Any June mamas due any day now? Feel free to message me if you're in a similar boat so we can be friends! 🤰💛

I know it's so common to go past your due date, but the waiting is making me so uneasy!

Last night I had a couple of really sharp pains, but they only happened twice and then disappeared. I've also been going to the loo loads, and the third time I genuinely felt like I wasn't going to make it in time, like there was so much pressure and everything was going to fall out! 😅 Once I relieved myself, I actually felt much better.

Has anyone else had anything similar this close to labour? Or just feeling really unsettled and like something is happening but not quite happening? Would love to hear your experiences!

Bonnie blue. “Golden” baby shower 🤮🤮🤮🤮

I honestly don’t know how much more degradation of society and oversexualisation of women I can deal with 😭😭😭 how is this actually real??? At first I thought it was a fake pregnancy but the belly is looking very much real now

She is planning to have random men piss on her pregnant belly… it makes me think what type of content will she be creating when the babies actually here

It seems people are willing to stoop to the lowest of lows these days for money

Ectopic pregnancy

Posting here because it’s the biggest group and I need advice and reassurance.

I’m 36 and have a 17 month old daughter. I also have Endometriosis. No history of miscarriage or ectopic before now.

Today, I spent 8 hours at A&E to be told that my pregnancy was ectopic. I was then rushed into surgery to remove the fallopian tube, possibly the ovary and the embryo in the tube as they believed I was close to rupture due to the incredibly high HCG levels.

I’ve not seen the doctor yet as I didn’t get out of recovery until 9:45pm so I’m not sure whether they’ve taken my ovary too. I won’t know until the morning.

How do I make my recovery easier? What is a must buy or must do to help myself?

Anyone who has been through similar/has similar history, feel comfortable sharing their fertility journey after? We’re desperate to bring home a sibling for our daughter

Spotting after sex

I’m 31+4 and after sex this evening I’ve noticed spotting. I’ve previously had some spotting (no trigger) and when I’ve we to triage (twice), they couldn’t work out why. Do I need to worry or is it ok?

Bleeding after c section

I’m 4 days since my c section and my bleeding is still heavy, bright red, clots now and then but more like 5p size but thick. In hospital I lost a huge golf ball size but midwives saw this etc.

Is it normal to bleed heavy 4/5 days since the c section? After I went a wee earlier it literally ran down my leg and onto the floor.

Sometimes my pad is quite clean, then I wipe and it’s so red and heavy. Sometimes the pad could be heavy but they don’t leak through etc. it’s like stringy type.

Another Boy!

We found out this week we’re having another baby boy and I am lost on names.

My oldest is named Kendrick Joseph, Joseph being a family name on both sides.

I like the names Sterling and Kingston, but my husband isn’t sold on either one.

Suggestions?

Can’t decide on a name!!

Anyone else really struggling to agree on a name?
I’m 4 weeks away from my due date and me and my partner have a couple of ideas but nothing solid.
