Induced at 38w + 4d, but he’s finally here and I couldn’t be anymore happier🙏🏽🩵.

37 weeks 💕baby girl

I am 37 weeks today and as of last night have been getting dull aches and constantly needing to pee! I haven’t slept because I cannot get comfortable - no matter how I lay it feels like I’m pressing on bubba and it’s uncomfortable! He’s always making very aggressive movements that feel very low down? Waters have...

Hi girls, bit of an awkward one but wondering if others have been the same. I’m 11 weeks post c section and even though it’s safe to do so, I have zero desire to do so at all. I am exclusively breast feeding so I know that can impact it but just curious if others feel the same way, frankly I’m not too bothered but f...

I'm 33 weeks pregnant is it too late to decide I want a c section my anxiety is getting the better of me and I just can't bare the thought of giving birth naturally

Ive been having strong contractions for 24 hours now and it’s exhausting. Triage are telling me to stay at home, but im so tired and its very painful. Is this normal for a first? X

How many c sections one can have

I’m 3 days pp and I had my second c section. I am experiencing things that never happened after my first c section and was wondering what’s going on and if it’s normal. My feet have swollen SO MUCH for starters, it’s giving me anxiety and they feel tight and tingly. And I’ve been experiencing this pain in my chest a...

Do you prefer to announce baby names? Saw on IG mom didn’t want to announce, pushy family member made her.

I just am exhausted been like this for about 2 weeks I get literally no sleep don’t know what do do

I looked up Caspian and found that the name is derived from Caspii which means "white". As a non white kid, do you think he would/ could be bullied b.c of that?

I'm 40 weeks and 5 days pregnant, but there's no sign that baby girl is coming anytime soon. 😅 My midwife said I'm 2cm dilated, but my water hasn't broken and I haven't lost my mucus plug. The last couple of days, I've been getting tightening pretty much all day. Does that mean labor is close? Not sure if I should…

Anyone else had this? I read it can be your body preparing for labour but for a few hours now I’ve been having the worst diarrhoea and cramps and those gross sulfar burps 🤢 I’m 38+2, worried it may have been something I ate but who knows! It’s 2am and my tummy is still gargling at me! Pregnancy is rough…

I don’t know if I’m in the start of labour, or just super super uncomfortable. Either way I haven’t lost my mucus plug yet, at least I haven’t seen it. To those of you have given birth already, did you see yours?!

To be so irregular after c section a year a go?

mommas, drop your favorite girl names! I'm expecting my second daughter in a few months and I am stumped. for reference, I love older names – edith, catherine, julia, helen. but I'm also a fan of elena, della, etc. my first child's name is kennedy. please give me some ideas that would pair well with my first daugh...

I just started having cramps (feels like period cramps) and low back pain. I did have to sit for work for most of the day so I figured that caused the low back pain, but now with the cramps I'm feeling nauseous and needed to lie down. Is this normal at this time or anything to be concerned about?

Hi everyone, im currently 5 weeks postpartum recovering from a C - Section and I still have lots of numbness in my lower belly. Has anybody else experienced this and if so how long does the numbness last. This was my first pregnancy and never experienced any type of surgery before 🤍

When did your little one start kicking in your second pregnancy? I’m 17 weeks today and can feel bubbles popping and like pressure pushing up against my belly but still no kicks yet.

Anyone who has had more than one c-section found the recovery harder the second time round?
