Just looking to gauge how much your babies move! Sounds like an odd question but my boy moves constantly. His arms and legs are going all the time. I can't remember my eldest moving this much. Obviously he does have moments of stillness but whenever he is laid flat or he's in a bouncer, his arms and legs are moving ...

I'm seriously struggling. I've cried on the phone. Everything I eat or drink resurfaces. Anti sickness isn't helping and every home remedies isn't touching the surface. I have a 21month old who I feel terribly guilty for cause she's been at nursery all day and I'm here in bed shaking like a leaf. I had HG in my last...

I’m sure that we’re all feeling the same to some degree but ngl I’m really struggling and I would love to know how everyone else is coping with everything but especially the lack of sleep?

I’m 19+4 and haven’t yet felt movements from baby. I get the odd flutter sensation but this lasts seconds and isn’t regular. I have my scan tomorrow which hopefully will show everything is okay. Is anyone else the same? When did you first feel your baby move?

Last night I couldn't get to sleep which is new for me. Woke up and napped until late. Feeling really nauseous. Feel like I could cry at any moment which is new for me I've been really chilled this whole time. No actual signs of labour, but part of me hopes this is a sign its coming soon.

My belly has constantly been period like cramps today and then on and off tightenings…is this the start or baby moving further down?

Is it normal to only ever feel kicks on ride side? Mainly my right ribs. It’s never been the left. 31 weeks pregnant.. I was told I have fibroids and now I’m over thinking if they have grown huge and baby has limited room 🙈x

I’ve just been told I have pelvic girdle pain after weeks of not being able to sleep and feeling so fed up. I’m 30 weeks now and definitely leaning towards an elective section to have a date to work towards and to know that baby won’t come late 😅. Has anyone had the same situation? Was also planning to work up to…

Has anyone else got back pain and mild stomach pain? I keep getting so worried I’ve lost it 😢 this is my 1st baby so I have no idea what to expect, I’ve got no bleeding but I’m so worried this pain isn’t normal

I’m 7+2 and for the last few days experiencing severe cramps and stomach pains. I’m a teacher and had to leave my class today as I was getting a really bad cramp along with sweating and faintness. Doctors just told me to take paracetamol. Can’t self refer to EPU- gp referral only. Should I wait it out?

Waking up super hungry during pregnancy, but still having the energy to bake mini loaves. Good morning! Made Lemon Cheesecake and Blueberry Banana loaves.

Did anyone notice their movements get lower down their tummy closer to due date, maybe because baby has engaged? Scared that baby has turned breech, 39 weeks tomorrow.

Anyone else walks everyday with a newborn? I feel guilty he ain't in home comfort although the pushchair is like.a moses basket

I’m 37 + 5 at the moment and since last night i’ve been feeling really bad period pain like cramps. They don’t feel like contractions as they don’t come and go but they are constant. Is this a sign of labour?
