It’s my birthday tomorrow.

Ok so I am going to be 35 years young. I can’t believe how much this life has thrown at me but it’s okay I’m a survivor. I am truly blessed to be alive. 🥳🧁🎂 The only downside is I won’t be celebrating my birthday because my man can’t take me out. So many emotions right now.

Can you ring anyone else to go with? You don’t have to celebrate your bday w your man 💁🏻‍♀️ it’s not about him, it’s about YOU. I will find a way to celebrate my bday and you should too. Why should you have a shitty and unmemorable birthday because HE can’t take you out?

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday 🎂

Enjoy your birthday 🎉🎂. If you would like to do something and your partner can't take you can you go out with family instead or ask him to book something for just you to make up for it like a massage, hair/beauty treatment etc

What’s he going to do if you go out anyway?
You’re a grown woman- tell that man child to watch the kids and don’t bother you while you’re out!

You Better Have a Happy Birthday Mama!! 🎉❤️💐

Ummm firstly happy birthday! And secondly, what do you mean he does not allow you to go out with anyone without him present??? You are a grown adult and should be able to do whatever you want. This sounds like abusive and controlling behavior.....

At least now he’s getting a little car so I can keep the truck. He’s already been bringing up the drama from our past.

Telling me that he can track me wherever I go.

@Hannah Honey, I believe I speak for any woman who sees what you're saying when I say you need to divorce/break up with him! Please consult a lawyer ASAP. Document all evidence that you can. Next time he says things like this to you, record him. Though keep in mind that you have to have verbal permission before making an audio or video recording of someone so if he denies permission, you won't be able to record him. It's a bull**** law unfortunately. But nonetheless I still highly recommend you consult a lawyer.

Happy Birthday 🎂

Will I be induced if I keep having episodes of reduced movements?

I’m currently 36+5 and have been in 4 times so far with reduced movements. I have low PAPP-A so have been advised to keep an eye on movements but now that I’m getting closer to term I’m worried about being induced. This is my second baby and with my first I went naturally at 39 weeks, so an induction scares me! Obviously I want what’s best for the baby but I feel like I’m talking myself out of going into triage again just incase they suggest an induction! Has anyone else experienced an induction due to reduced movements?

2 Under 3

Hello everyone. I have a son who was born April 5, 2024... And I just found out that I am pregnant with baby number 2, but little bean is also due in April 2027. For those of you that have kids born in the same month, how do you handle or prepare for this?

Baby not rolling belly to back at 14 weeks old

Anyone else? My first born was doing it by now.

Baby head down and engaged

This is my second pregnancy and I’m 37+2 (due 5th Oct). I got told at my midwife appointment baby is engaged. Can this mean labour could come soon?

42 weekers only please

I am 42 +1 today. I still am measured at 1cm
and 50% effaced. Everything looked great on scans. I can’t remember with my previous pregnancies how dilated I was before birth. How dilated were you before active labor?

Referred to fetal medicine

Looking for some similar stories please. I’m 26+2 weeks and I’ve been having growth scans every 2 weeks because the baby is measuring small (especially her head). Following my growth scan today, the fetal medicine unit have called asking me to go in for a specialist scan. The woman scared the life out of me on the phone saying it could be chromosome issues etc. has anyone had any experience with this?
