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...

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?

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 ...

I’ve always had the odd twinge / pull pain if I stand too quick or move awkwardly but it’s more prominent the past couple of weeks. I am overweight so I’m sure th...
