I’m naturally petite but this is my 3rd baby and I’m 15 weeks. My bump is really big I look possibly 25 weeks! Now wondering how huge my bump will be when I get to that stage! I managed 2 pregnancies with no stretch marks and want the same this time🙈 I was trying to do the bed the other day and my husband said “let…

I'm 35 weeks and I just don't know what to do anymore; I'm at my wit's end. I get it every week at this point. Is anyone else having this problem?😭

Been feeling rubbish since I woke up today. Tired. Headache, and then vomiting. Headache improved after I vomited, it's almost gone now, but I just feel awful. Thought I was meant to be past the vomiting at 17 weeks 😭

I’ve had a whooshing heartbeat sound in my left ear for a few weeks that the GP said was pulsatile tinnitus due to increase blood volume. It’s driving me pretty nuts! Anyone else had this / anything helped?

Just wondering if anyone else is super tearful. I am crying all the time, I just want my husband to understand the pregnancy and how tough it really is but he seems to think I can just do everything as normal. I feel absolutely exhausted, especially with low iron and just can’t hack it anymore. 32 weeks

I’m 5 days late and so bloated and feel nauseous every morning, I have taken a test and the line is the opposite way ? Any advice on why

Me and my partner had unprotected sex around ovulation. A week later for two days sometimes when I wiped I had brown clumps. My period then started but it's incredibly watery. My sense of smell has heightened, I feel nauseous at random times of the day, usually in the morning and then again around 4pm. I haven't t...

I woke up Friday early hours to a cramp in my calf, it's now Sunday and it still really hurts! No amount of stretching is taking it away, is it normal for it to still hurt 2 days later??? Joys of pregnancy 🥲

Felt really good today and wanted to finally share a photo of my bump. Haven’t been taking many photos because my mental hasn’t been the greatest. But today marks 37 weeks and I feel so good! Feel free to share your bumps too!!

Almost 26 weeks pregnant and have felt a pretty constant pressure/ tightness of abdomen. Not really measurable by 5-1-1 rule because the dull pain has been there for about 5 hours but getting stronger. No pain in lower back/ pelvis area. Also baby is moving WAY more than normal.

My boy doesn’t ever hold on to me when being carried. I noticed other babies do? Though when he’s in the car seat/ pram or baby carrier he always holds on to the straps which we joke about!

Anyone else getting quite sore hips from sleeping on your side at night? I'm waking up to roll over and switch sides every hour or so from the pain. Any suggestions as to what can help?

Hi everyone, can anyone shed light on their experiences with the latent stage of Labour? I’ve had a sweep on Friday 18th and been on off cramping with belly tightenings, lost my plug yesterday morning and now this morning really noticeable lower back pain and mild period pain. Also feel like I really need to use th...

Does anyone feel that they have joint pain in their feet/ankles since giving birth? Some days I really struggle with it and it hurts to walk.

Is anyone still getting stomach pains, I never had this with my first baby. It comes in waves but the pain is horrendous when it does. Still not had first period but that’s expected as breast feeding. Antone else experienced this 🙁

My little boy is very congested and snotty. We have saline spray and the frida snot sucker which is helping slightly but he is still very congested and struggling especially when lying down. I’ve seen a humidifier can be useful, has anyone had any success with one? Any other tips would be appreciated! TIA xxx
