Hi all - 37wks here and struggling with mid to right back pain that is also coming from the front ribs I think from baby kicking. Also- have slightly elevated fluid levels so might also been causing everything to squash. The pain is worse after walking more than 15 mins which sucks because I love walking. Any tips...

I'm 21+3 and up until Sunday, was feeling baby more with each day. I didn't feel any movement on Sunday and have had limited movements the last two days. Has anyone else experienced the same at this stage of pregnancy?

Can someone help me out with what recovery gift to get for my sister in law that is having her 4th scheduled c section? I want to buy her something helpful for recovery, because I know it can be much tougher to recover after multiple c sections. She had a tough recovery with her last baby too, but I am unsure what ...

I’ve already had a planned c section, but only got the date 2 days before. Had multiple appointment with consultants for various reasons so wondering how it works as my pregnancy is more straight forward this time

I’ve got my 36 week appointment with the consultant at the hospital tomorrow… what should I expect to be discussed? I have GD and hoping for some sort of loose birth plan to be put in place but not sure whether I’m going to get my hopes up for that and it not be discussed at all?! Anyone who has been consultant le...

I found out recently that I will more than likely need to be induced at 37 weeks due to health reasons during this pregnancy and i’m a FTM, I’ve never experienced a labor or birth and everything i keep seeing is scary about induction. Does anyone have any good stories about being induced around 37th weeks or just in...

Hi everyone, I’m currently 9 weeks pregnant and my anxiety is through the roof! I’ve been feeling nauseated for the past couple of days, however, now for the last day or two I feel completely fine. Is it normal to feel no symptoms at all, all of a sudden?

This might sounds crazy, but can doctors secretly give you hysterectomy during emergency c section?? I had emergency c section 20 months ago. I had lost so much blood as well. It was the worst recovery I’ve ever had. I didn’t know how to pee, i had to do bladder trail training with catheter, possible kidney infectio...

I’ve been hearing different thing about the optimal position for baby to be born. I know if they are head down and facing our spine is better for delivery, but in my NCT classes the teacher actually said that the spine of the baby should be on the left/right so the baby would almost be lateral to us… I’m a bit confu...
