So if you supposedly feel your baby moving where do you feel the kicks?

Did anybody have lower back pain consistently? Feels like that back ache you get while you're on your period! Just curious if this could a sign!!

I’m 35 weeks tomorrow. What are your remedies for heartburn/acid reflux? I have been having it on and off and usually Tums helped… not anymore.. this is the third night in a row when I’m unable to sleep because it’s so bad. I tried multiple things (pickle juice, diary, drinking cold water, Tums, laying on left side...

Anyone else shattered at night and going to bed pretty early but then waking up at like 4/5 in the morning (ie now) and can’t sleep? Feel like I’m never fully rested

At this point (36 weeks) I am so incredibly tired. I hear this is normal but I just want to check in. I can’t stay awake an entire day anymore, I do a little work and then feel worn out, and I feel overwhelmed with things I need to do. Anyone else feeling this way?

I had such a stressful day and this was the only thing that made me happy today. Now I feel bad for eating it, I hope baby will be fine. This is my first time to eat it during pregnancy and it is deep fried, however it was little bit on raw side 😟

So at around 10:30am I started getting pains that felt like period cramps. They started happening around every 10 minutes on average and lasting 30 seconds. Irs currently 12:30am the next day and im still getting them 10 minutes apart and they aren’t getting anymore painful. Is it Labour or is it just fake Labour? I...

8w5d. Is anyone else so nauseated and stopped up that their body can’t figure out which way to vacate things? For the last day or so I’ve been eating a ton of ice (I’m too nauseous to actually keep food of any nutritional value down) but the only way I can actually poop is when I’m vomiting. Whoever says pregnancy i...

Nothing tastes good I don’t know if it’s just me but I’m tired of spending money on food just to take two bites and it becoming repulsive

Anyone experiencing severe back pain in early pregnancy? I’m 10 weeks along and I literally can’t move or the right side of my upper back goes up in flames. Doctors said it might be a kidney infection but no symptoms so seeing if anyone else has this

Just wondering how anyone else might be coping with morning sickness that can actually occur at any time of day. Nurse told me to take 25mg of Vitamin B6 3x daily but that hasn’t helped at all. My cousin who had severe nausea was prescribed zofran. Not sure if this is the next step. How do you ladies cope — I have a...

I’m 36+2 and haven’t felt little one all day. I’m about to ring triage and he’s moved about 4 times in the last 10 minutes? Do I still ring as he is moving just not as much as before? My partner works nights so he’d have to leave work to take me…I’m stressed as we need the money and I don’t want him leaving work off...

My back is killing me currently I’m in my 3rd trimester and my lower back feels otherworldly, I can’t stand in the shower too long I can barely work or walk around my job I’m literally in excruciating pain

So I always knew I had PCOS growing up but it never bothered me enough to get it checked. My period was always every 6-7 weeks and 3-4 days long, had heavy flow the first day and it slowed down after. After I had my son, it was super irregular in terms of how often I got it and how long it stayed. December of 2023 w...

I’m due on Tuesday and no real signs or niggles that baby is on the way, just the occasional period like cramps. Was anyone else like this?

Has anyone gotten pregnancy while EBF?

My LO had her first birthday yesterday. Looking through the pics made me realize how my face has gotten pretty wide and droopy. I’m still breastfeeding and I am aware that my body is nowhere near pre pregnancy. But seeing the photos from the 1st birthday party made me realize I need to better take care of myself. I ...

How old does my baby look
