I’d say it’s pretty normal I believe it’s to do with your uterus stretching and your body growing for the baby but anything that gives you anxiety is worth checking on :) x

As long as you don’t have heavy bleeding and it’s not really painful I’d say you’re okay! It’s so difficult you read into everything, pregnancy is wonderful but so incredibly worrying at times x

I came back from hospital the other day, they asked if I had any pain, but it’s all normal if there’s no bleeding. It’s just the body adjusting.

I have had intermitent pain in my left side tummy but like you its on and off and not severe. No other symtpoms. Its always worrying. Had it in my first pregnancy too! Like you say if no heavy bleedy or constant severe pain then it sounds ok xx

Yes I have this and guess it’s just a normal part of my body adjusting x

I had this up until about 6 weeks. I think it’s a mixture of growing uterus and could also be trapped gas/constipation as that’s common too x

Do you think it’s weird that adults are so into their own birthdays? Like full weekends out of it, can’t do anything else because it’s their birthday month. I get like milestones birthdays (18,21,30 & 50.) but it’s not that special, right?

Only asking because my friend of 15+ years blew off my baby shower because it was her birthday weekend, not even the actual day. Her response was “I’m a Leo”

Is this normal?

37w3d
Just had sexual inter course and then went the toilet and this was when I wiped
Rang triage and they told me they’re not concerned keep an eye out on the blood for any changes ect and this could be the start of labour.
But I’m still so anxious has anyone else had this?

To scan or not to scan??

I’ve got a scan booked in 2 weeks time when I ✨ should ✨ be 8+2, however there’s a scan available today at 2pm, I’m currently 6+1…

I really want to see a heartbeat before I tell my son I’m expecting and if I measure early I’m guessing I might not see that today, on the other hand if I do it will massively reassure me… help 😱

Baby wrap/carrier

Hello! After 9 years we are finally expecting our second little babe. 🥹 I had an emergency c-section with my daughter and my OB said to just plan on a second one. Also, I’ll be getting my tubes tied during that too. My question is, I know baby carriers make like a lot easier. Can we still wear them after c-sections? I’m going to be stay at home mom and student(online) so I’m really hoping we can.
