I’m 37 weeks on Sunday and I was wondering when is the right time to start collecting colostrum?

Random question, but I am going back to work in March and reducing my days from 5 to 2, they have said I can choose which 2 days but I can’t decide between Tues & Wed or Wed & Thurs. I obv don’t want to work a mon or Friday. And I like the thought of the 2 days being together to get them done and Wednesday seems too...

Moms, does your belly get hard, as if the baby is trying to rip it open? Does your belly feel tight and uncomfortable? Does it only ease a little with a bath or when I lie down and relax my belly..

The third trimester is here for me and I'm just ready for this girl to make her appearance! I've been so uncomfortable lately. The fatigue just slapped me in the face and the hunger is REAL!! How have you guys been feeling?

Hey everyone! I'm starting to get super inpatient about my baby being born and how slow time seems to move. I know we have a long time away and I will be 16 weeks on Friday but I have been having dreams and thinking a lot about when my baby is born which is making me super excited. Yet I'm also like time feels like ...

Has anyone done the first peek gender test at Window to the Womb? I wonder how accurate it is.

I had my test last week, do you think it’s too early to hear something or is it good thing that I’ve not heard anything yet? How long did it take for your results x

Hi everyone, hope you’re all okay and getting ready for your November babies! I’ve been in so much pain the last 4 days or so and have been told I’m in early stages of labour at 37+2. Has anyone been told this?

How many weeks are you all?

Hi all, with my first pregnancy I hemmoraged and retained my placenta, luckily the Dr managed to get it out before I needed to be rushed for surgery... I am now 35 weeks with baby number 2 and scared it's going to happen again... has anyone experienced this and if it happened once did it happen again?

Had my 34 week growth scan on Monday and was told baby is measuring within normal range for gestational age they reckon 5lb 14oz. At my 32 week growth scan 2 weeks prior they said baby was measuring big, accelerated growth. Today I've seen my Midwife and she's found glucose in my urine so would like me to take anot...

Has anyone got any experience with this and any advice. I've just found out I'm pregnant again and I'm due roughly when my first is just turning 1. I'm nervous confused and trying to figure it all out.

I’m 5 weeks pregnant atm with my second baby, I had pre eclampsia with my first. When do they advise you to start taking mini aspirin?

8 weeks and the dreaded nausea and food aversions have come with force! Mainly meat that grosses me out but I always seem to go off chips/potatoes in the first trimester too 😭 living off toast and cheese sandwhiches for the foreseeable 👍😂

Anyone had protein in urine I'm currently waiting for my appt at the hospital and the midwife checked my urine and said oh there's some protein and bow my anxiety is through the roof! My mind is racing like what could it be! My blood pressure was fine! I don't even know why she told me lol I had my urine checked yes...

Anyone else have an extremely clingy toddler (2) the closer they get to due date? My little one is having a breakdown if I go to the toilet at the moment and refuses to have anyone else carry her if I’m there 🤔 I’m having a c-section so I’m slightly worried what’s going to happen when I actually have the baby 😅

I am 38 weeks today, meaning I could have my first baby any day now. I have been so excited to meet him but am so nervous for labor and labor pains. I do plan to get an epidural but I am just so fearful of the pain before and after or that my epidural won’t work etc.. It isn’t uncommon for me to be anxious but this ...

Anyone else suffer from severe pregnancy anxiety? This is my first pregnancy after six and half years TTC. What are some things you all do to help and feel assurance that everything will be okay? 🥹
