40 weeks today, feeling so deflated no signs of little man coming! No waters broken, no mucus plug gone, no contractions. Getting super depressed because I can't do anything as I have severe pgp. Have a sweep booked on Tuesday feeling so nervous as wanted as little intervention as possible, but because I'm so phys...

Hi mummas.. I’m 23+2 and a ftm. My little girl has a black belt in karate some days but seems to be a statue on other days with just a few flutters here and there. I know they say to call your midwife for reduced movement but I don’t feel as though it’s necessary, I think she’s just lazy sometimes. Because of the ...

Has anyone been prescribed anything for nausea?? I’m trying to just power through but feeling nauseous pretty much 24/7, only actually sick maybe once or twice a day which I can cope with, it’s just the nausea! I’ve tried soo many home remedies but nothing has helped, feeling a bit helpless at the moment, struggli...

I’m 13dpo, my period is due in 3 days. I just noticed a brownish blood in my underwear. I usually get period symptoms before my period and it’s usually bang on 28 days. How do I know if it’s my period or implantation bleeding? x

What are the symptoms of sepsis in a baby???

I’m a plus size ftm and I can feel my baby move but it can’t visibly see movement on my belly is this normal and how long does it take before you can actually see it

I’m unsure if this is normal but i’m my 3rd trimester and anytime I walk for more than 5 minutes it feels like a heavy bearing on my lower stomach. There’s a big pressure in my stomach and weirdly almost feels like the baby is getting ready to come out. The pressure only subsides when I sit down. I’m only 31 weeks s...

Anyone start gagging because of silliest things? I'll go first; roundabouts make me nauseous 😄

Hi, I’m 6 months PP and I started exercising about 2 months back but couldn’t stay consistent. After a month of not going at all I just started last week. I know losing weight will take time but I feel so demotivated by how little change I feel/see. I used to be a UK 8 and gained about 15kg during pregnancy and ca...

Hi all, I’m 19 weeks and have had developed an increased urgency to pee like constantly. Even after I’ve been I still feel like I’m bursting. The pain in my lower abdomen feels like when you’re desperate for a wee/period cramps, has anyone else had this? Wondering if it’s just baby/uterus putting pressure on my blad...

Anyone else just feel like they're running on empty? I asked for my bloods to get checked as I wasn't sure if I was lacking anything or just cause it's 3rd trimester. Bloods came back fine. They've not changed from the start. Which I was surprised about. All I want to do is sleep all day and night. I've got things I...

This is my second pregnancy and I don't know why baby's movements this time around are so painful. I do have a posterior placenta but I've been experiencing lightening crotch a lot earlier and the bigger moments have just been more painful. Is anyone experiencing this ? I'm also 34 weeks by the way. I still have a g...

Hoping to find some reassurance or similar stories! I have had a headache since Tuesday. I have seen midwife & various GPs but I’m still in pain. It’s like a tension headache with the pressure but also some fancy light show episodes of diagonal strips of light. My blood pressure is okay, no infections in urine & ...

This is probably tmi, but every time I go, I have an emance amount of pain. My baby is 3.5 cm dilated, and when I need poop it hurts. So I'm not sure if that's contractions, Braxton Hicks or if my baby's head is in the way. I get pain in my back and butt cheeks and in the front. Sometimes, even after I'm supposedly...

Anyone else still struggling with sickness? 12 weeks and can’t catch a break 😢 please tell me it gets better!

Tips to get the baby on the move ???

I'm 38+4 and today it'd like I'm being kicked in the ribs AND pushing right on my cervix. Like not lightening crotch more like she's trying to dig her way out. Weird thing it she doesn't feel that low in my pelvis when walking....its all just odd. Anyone else? 🤣

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it’s normal to be so tired at 16 weeks pregnant? Everything I’ve read seems to say in the 2nd trimester I should feel like my normal self but I’m more tired than I was in the 1st trimester. Has anyone else experienced this?
