Hey, im 5+6 weeks and ive been having the same. Ive been told its quite normal for some pregnancys.. if its sharp pain i would get yourself checked out xx

I got the same I’m also 5 weeks. Was told it’s normal in early pregnancy as your uterus grows and stretches. Keep an eye on it and if the pains increase in intensity or start to make you feel sick / dizzy etc or you notice bleeding, definitely get yourself checked out. I got myself checked out anyways because its my first pregnancy and I panicked and they gave me an early pregnancy scan a week later to check if baby was in the right place. Everything turned out to be fine. Try to stay calm and trust your instincts!! All the best xxx

Can anyone see the line?

5 months post MC.. let’s hope this is my rainbow 🌈🤍

I am having a chemical pregnancy or just early?

I found out I am pregnant a week ago (I am 4 weeks 5 days pregnant) I am only 4 days late as I found out very early. I have been testing since and my test are staying the same. Has this happened to anyone else? I don’t have much pain just on and off cramps every now and again, no bleeding. I started testing with the pink strips on Wednesday. Should I be worried? Is it normal for my test to stay the same? Other test in comments.

WATER

Anyone else wake up randomly in the middle of night and just chug a ton of water? I swear most of my water intake happens between the hours of 12-3am😅 I’m talking almost an entire 32oz water bottle lol (also and exclusive pumper so not sure if that influences it all)

Help us pick

So me and my partner have only found a few names we can mutually agree on; what name do you think suits best?
Middle name will be Marie Tilly

Funny story 😭😭😩

So I am on this weight loss journey but sometimes I get lazy or feel like I’m not using the bathroom enough because I eat a lot of protein.
So I decided to drink 2 laxatives this morning with my coffee.. all of a sudden I’m super nauseous and feel literally sick to my stomach and I’m over here almost crying thinking I’m about to die like what is wrong with me ..
Ran to the bathroom because everything hurts
And it all clicks.. I drank 2 laxatives pills and that’s why my stomach hurts
Mind you I’ve done this like 3 times already and already experience the same amnesia 🤣🤣🤣
MOMMY BRAIN OR WHATTTT

Partners family crossing a line about our baby’s name.

I don’t know if I’m being a bit over sensitive/dramatic.

My baby will be having my partners surname, and his family have chosen the middle name - it’s tradition in their family for the first born son to have a particular middle name - I don’t really like the name but I agreed because it’s important to them.

I have chosen a first name I really love and my partner has agreed to it because he already has the middle and surname, but his family hate it and are trying to convince me out of it. They keep telling me it’s a horrible name and are trying to push other names on me that I don’t like. I’ve tried to explain why I like the name but they just won’t stop and accept it. I’m finding it quite rude and it’s beginning to hurt my feelings. It feels like they don’t care about me having any input in my son’s name at all.

Am I overreacting.. should I just ignore it, should I say something to them or should I consider changing the name since everyone seems to hate it so much?
