is this normal?

Hello, i’m 6 weeks pregnant and having these sharp mild pain in my right and left pelvic side sometimes, my ob says it’s the uterus getting used to having to grow after my miscarriage the 8th of april, does anyone else experience small pains like that in the first trimester?

Help! Any doctors or nurses here? Retained placenta

I can't get through to 111 and it's bank holiday weekend so won't be able to contact my GP til tuesday.

Long story short, I'm 5 week pp and last Monday I had a huge sudden bleed and lost what I thought was a very big clot but my GP said was retained placenta. He put me on antibiotics and referred me for a scan which isn't until next week. I've just finished the course of antibiotics tonight but the last 3 days I have felt horrendous. My muscles are aching like I have the flu, it's got progressively worse and tonight I am just in so much pain, my whole body feels like it's burning. Is it possible I have an infection even after taking the course of antibiotics? Or is it more likely to be aches from breastfeeding and carrying the baby? I was a bit achey before but this feels different. I haven't got any other cold or flu symptoms. Just these muscle pains and at the end of the day, chills.

Names from other countries… 🌍

What are people’s thoughts on using names from other countries/cultures when you don’t personally have ties to them?

I’ve fallen INLOVE with the name Rocco for our little boy, but we have absolutely no connection to Italy, where the name originates. My boyfriend’s dark features make him look Italian, but we very much aren’t. We are British. 🤣
I’m currently telling myself that if there are millions of little Luca’s around at the moment, why not Rocco? 😅
