Braxton Hicks

Anyone else finding their uterus tightenings not what they expect. Just back from being monitored in hospital and the graph showed I was having 'em there and I was unaware. Mine feel like an ache or pressure in an area not full tummy tightening and release. Often feels like period pain too ...hoping the real ones are more obvious ....2nd time Mum not sure if that impacts things.

CRACKED THE MORNING SICKNESS!!!!

I have cracked it girls! I have found having a few sips of Diet Coke throughout the day here and there really helps manage my sickness and nausea feeling. Honestly if your really struggling like I have please try it! It has been my life saver throughout the first trimester!

Out of breath

I’m 31 weeks FTM, is it normal to be so out of breath when talking and doing everyday stuff? Don’t want to call maternity if it’s not something to stress about.
Thank you x

Doppler heartbeat

Hello I’m 18 weeks pregnant. Went into triage for reduced movement and they couldn’t find baby’s heartbeat. Did a scan and baby was fine, sitting comfortably and heartbeat nice and strong.
But my mind is racing as to why the Doppler never picked it up?!

Very active baby

Hey all, I’m 39 weeks today and last night she was sooo active, moving so much and kicking and punching, it kept me awake from 10-1am. I know they say to only worry about reduced movement but should I be concerned or has anyone else had this so close to due date? She’s moving normally again this morning so far..

Thoughts 38+1

I just experienced a seriously painful stomach pain when I turned over to my left side in bed. I had slept of my right side the whole night then moved to my left and the pain was in my stomach area (middle) It felt so awful literally like a stab inside my stomach. Baby is moving fine. Should I be concerned or is this normal BH

Has any one brought their LO to the hospital while in labor

My son will be 18 months old when I go into labor and I am really considering bringing him with to the hospital when it’s time I was just hoping to hear from other moms that have done this and how that experience was and possibly any advice that you may have also if you think it’s a good idea or not regardless if you’ve done it I’m just curious
