21w with twins. I have a lot of back pain already because they hang lower, but these munchkins are only 12oz each. They’re supposed to be 5lbs each by the time I deliver. I used to have lower back pain and it’s been moving up into my mid back. Any recommendations on pain relief? Better stretching, pregnancy belt, ...

I’m just wondering if anyone reads to bump. I’m 17 weeks and I’ve been told that it’s quite good to read to your bump to get baby a little more used to the sound of your voice. Sorry if this seems silly, just thought it interesting if anyone else does this. I’ve started reading Winnie the Pooh to bump.

I feel like it’s too early to be complaining and feeling so awful. But I am SO beyond uncomfortable. My abdomen is so tight and heavy, my public bone hurts. My thighs hurt. My legs hurt. And I’m not even on my feet all day. I feel so heavy. I can’t turn or bend over ! Idk how I’m supposed to grow any more the next 1...

Hey ladies. I'm pregnant 36+ 4 and I'm so exhausted and uncomfortable 😫 I have a 2 and a half year old and I'm struggling alot with keeping him entertained and happy as I'm just so worn out. He's had a lot more screen time than normal the last few weeks and I feel terrible about it. The guilt is real. Anyone else?…

I have been experiencing thrush on and off through the last couple months of my pregnancy. Every time I use thrush cream and it goes away, it seems to come back a few days after and I can’t seem to get rid of it. Does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of it please!! Thankss so much

I gave birth on the 12th September vaginally, and bled for an about 14 days after on and off after. Today I’ve starting bleeding again- wondering if this my period or still postpartum bleeding? Anyone had similar?

I am 13wks 3days and other than getting tired after 2pm. I have no other symptoms anymore. Should I be worried? I’ve barely had nausea the past week or two. And I no longer have the insomnia I had earlier on. My belly is not very big and I feel like I have pregnancy imposter syndrome right now. Ugh.

This pregnancy exhaustion is really getting to me. With my firstborn son I was able to stay awake and get things done the last 8 weeks but with this pregnancy (girl-31 weeks) I’m falling asleep all the time. At work, home, visiting family, ect. I will just completely knock out. And no matter how much sleep I get I’m...

Hi ladies! I'm 22+1 and have an anterior placenta. I'm sure I have probably felt little kicks over the last week or so but think I've unintentionally assumed they were just wind or something🤣 but I'm 99% sure I've just seen some kicks as I was sunbathing and watching my belly, and I think I could feel them slightly…

Coming up to 16 weeks and my back is in BITS!! Is anyone else experiencing bad back ache? ☹️

Anyone else just overwhelmed having to constantly entertain your baby. Sometimes I just don't have the energy and I feel guilty that I'm not doing enough with him. My baby doesn't smile a lot so it makes me think he's unhappy and bored all the time. It's just a struggle having to be happy and entertain your baby 24/...

I don't remember cramps like this with my first they don't last long they come and go i am 4 weeks can I take paracetamol?

Hey! Wanting some experiences, I am 28 and I am pregnant first ever pregnancy. And I am a dress size 28/30 this wasn’t planned but very happy! I’m 23 weeks and still feel no movement at all but I do carry all my weight in my stomach and legs. If you’re plus size when did you feel the baby move? I’m worried I’ll neve...

Is anyone else experiencing a lot of lower stomach pressure when moving around or just in general?

I'm currently 18 weeks with my first baby. When do you start to notice movement (punching/kicking etc) and patterns? Does it happen once the bump gets bigger?
