I recently found out I am pregnant at the age of 15 and decided to keep my baby, me and my Boyfriend have been together since we was 11 and he’s full supportive my only issue is my mum who doesn’t seem to want to be near me or my boyfriend and won’t even talk about the baby, what do I do?

Went for a wee this morning, went to wipe and saw this on the tissue. What is it please? I am 35+3.

Hi, in March our whole world turned upside down when my partner has sudden onset of phsycisos and experienced a sever manic episode and got sectioned to a mental health hospital. He has now been diagnosed with bipolar. I am struggling financially because he is only recovering SSP and my income only covers the bills ...

This is going to sound really stupid (😂) but how the hell do you do your birthing plan? Like I’ve never had a baby before & haven’t had antenatal classes. Last midwife apt was 30 weeks & I’ve got the consultant tomorrow (will be 36 weeks) so could be my last appointment feel like I should have some idea of what I…

Sorry it’s abit long…. So basically I have a cousin who I was very close with but now we hardly speak. I am older than her and practically grew up together. She has two children with this guy and they been together for 10 years. All she ever did was brag how good he was in bed blah blah but after so many months of ...

Throughout this pregnancy I’ve been really calm and collected. Now that I’ve reached the 30 week mark, it’s finally sinking in that I’m almost there and I’m starting to freak out. Any suggestions or anyone else feeling the same?

Is the pull out method less effective if you do the deed more than once in a night? This is rare these days with a baby but just want to make sure we’re covered 🫣

If you lived with your parents, would they charge you rent? My bf & I live with my parents and they charge us $700 a month. I don’t work and we’re struggling but they still charge us.

Everywhere says its import to take it for the first 12 weeks, do we then just stop taking it? I forgot to ask my midwife and im 12w+1

Sorry for all questions… brain is ticking this weekend… this may sound stupid, but if I have a shower at the hospital and wash my hair do they provide hair dryers or should I pack my holiday one? My hair always has to be dried and doesn’t take long to do

Is this safe to eat due to the fact the chicken is cold? Or is it safe because its been cooked throughout before being made up? 🤔 I'm sooooo confused lol 😆

Anyone else feeling tired ALL the time?? Before pregnancy I was going to the gym 4x a week, now I am lucky if I go once because I have no energy!

I’m nearly 32 weeks pregnant. My partner works the majority of the time and comes home late, My hours have been cut back at work due to sickness (due to go on maternity 15th June) which leaves me home alone A LOT. I don’t have a lot of friends due to having social anxiety and I’m feeling incredibly lonely and lost. ...

Hi all, Is there any ways to claim a bit more money while on Mat leave? I’ve tried applying for the sure start maternity grant but me and my partner are not on any type of benefit so not eligible, is there anything for people who aren’t on benefits of any kind, we’re struggling with money!

I was due on May 20th and she is NOT coming out 😭 Any tips on how you got your babies out? I swear we have tried everything we can think of (other than castor oil) and she just won’t budge

anyone else just constantly hungry? 😂 I heard it was a myth that whilst pregnant you’re eating for two.. but I honestly feel like that’s what I’m doing! I can eat a sandwich and crisps for lunch and then right after I’m ready for a second meal as if that’s mine and I’ve just had hers hahaha

Is it okay if I put rubber bands in her hair if I use oil before putting it in? She’s only 6 months so I try not to style it to much because of her soft spots but I wanted to know if it was safe

I’m aware there is a breastfeeding Version but have loads excess n wonder if they are ok

I thought about this a long time ago, but I know I'm not the first or only one to think of this. The key to any healthy relationship is communication, compromise, and commitment. Thoughts?

My SO and I rarely have sex anymore and I can’t figure out why. I’ve tried talking to him about it but the best answer I get from him is “I just don’t want to” Our relationship is great. We don’t fight much but it seems our sex life changed after our baby came. My body hasn’t changed much at all so I’m at a loss. Wh...
