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 ...

Rolling front to back

My baby started rolling front to back when placed on his tummy at around 4mths but then stopped as soon he could roll back to front. He now loves rolling from back to front and has started doing this in his cot as well. He’s no longer interested in rolling to his back … even when frustrated on his tummy. Any tips?

Change in movements

Hey! Currently 36+3 and have change in movements. I get baba is running out of space and won't move as much but I'm overthinking and worrying about monitoring my movements, I feel like they are reduced but not sure if they are?

Anyone nauseous?

Just recently started feeling nauseous. I dont know if it’s stress related or if there’s something wrong with me or If It’s what I ate? Do hormones trying to return to normal do that?? I’m overthinking. Please help.

Baby #3, soon to be two under twoish.

About 5weeks and I’m nervous. Today I wiped and there was some light brown discharge. I’m hoping it’s just implantation bleeding… 😮‍💨😮‍💨 I thought I was pregnant months ago but it was a late period. Maybe it didn’t take. So I’m nervous about this one. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 anyone ever have the spotting and be fine?
