That clear blue has two lines that I can see, I think you’re pregnant?

I had really bad cramps at the beginning of my pregnancy as I thought it was period but with no blood or discharge, I took a test and it came back positive. You should retest in the morning and see what the test says but I think you’re pregnant 😊

thats the ovulation test

i really hope not. I have a 1.5 year old and a almost 4 month old😅😭

aww bless you! You never know you might just be ovulating, just make sure to have safe sex until the ovulation test comes back negative and retest to make sure you’re not pregnant.

You can have cramps with ovulation, period or pregnancy. This is why symptoms are terrible and not to be trusted

It might be a positive result. When I had my first I had bad cramping especially on one side during implantation. I would wait a week and check again just in case xx

oh I didn’t know clear blue did ovulation tests

Your pregnancy test has 2 lines mama expect #3 🥴 wishing you the best and feel better!! I have a 2.5 yo and a 7 month old

The top one is the pregnancy test and the bottom is ovulation

no the test line on a ovulation test need to be really dark ...darker than the control line to be a positive ovulation result...her tests are both negative

So this is completely unrelated to ovulation, but I felt the need to comment to offer some alternative perspective!

A couple years ago I started getting super bad cramps. They ended up getting so strong that I would be curled in fetal position on the floor just wishing for any sort of relief. I ended up going to the ER and the dr tried to pass it off as period cramps (!!!!!!), but after insisting on further testing I was diagnosed with a severe UTI that needed antibiotics 😬

Not at all trying to diagnose, just came to say that if you’re even kind of worried I would bring up the cramping with your dr.

Hope you feel better soon!

I would get it checked out by your doctor! It never hurts to be sure and advocate for your self! You know your body if it’s not pregnancy or period go get some answers!

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Fatigue

I had a GP (it was a woman) tell me she’s never heard of fatigue or exhaustion in the first trimester and that my body shouldn’t be tired from “making a few cells” - she asked if I was depressed and if I wanted to keep the baby/if it was planned and was kinda blaming me on not getting out of bed enough. I’m usually a very busy person, who is always on the go. All my bloods have been coming back okay, but the exhaustion is next level. I said it just feels like I’ve had the flu for the last 6 weeks. She said well is it the flu? That I should be energised and never heard of women being so exhausted before. She was very rude and just feels like it’s my fault I feel this way.
