Has anyone else experienced sharp stretching pains on one side of the lower abdomen alongside loose stools? I phoned the antenatal department and she told me to take paracetamol and if it doesn’t go away this evening to phone back. I can’t help but over worry after previous losses!

Has anyone had this while pregnant? If so do I need to let the midwives know or the doctors or will I be ok?

Anyone else’s LO hate being put down? My girl is only happy when I am holding her but with a toddler as well that’s not really possible.

My LB turned 5 months today and he still isn't rolling, he really wants to and really tries to but it's just not happening yet! How have you guys encouraged your babies to roll? We try and use toys and even ourselves and he makes the move to, gets about halfway and then either gets frustrated or just falls back into...

Anyone else had pains like that feel kinda like a period type contraction is the only way I can describe it. I’ve had them a few times over the last few weeks, but had them yesterday and this morning again. Trying to figure out if it’s just my toddler climbing all over me, or birth is soon? I’m due 25th X

I have really bad pain in my lower tummy/ pelvic area, my hips, my back and my knees. It’s not cramps or shooting pains, it’s really excruciating and hurts no matter what I’m doing unless I’m sitting or laying still. Even when I try to turn in bed the pain is so bad I could cry with the pain and when I am moving fro...

I feel like I’m on the countdown now, and I just can’t get into it. My productivity has slowed down and the motivation is gone. It doesn’t help I’ve extra appointments to monitor the baby which means I’m missing more work.

Hello, is anyone else experiencing vaginal pressure? I’m 8 weeks and 3 days pregnant, and the pressure and heaviness I feel in my vagina, especially at night, is quite intense. I had a scan, and the doctor said everything looks fine, but I can’t help feeling anxious because the pressure hasn’t lessened at all.

Anyone had problems with anal fissures? I'm 6 weeks PP and it everytime I think it's starting to get better there's more blood again when I wipe and it feels like pushing out glass. I'm not even constipated though..

I’ve been getting mild mild period pain and downward pressure since about 5:30am this morning every 10 minutes. I’ve had cramps the past few days (im 40+4 now) but nothing that felt like this, or nothing that was regular. Could this be a fluke or the actual beginning of labour? Did anyone else’s start like this? Xx
