Maybe tmi but going to ask anyways 🤣…. I’ve had quick a bit of increased discharge over the past week and also when I wipe after having a wee it discolours the tissue… any ideas what this could be?

So I went for a wee just over an hour ago, when I wiped seemed extra wet so I put a pad on so I could just keep an eye on it. Just come for another wee and this is in my pad. Is it start of mucus plug? Whenever I’ve had discharge it’s been clear. Wiped again after my wee just and it’s clear. Been having a range of p...

My 6 week old won’t be put down. If she’s not on the boob she’s sleeping but only on me. She won’t lay on her back on her playmat or next to me. She will sleep in the pram when we’re out but I can’t just walk round everytime she needs a nap! She was 3 weeks early and currently suffering with thrush. I’m getting real...

Everytime i go for a poo it hurts really bad and then i wipe the tissue is bloody? what do i do 🙁

This morning when I went to the toilet when I wiped I had brown stringy like discharge. I called the EPU and they said it’s nothing to worry about unless you’re bleeding and soaking through a pad every hour. She said it’s probably old blood and could be to do with the placenta taking over. I’m 11 weeks. Although the...

Hi everyone, TMI but I don’t know how to differentiate what’s normal and what’s too much at this point as I always knew my first period would be heavy, but didn’t imagine it would be this extreme (or at least extreme to me). I’m changing pads every hour or less, when I wake up it’s literally like a tap (sorry, gross...

I know it’s normal for pregnant women to have a bit more discharge. I’m currently 20weeks, whenever I stand I feel like something is literally running down my vagina and when I check its normally white, creamy, odourless discharge. Has anyone else experience this ?

Evening ladies, last week I was prescribed a thrush pessary as I have it high up around my cervics. It didn't work as im still getting the snotty yellow discharge, do I get another one and I hope for the best or do I ask my gp what to do? ... its my first baby so I feel clueless

How old were your kiddos when they stopped believing in Santa. Does anyone have ten year olds that still believe? Im pretty sure I ruined Santa for my daughter at she 8 😔I feel like I stole something from her and myself.

Hi all, I’m five weeks pregnant and just realised I’ve had a tiny bit of greyish brown discharge. Not fully brown in colour not fully grey but a mix of the two. Is this normal?

This is gonna sound like such a stupid question but can you use the cream that you insert inside for thrush in pregnancy? Or is it best to take the oral tablet?

So on Tuesday I had a blood test at the ER because of light spotting/bleeding my hcg was 115 point something and then on Friday I went back because the bleeding has changed from a like purplish pink to a red they did another blood test and a pelvic exam. My hcg came back as 63 and they said during my pelvic exam my ...

Hi mama’s. I’m having my 6-week post partum check with the GP tomorrow. Just wondering what forms of contraception everyone chose and what was most effective following your pregnancy? I was on the combined pill pre-pregnancy. Also wanted to know if there were any non-hormonal options apart from the coil?

I’m 21 weeks pregnant, just went toilet and when I wiped I saw this. I currently do have a cold and 2 days ago I did go for a check up because I was having greenish discharge. I don’t want to jump straight to the scary part so I’ve been thinking could it be coz I have a cold and possible infection, could it be an in...
