Sleep

Can anyone else not lie on their right side? Lying on my right side is so painful so it makes sleep so hard I end up sitting up instead😂

I thought you're supposed to sleep on your left anyway? 😊

You are, you can sleep on your right side though, sleeping on your right is way better than flat on your back but left is best for blood flow. But the right side is ok too! X

I'm comfiest on my right. Right is always better than back but left is ways optimal. My partner will nudge me or say "back" if he notices I'm laid on my back but I'm generally like a rotisserie chicken through the night.

Sex!

Me and my husband are TTC. Sometimes after sex i have noticable drippage but other times, nothing noticeable at all but he says he finished inside. Usually aswell i notice more on the first fay of sex then little to none as it goes on if we had sex multiple days in a row. Im worrying , does that mean he didnt finish ? He says he did. I was wanting to ask, do you ladies always feel drippage? Or sometimes not? Im getting stressed out about it and a little disheartened x thanks so much

Wanting my tubes tied during C-section

I just wanted to hear others experience with this and the whole process really, I am in my first trimester but I know I don't want anymore children and I'm 27 (I'll be almost 28 when my youngest will be born).

Anterior placenta mamas, how often did you feel kicks?

I've just had my 20 week scan and was told I have an anterior placenta. I'm convinced it's more to the right because I feel a fair amount of something to the left.

I've felt little pops the past few mornings and 1-2 throughout the day. Only felt it once with my hand a few days ago. My question is, how often did you feel kicks and when? I'm just curious if 2-3 times a day is what to expect or if I'm literally just feeling gas 🤣 although I think I know the difference.

Hospital and home visits

How do you feel about hospital and home visits after the baby is born?
My in laws want to go to the hospital but I want to set boundaries and have time to ourselves to allow us to settle in.
