I have a large fibroid, found at my 12 week scan. My pregnancy went by without a single problem and the only issue it caused was that I had a c section. It scared me when I found out and throughout my pregnancy but it was all fine in the end.

I am now nearly 17 weeks pregnant and my fibroid has doubled in size since I became pregnant but they have told me that is normal due to the hormones and nothing to worry about. They put me in contact with a consultant who was quite reassuring and they have said they will do extra scans towards the end of my pregnancy but that it shouldn't impact the babies growth or anything 🤞🏼 it gives me a bit of discomfort sometimes but my scans have so far been ok. I still worry but it seems like it can be quite a common thing xx

Horrendous heartburn and sickness

Just sat up in bed right now after a heartburn disaster, I’m 36+5 and been having it for a week or two now, always have a small sip of gaviscon before bed but tonight it didn’t work. Woke up didn’t feel good, (luckily I keep a bowl by my bed due to hyperemesis)
Still tried to get to the toilet in time but I didn’t make it and it’s the first time heartburn has actually made me physically sick and it was so much worse then any of my HG sickness as it felt like pure fire.
Partner came and rescued me with my rennies and a cold glass of water and getting me off the bathroom floor of course

But now I’m scared to lay down in bed incase it happens again

Did anyone else hear their waters breaking?

I was lying in bed and just heard a "pop" sound, I had no idea what it was lying there like wtf then I felt a gush. I literally had no idea there was a sound to waters breaking!?

Failed sweep now cramping

I had an attempt at a sweep yesterday afternoon but my cervix was fully closed so midwife couldn’t perform it.

Since then I’ve been very crampy. Does cramping mean the cervix is softening?

Has anyone has a failed sweep that lead to cramping that turned into spontaneous labour?

Munchies! 🙃🫠🤤😁

I’ve got this weird munchie craving to eat nacho cheese Doritos with lindor milk chocolates!
What about you guys!?

Balance postpartum

I’m almost 1 year postpartum and I’m still struggling to get my balance fully aligned like i still can’t walk properly without it feeling uncomfortable on my hips and lower back or going all wobbly, I never had this problem before late pregnancy. My passion before I had my little one was dancing and I expect it’s going to be so much harder to get back into. I try and be as active as possible with my baby to get out of my imbalance but nothing really seems to be working. I’m wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this or has any advice?
