HELP!!

This is my first pregnancy and I have a million questions!! My main concern I guess is not showing much at 23 weeks pregnant, is this normal? Also what can I do to help with lower back pain when laying down??

Super normal for your first, baby will pop soon. Getting a pregnancy pillow is probably the best thing you can do. & Prenatal stretches. Best advice I can give you is SLEEP. Sleep your days away! Enjoy eating at your own pace! Sleep MORE! Do all the me time stuff you love. Face masks and (warm not hot) baths. Go for a swim. Do your eyebrows before you give birth! Good luck! ❤️

I’m 30 weeks, didn’t start showing till around 26-27 weeks.

It's normal, some people just don't show til the end. I have two kids and didn't show til my 8th month for both. Just get some rest, switch to your side so the weight isn't always on your back.. Try stretching a bit and a back rub might help..

Thanks everyone for your recommendations 🫶🏼

Since sleeping on my side really started to hurt after a while I used a pregnancy pillow and orthopedic body pillows so I could sleep on my back elevated. It helped me soooo much, especially further on in my pregnancy

11 weeks pp and pregnant?!

Im absolutely shitting myself, me and my partner have been so carefull (we use condoms and he also pulls out) but im late on my period and i cant get to the shop for a few days due to no car and im thinking im possibly pregnant. When i was pregnant before the animals were different the dog became more protective of me and the cat hated me and always tried to bite me. and they have recently been the same. Im trying to think if i have any possible early symptoms so i can convince myself im not 😂 the only thing i have is feeling sick alot and nauseous lol.
what was everyones first symptoms when you’ll were pregnant???

Is this dress yes or a no?

We are going to Japan for 3 weeks in July and 13 of those days we are on a cruise. There is a bunch of formal nights and formal events and for some of them I’m doing a 80’s glam theme. I already got the dresses for those but I’m looking for some fun and fancy dresses that aren’t vintage also. I’ve been eyeing this particular dress for MONTHS. I kind of love it, but I think it might also be too weird 😆. What do you think?

34+4 labour?

First time pregnancy..

Pain in lower back.. losing mucus plug every couple of days and I’m having very frequent b/Hicks and pain in belly and tops of legs…

Could this be start of labour?

Leaking waters?

I’m 35 weeks today wooo but… every morning for the past two weeks I’ve woken up with a palm sized water mark in my pants! - no smell, no pain and unaware of it happening…

I thought it might be leaking waters so got it checked out but the midwife said it was might be urine/watery discharge! - but it’s still happening.. thoughts? 💭🫶🏻

Pelvic girdle pain and birth

I have been experiencing awful pain. More so recently. I'm now using crutches to get around but it's more painful at night and when I lay down or sit down. I'm worried about birthing. I've got other issues and baby boy is estimating 8pounds at 36 weeks. I've been booked in for an induction 9 days prior to my due date. Surely he's going to be even bigger and I just don't feel like I've had any birth discussions in detail really. Ive only seen midwife twice and each time I've seen a consultant it's someone different. Has anyone else experienced awful pelvic pain and birthed a big baby?
