feel like that’s quite low or just within the range of having GD. What are my options, could I ask to be tested again? What were your results? Thanks in advance x

I have an 8 month old and I just found out I am 8 weeks and 5 days pregnant 😀 I’m scared like very. Is there any moms out there that has delt with or has 2 under 2 ?

How was your experience with that??

My boyfriend is not easily stressed out, like it takes a lot. We have so much to do before baby arrives and I'm stressed about it but he doesn't feel the stress!! It then makes me more stressed and more angry that he's not worried at all, and it kinda makes me feel like my stress is invalidated! Like, I just want s...

Is it normal for heart rate to reduce? I’m guessing it’s ok as midwife was happy but not sure? Latest one was today (31+2), one prior was 28 weeks.

Hi moms, I did a stupid mistake today and ordered a pizza with parma ham. I feel really dumb now. Anyone who has a suggestion, what should I do? (21w pregnant) Thanks!

My skin completely cleared up during pregnancy and was still good until recently when I cut down breastfeeding (not sure if it’s linked) soo annoying 😫 anyone else experienced the same??

When did your PGP start? Currently 15 weeks and think I’m already developing it 🫠😢

Hey guys I did a sneak peak test at 7 weeks 5 days pregnant Got my results in today and it says girl!!🩷🌸 Which I am very happy about but just wanted to know if anyone else had took the test this early on and whether it was right or not for you? Any experiences welcome please share☺️

I've had a couple dizzy spells today so called into a pharmacy to get my blood pressure checked out. It showed as 126/96 which they consider high due to the diastolic value being over 90. I understand this much from working in pharmacy myself. But I'm aware that high blood pressure is a symptom of preeclampsia, so I...

This isn’t necessarily about my child, but has anyone gained their pregnancy weight back plus some?🥺 it’s making me super depressed and idk what to do. I can’t fit in any of my old clothes, i’ve sized up twice in clothing and i’m not comfortable 😭

I know it’s meant to be rather symptomless but at 14 weeks I’m peeing all night, much less during the day, and I get extremely tired after eating carbs. Is it worth seeing if I can pull the test forward? I also have PCOS which I think is a risk factor for GD?

I’m probably too early to play 😅

I’m feeling terrible about myself as I haven’t been eating the best during this pregnancy. I have a 2 year old and I work and I just have no time to think about myself 😅 I guess I’m just looking for a bit of reassurance 😭

So my step daughter is 10 and ya I need some advice please. Her mom decided that because her “stomach hurt and she had headaches” that her period was going to start soon and of course it had to be a time when we would have her. The mom has told my husband that the doctor thinks the girl will start her period some ti...
