I’m 39 weeks today and I’m not sure if I’m experiencing reduced movements or if the baby’s movements are restricted by her size. Has anyone else experienced this as well??

I’ve had cramps for the last couple of days, and they’re not too bad, but making me feel a bit miserable and anxious that something could be wrong.

Period-style cramps, boobs hurting and backaches

What is going on with my body today? I’m trying not to get my hopes up but is this early-ish labor? I woke up with period-like cramps and my boobs are killing me.

Restless leg syndrome

I'm 30 weeks and have had the worst RLS at night before falling asleep since 28 weeks. At first compression socks helped! Now they don't at all :( I've tried every size/compression there is. Last night I tried a bath and heating pad and that failed too. Anyone else have this? What works for you?

Does anybody else rage when they’re pregnant and their snacks are eaten by little gremlins?

I’m temporarily living with my mother. I have three siblings who are under the age of 10 and two kids under the age of 7. I never know which child is eating the snacks because out of the 5 there’s 3 that would be the culprit. 1 being my daughter. My son would ask before ever taking. I’m pregnant and I have a strong ...
