Has anyone started their periods again?

I’m six week pp and I finished bleeding around 4 weeks. Which I was surprised at as all my sister bled for 6 weeks. Anyway I’ve started to have spotting when I wipe and pink steaks of blood. Could this be the start of my periods return or is it likely to be pp bleeding still?

Bartholin cyst

Anybody had one of these? Where do they usually appear? I have like a golf ball size on the inside of vaginal entrance but it’s not painful. Got awful stomach ache though with it but I’ve read mixed things that the cysts are on the inside, then they’re to the side under the lips. I’m just trying to rule out what it ...

8 weeks

For the past week and a half I’ve felt the worst that I’ve ever felt. I feel so poorly, my nose is congested and I can’t eat anything or put anything next to my nose. I’m barely getting any sleep. I’m so drained and I just feel so sick.

Bleeding in pregnancy

Hi all, Has anyone had bleeding whilst being pregnant? I’ve been bleeding for nearly 2 weeks now whilst pregnant. Midwife’s haven’t checked my pad and have told me not to worry but I’m literally panicking and worried I’m losing my baby.

Tightening all day, but not sure if labor is close. Should I wait or get induced?

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…

Painful feet after having a baby

Has anyone else experienced this? I had sore feet during pregnancy but the pain seems to just be getting worse. Once I’m up and about it’s fine but when I first get up it’s pretty painful.

Should I have seen my mucus plug?

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?!
