Today, for a fair few hours, I’ve had a strange feeling that I can only explain as pressure on my cervix? Possibly? This is my first pregnancy so unsure if that’s right. I’m only 17 weeks. This isn’t a pain, just pressure and uncomfortable. Is it something I need to worry about?

I’m coming to the end of my pregnancy now (37 weeks) and have been taking Xonvea for HG since week 20. It’s stopped me physically vomiting when none of the other meds did, but I do still feel nauseous every day and have strong food aversions. I’m wondering if I should start trying to gradually reduce my dosage i...

My hands have been getting slightly swollen, had my midwife appt today and she checked my wee but I don’t feel she left it long enough on the stick to properly check as it’s meant to be read after 60s. She said there were traces of protein in my urine but nothing to worry about. I checked my urine myself after the a...

12 weeks 3 days… any guesses?

Anyone who is clued up on nub theory or similar, what do you think? This is a scan from 11 weeks 🥰

Has anyone dyed their hair in the first trimester? I’ve got my hair red but it’s really annoying me in how much my roots have come in and I really just want to put a brown back over so it’s less upkeep during pregnancy🫣

I have been put on antibiotics for an abscess in my tooth. They have put me on metronidazole and when I asked the pharmacist and dentist they said it’s safe to take throughput pregnancy has anyone took this before whilst pregnant?🩷

This is my second pregnancy and I’m eating sooo much more unhealthy than with my first. I am craving sweets like crazy and then because of having a toddler I just am having a hard time cooking healthy meals. So I feel like I’m eating like a toddler of Mac and cheese and pizza! I’m so worried I’m screwing up my baby....

Anyone else gotten really uncomfortable in their third trimester? As soon as I hit 32 and a bit weeks I’ve become so uncomfortable in general. Especially in the last couple of days, obviously the usual with baby kicking & bump ache but just also just in general & it’s making me sooo tired, affecting my sleep and no ...

Did anyone else have a poor experience with their ob? I went in yesterday for my first ultrasound and my baby is measuring behind their gestational age. My first baby was always right on track so this was a shock to me, but they brushed past it and said “since it’s measured within 5 days of the GA its okay and wer...

5 days postpartum and I’ve been feeling great since giving birth. But tonight I’ve had this overwhelming sense of worry/dread. With no logically reason behind it and I’m not even sure what I’m worried about. Could this be the start of baby blues?

I started making content again and I’ve been having body image issues. The person in the videos just doesn’t really look like me. Before pregnancy, I was a size 0 and even had to get a custom belt because the smallest 28 inch belt still didn’t keep my jeans up. Now I’m a size large, teetering on extra large. I ha...

I'm still taking xonvea at 26+3, I've been taking them since around 10 weeks. I eased off them around 20 weeks as suggested by my midwife but I felt so nauseous and the vomiting came back. I am so worried about coming off them completely but also concerned about being on them for the whole pregnancy. Anyone still ta...

With my oldest I had really bad post partum, anxiety, and depression. With my second pregnancy now I’ve noticed that I have really bad anxiety and it’s starting to really get to me. Is this normal?
