First-time boy-mom here and I’m currently 36 weeks. I don’t know if baby is going to wait much longer, he is definitely acting like he wants out. So my question to you mommies is how many weeks were you when your baby came (naturally) full works water break, labor, contractions or however it goes?

I am almost 17 weeks pregnant I felt movement over week ago and not really felt much since I also don’t really feel any different in pregnancy always worrying I contact the midwife she let me hear heart beat said it was good but I have so much anxiety from not feeling any more movement ik it’s still to early i just ...

Does this mean I done it wrong? First box not really showing anything

Just wondering about people’s food aversions during pregnancy. I’m really excited and want to start trying for a second baby but my first pregnancy I was so unwell with the smell of anything cooking, onion, garlic, curry. I would just throw up all the time 😓 Just wondering if anyone has had a completely different…

At my 20 week scan I got told that my placenta is covering my cervix, and that they would rescan me at 28 weeks hoping it will have moved, and they couldn’t see it due to babies head being in the way (he’s head down), so they want to scan me again at 32 weeks. I wasn’t given any information about what placenta prev...

So last night I got very stressed out and was arguing with somebody which I know I should have just tried to stay calm.. but afterwards within about 10 minutes and since then I have just had this really uncomfortable pain in my lower stomach/uterus which feels quite sore to be honest. I am 37+3, I have still felt ba...

When I EBF my 2nd child, my period didnt come in until maybe a year after birth. This time round, my son is only 5 weeks on and i started getting cramps yesterday followed by red when wiping now I've started. Light flow but its blood. Am just so surprised I've started so quickly. Im still EBF and expressing a little...

I’m 22w pregnant with my second baby and I am dealing with crippling anxiety! I can’t sleep, I’m struggling to eat & feel like it’s stopping me from looking after my 10month old baby properly! I feel so restless ALL. THE. TIME! There doesn’t seem to be any obvious triggers (not that I can even think straight) it’s...

I’ve just taken my first anti-sickness tablet at 11 weeks after throwing up continuously for about an hour, and I’m not sure why but I feel really guilty about it. Like I’m letting baby down 😔. Not sure why I’m posting this really other than to see if anyone else has felt the same?

At what point would the pain of your braxton hicks concern you? I’ve had them on and off throughout this pregnancy from relatively early on so I’ve gotten pretty familiar with how uncomfortable they can be.. but since 5:30pm this evening the tightenings seem to go from the top of my stomach to down below and I’ve fe...

Does anyone have this? Or able to offer me any advice please! Haven’t heard of this before but feel like I’m now being fobbed off

A good example of a crazy ask: I will not intentionally fall pregnant before the wedding. (Pregnancy under five months will not be excused from attending wedding events). Another: no tattoos. You need to permanently remove it or pay for a professional to cover it properly. Another: start working out until the day ...

When did everyone start putting weight on when pregnant? Concerned I’m not putting anything on and hope baby is still growing perfectly!

I’m 6.5months pp after c section and I’ve just been completely stunned finding out I’m pregnant again. Any advice ? I wanna hear it all good and bad Currently sh*tting myself tbh 😂

I am a POC & I have not been taking my baby aspirin pills (my body could only tolerate but so much, so I prioritized prenatal vits) . I wonder if it’s too late to lower the chances of preeclampsia. I’m 29 weeks in a few days. My pelvic area is crazy in pain !!!!!!!

For so long I wanted a baby , I dreamed of being a mom . Now that I’m pregnant and about to have my baby , I hate it all . I hate that I have to put my life on hold , I hate that I argue with my partner bc of all the resentment. I’m very aware that I should’ve waited to have a baby I’m still so young (22). I had my ...

I'm 25weeks and once I got to 2nd trimester I felt great! Now I'm so sore and soooo sleepy 😭

Hey is anyone feeling stressed because you have already gained to much weight? I have gained about 15 pounds. This is my second pregnancy and I definitely didn’t gain weight this fast with my first!!

Hey mammas! I’m 28 weeks and currently struggling with movement 😩 I also have severe health anxiety so I’m constantly stressed. This week alone I’ve been to the hospital 3 times and it’s Friday!
