Does anyone have really crazy dreams to the point where you wake up crying?

Every ince in a while I would have a nightmare and wake up hot with my eye vision flashing. Google says flashing or changes in vision could indicate preeclampsia, but it lasts about 30 seconds before I realize it was just a nightmare and deep breathing. I’ve told myself it’s probably because my blood pressure got h...

Sigh, day 3 now and it’s painful. I know it’s just an ‘estimate’ but you spend 9 months with this date in mind and every day post 40 weeks is a ‘is this the day’. Can’t believe it’s only been three days but my gosh it’s a lot. have a toddler so relaxing is kinda out the question. I’ve tried to keep busy with his ...

3 week old baby was EBF, then combi fed but now just formula fed as of two days ago due to breast issues. We’re using Kendamil formula but worried it like a large amount of mucus?

Anyone else feeling their bump/pelvis is super achey and stretchy at 18 weeks? Feel as though I’m hobbling around already.

So fed up of feeling like this. I am so nauseas and exhausted, vomiting most days. I feel blank like I have no personality. I want to feel like myself again. Currently 9/40.

In mat leave and trying to get the house sorted before baby arrives in a couple of weeks. Only doing bit at a time but feels like I'm working up a sweat doing simple tasks. Is this me coming down with something or just pregnancy telling me to slow down? Neighbours probably think I'm mad with windows open 🤣

Might not be the best video of what she does, since she isnt doing it like normally but its the only video i got. But ut she keeps stomping on things.. like she holds on to something and then stomps on it with 1 foot. She started doing it on her friends aswell and i got no idea why. Obviously i tell her off for doin...

Hello July Mamas! Did anyone here have an epidural and is anyone having issues with their back 3 months on? I had an epidural on 26th July and 12 weeks on I'm having major pain in my lower back where the epidural went in. The area is still sore to touch and the pain feels like a ball stuck in my back (only way to ...

Does anyone have a small bump? I’m 30 plus 1 and have maybe put on a few lbs but that’s about it! I’m only 5foot so not sure if this is why, baby is having growth scans as they say his small (not surprised) I’m normally slim also, like you can tell I’m pregnant if I have tight clothing on but as soon as I’m wearing ...

I’m just 5 weeks and I’ve completely lost my appetite. The thought of eating most food is now off putting especially chicken and eggs 🤢. Is anyone else having food aversions yet?

Does anyone else’s baby pull their job over their face and hold it there while kicking their legs around? My baby has been doing this a few weeks so now I don’t let her wear a bib but now she has started doing it with her clothes or if she’s laid on her play mat she will pull it over her face and kick around. I’m no...

20 W 4 days pregnant & I can’t sleep at all this is my second pregnancy & I just feel so restless this time around 🤦🏻‍♀️ !! It is currently 3:01 AM EST btw

My baby is 6 months next week and my body feels worse than it did when I was pregnant. I wake up every morning with aches and joint pain even in my fingers! Just feel exhausted! Is this normal? Does anyone else suffer? I also still get numbness where he was in my ribs! Feel like I’m going to feel like this forever!

I’ve been having nausea for a while now but early hours today I was actually sick & I’ve got a really bad upset stomach, I slept on the bathroom floor most of the night. Normally I just suck it up & go into work I never take time off but I work in a specialist school & don’t feel I could even do the drive to work, y...

I know this is going to sound really bizzare because other than the sickness and sore boobs. I physically don’t feel pregnant.. Like I’d expect to be feeling ‘something’ in my uterus? I know they’re still so tiny but I get so paranoid about MMC even after seeing baby’s hb🥺

I have been cramping literally all day . I can’t even sleep or lay down . It literally won’t go away , tried to lay down and rest but I can’t even lay down without getting up and sitting up . I just don’t want to go for nothing . My girl is moving perfectly fine ( matter fact a little too much )

Anyone else had an epidural and still has back pain weeks later from delivery? I had the epidural 6 weeks ago and still have a very tender/ painful area in my spine they did the epidural

Has anyone experienced this and come out the other side? It’s really affecting my sleep and I just want to know if or how I can get better. I’m laying wide awake for hours at night desperate to sleep. I don’t actually feel like I’m particularly worrying about anything specific, but I just can’t switch off. Is there ...

I'm 22 weeks with my first baby and not got movement yet. I potentially have flutters but not sure if they are in my head. I think they say to contact midwife if you've not felt movement by 24 weeks but I'm worrying. My placenta is posterior. Is anyone else the same?
