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?

Anyone else randomly started feeling nauseous last few days - 37 weeks now 🤢

Has anyone else felt like this? For the past week I’ve had on and off nausea feels like I’m in first trimester again! Baby moving fine, I am a little constipated and on iron but the sickness has hit like a ton of bricks!

Last two days I’ve had terrible lower back pain and soreness/aching. It’s like when I get back ache before my period but a bit more intense. Pain killers and a hot water bottle take the edge off. I thought it might mean my period may be coming but I am combi feeding so not sure how soon a period will come. Nothing t...

When have people started showing? I’m 14 weeks and barely have a bump. Sometimes I think it’s there and others my stomach still looks quite flat. So I’m nervous!

Im trying to rule out if epidural leaves back pain a few days after birth or it’s from how positioned I was in the hospital beds or something else 🤔 someone help me!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant, and have a 15 month old at home. I have been getting some pregnancy symptoms but it feels different this time, so far I'm not feeling as bad as before. It's worrying me, any reassurance that this has happened to others? I worry that there is something wrong with the baby. Thanks

Hey guys I’m 7 months postpartum and I got a epidural and ever since then my mid back has been aching ever since. Every morning I wake up with a stiff and achy back and not much is helping advice?

I’m 34 weeks 4 days pregnant. Since, last night my baby is not moving as much as he does normally. I also had pain in my belly twice. Maybe I’m just panicking… does this ever happen to any of you?

Is your baby walking yet?

Has anyone had a trapped nerve in their neck while being pregnant? Shooting pains up into head?

Have you had any cravings so far? I am surprised because apart from drinking litres of elderflower cordial I've had none yet! You?

Currently 15 weeks and recently I think I’ve started to feel some very slight movements, just tiny flutters. This is my third pregnancy after two early miscarriages so I have no idea if it’s just my mind playing tricks on me as I’m so desperate to feel something to have that reassurance. Has anyone else had this exp...

Does anyone else’s baby flap their arms vigorously when they get excited??
