My beautiful baby boy born 10am yesterday morning, 17th May 2024, weighing 3.2kg.

So ladies i got the dreaded call yesturday to tell me my results come back high from the glucose test, so i have a meeting to attend on tuesday to go through it all.. my anxiety is through the roof right now, already have a fear of needles and blood and the thought of doing my levels by myself is terrifying me 😩😂…

So this morning at 4am i woke up went for a wee and had bright red bleeding when i wiped. I phoned 111 straight away and the doctor called me back a few hours later but by then the bleeding had lightened and has now eventually stoped. I had a scan booked for today which i went to and my baby is absolutely fine and h...

Our beautiful boy was born on his due date 13th May after quite a journey conceiving. The most magical feeling. On cloud nine for this wonderful experience 🤍

Hi everyone, Just looking for reassurance really. We just had our 20 week scan yesterday, and the sonographer told us she is pretty sure our baby has a club foot. This doesn't run in our families at all so it wasn't even on my radar as something that could be an issue, and it's left me a little bit scared and worri...

So this may sound daft 🙈 but how does everyone age there baby , so my little boy was born on the 23rd, that was a tuesday so is he a month on on the 23rd or this Tuesday coming 🙈🤣🤣

I'm exactly 40 weeks today. Lost some of my mucus plus on Wednesday. And today brownish blood like discharge. Do you think that's part of mucus plus too?

I’ve been posting lots about having zero signs of labour and feeling fed up! Had a sweep on Wednesday and only 1cm dilated. Yesterday at 41+1 I started with very mild cramps and felt like I needed to 💩. I ran a bath to help relax and whilst in there felt a pop - got out the bath and my waters had gone.…

Saw a post where people posted photos of their smiling babies... anyone else's baby not smiled yet. Mine is not quite 6 weeks.

Im 13 weeks, and have no appointments in the diary for a midwife apt. My next appointment is anomaly scan, I haven't actually seen the midwife once other than booking appointment. Its my second pregnancy, just wondering what others experience is?

Baby Hunter entered the world on 12/05/2024 2 days before his estimated due date. Woke up 00:50 with contractions and by 18:36 he’s was here with no induction. (Shocked myself and my midwife as it’s my first and he was here within 1:30mins in the pool). Mamas that have no signs of labour is near don’t worry I ha...

Includes picture of discharge ** Never had this like this before , is this something to be concerned about. Never had discharge like this ever.

Anyone else due in August that are planning a Homebirth? ☀️

Anyone else out there have 2 placentas?? 🤯🤯 Was told some women just grow an extra one, 2nd isn't attached to baby. Main one is on the back wall and the 2nd doing nothing is on the front wall just blocking me from feeling most my baby's movements. Main placenta is low lying as well so need extra scabs to see if it…

Hi, I’m wondering if anyone can help settle my nerves a little. I had a 20 week scan & they said they couldn’t see the heart properly went for a scan yesterday 23 weeks, they said there’s fluid around the babies heartbeat the largest pocket pool is 18mm. I’ve had absolutely no information and have got to wait until ...

I was so excited booking my 4d scan to see my twin girls tomorrow but after booking they told me they can’t allow me to have one as it’s against rules as they have to leave a 7 day window between each scan an as I have weekly nhs scans till birth they won’t be able to scan me an refunded me my money back. I feel v...

On my way to the hospital for an induction as I have PGP causing a lot of pain. My mum has been unsupportive since I told her I'm being induced even messaged me at 7am this morning to tell me to try and give birth naturally and wait the PGP pain out. I understand she's old school and in an ideal world I would have l...

I finished antibiotics 3 days ago due to my section being infected and noticed there’s a slight smell to it. Is it normal for it to smell?

Hi everyone, I was told at my 20 week scan that my placenta is fully covering my cervix. They didn't tell me much else other that it can move up as the uterus stretches. I've been booked for another scan at 32 weeks to check. Has anyone else had this before with past pregnancies? Does it really move?

I'm feeling so deflated I've just been for my private scan and they've put me back to 6 weeks. They could see the sac but no embryo yet 😢 I don't know what to think now 😢
