Tightness

Anyone experience tightness every so often through the day lasts 30/60 seconds. My chest gets tight and harder to breath. I am only 26 weeks pregnant

I'm pregnant and have been experiencing bad heartburn for the past few hours. The burning is in my chest and throat, and it started after I ate tacos last night and lay down on my right side. I had to sit up because it was burning so badly. I also experienced some chest pressure earlier, although the pressure has stopped. The burning is still there and hasn't improved. What should I d

Rib pain

I’m 28 weeks pregnant and for the past 2 weeks have been experience a lot of rib pain. Sometimes it’s on the front, sometimes on the back and sometimes all over. It can be so uncomfortable / sore at times that it catches my breath and feels like a constant ache.

I think it helps sometimes if I lie down on the opposite side, I’m not sure if it’s the baby’s position or stretching to make room. This is my first pregnancy, does anyone have experience with this type of pain? Any advice on easing would be great!

Cyclizine Hydrochloride

Hi guys! Ive been suffering with really bad sickness even now at 17 weeks. Has anyone tried cyclizine for sickness and were the side effects bad? On the leaflet it does say not suitable for pregnant women but my dr has prescribed this to me

Vulva pain

Hey! I’m 30 weeks with my third, I’ve been having vulva pain! Like when I wee, it hurts but not like a uti, feels so heavy and swollen but looks normal, keep getting a throbbing sensation too

Strong kicks

I’m 21 weeks it’s my second pregnancy
Baby boy has very strong kicks I can feel him from the outside
Any other Mumma’s got strong kicks in their second pregnancy ?

Crazy fatigue

Does anyone else feel completely exhausted after literally walking for 5 min? I used to walk loads, and now even when I slow down I don’t have enough energy to walk more. I had all these plans to keep exercising throughout my pregnancy but it doesn’t seem possible atm. Maybe that gets better later? For context, I’m 6 weeks pregnant.

Anyone else 33 weeks pregnant with bad nausea

Up until I was 15 weeks I had nothing, no nausea, no sickness, nothing. Since 15 weeks onwards I’ve had nothing but nausea, I’ve tried anti-sickness meds and nothings helped.

muscles aching

my shoulder (the left one) is aching, I don’t think it’s an ectopic pregnancy, i’m not bleeding, all my tests are still coming back positive, but i’m scared still, i’m getting cramps but it’s all over my stomach, not just one place, can anyone put me at ease 🙁

Update; I went to a&e - essentially i had gaslit myself into having the shoulder pain, they did bloods and urine, my hcg levels are over 300 and going up nicely apparently! thanks for the comments ❤️

Is anyone else still tired?

Lower back pain, anyone else?

Hi ladies, need some advice please!

I am 5wks 5 days with my first baby and everything is giving me anxiety and it's nice to see I'm not alone there.

I have since yesterday got terrible lower back pain. It's when I move mostly or scrunched up.

Google is telling me it's normal but I haven't seen or heard anyone talking about it this early.
I have mild period cramps now and again, no bleeding, feel a little nauseous and exhausted.

Has anyone else had this?

3 weeks pp

Is the feeling something not quite right down there a prolapse or still swelling from birth?

Cramps at 5 weeks? Is that normal?

Hey girlies! I’m 5 weeks pregnant with my first and I’ve had cramps ever since I thought I was going to start my period, so it’s been around 4 weeks. The cramps can occasionally be painful. Perhaps once every two days I’ll have a cramp that lasts 10 seconds but it would be 8/10 in terms of pain, but other than that it would be between a 2/10 and a 4/10. It feels unusual because usually I’d only experience them for a week, but having them so often and for so long feels almost exhausting and draining, even though they’re not so painful. What has made me write this post is that fact that a) Google says women often times don’t experience symptoms at this stage. And b) I’ve been watching a few vlogs and I haven’t yet come across someone who has experienced cramps at this stage.. so please send across some advice or reassurance, it would be much appreciated 🥰

Kicks at 20 weeks pregnant.

I’m 20 weeks pregnant today with my second baby, i haven’t really felt much movement in this pregnancy which is abit strange, i’ve felt the odd kick or flutter but that’s all is it normal to feel like this it. I do have a scan tomorrow to check everything is okay. last pregnancy i had scans but i’ve only had about 3 in this pregnancy as i went away for 2 week so my next one is tomorrow. just want to be reassured that everything is okay because i stress myself out all the time 😩 xx
