Anyone else’s armpits smellin like sautéed onions?? When does it go away?? I NEVER smelled before and I used to be way more active and sweaty (working out, sauna, etc).

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

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...

How can I get motivated to work after being a sahm for so long 😩 I’m really dreading having to go

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 15 weeks along and my baby likely has t21 (95 on NIPT, two markers found on ultrasound.. will do amnio next week). This is my first baby and I feel so overwhelmed and scared. I’d love to talk to someone who’s been through it too.

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

First-time mom: I'm due on October 26th, and there are currently no signs of labor. The mucus plug is still intact, I haven't experienced a bloody show, and the baby is still positioned high. There's also no colostrum or any leakage from my breasts! 😂😂😂 However, my entire body is in pain. My pelvis hurts quite a…

Just ranting because I can’t sleep. Everyone told me that heartburn would stop once baby dropped. I’m officially past my due date, baby has dropped and somehow the heartburn is getting worse! I’ve tried Gaviscon and it didn’t help at all. I’m so ready for this baby to arrive 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyone else feel like their insides are being beat up by a kick boxer lol

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…

FTM here with completely unexpected pregnancy whilst taking contraception. My periods were really irregular then settled then obviously stopped. I did a clearblue digital that said 2-3 weeks which is apparently 4-5 weeks according to NHS but start of last period would apparently date me at 7 weeks! I have midwife ph...

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?

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

37 weeks 💕baby girl

Okay so I was wondering if anyone knows why my labor stalled as I still don’t know and lately it’s been on my mind a lot. Baby is nearly 1 so if I can’t let it go by now then I clearly need an answer 🤣 My waters went very early morning and I soon had contractions coming every minute lasting for a minute. My…

Does anyone else ever get a random zing in their epidural site?

i’m unfortunately in the process of miscarrying with my 2nd baby. i’ve never experienced something so traumatic, both physically and emotionally, in my life and idk how to feel. part of me didn’t want another baby, i wasn’t sure if i was ready, but now that i’m miscarrying i feel disgusting for ever feeling that way...

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...

Hi everyone! I’m 31 weeks and I’ve been experiencing nosebleeds everyday. Is it happening to anyone else? Not sure if it’s hormonal or weather change
