Sorry this is a bit TMI but ever since my first period after giving birth in January 2026, my perineum aches during my period. It aches so much but goes away after painkillers.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal?

I had this to start off and it was only day 1 of my period starting. It has eased off since. (Baby was born March 2026)

Hey I had my little one In April, and it’s happening to me every time too! It hurts a lot! It’s super uncomfortable!
Currently sat in a&e with a sharp pain in my abdomen scared that it’s going to be an ectopic pregnancy has anyone gone through one or could advise if I’m just overthinking I’m so scared

Has having a tilted uterus caused anyone any issues?
And has it caused anyone fertility/maintaining a pregnancy issues.

Hi all, I’m currently 22 weeks and we had our 20 weeks scan two weeks ago, we’ve had 3 scans since all pointing out a new “abnormality” so we’ve been referred to queen Charlotte fetal medicine and fetal cardiac team. Any have any experiences, are the people nice?

37+5 today and I've had a persistent headache since yesterday. It's not too bad when I'm upright but if I bend over/sneeze/cough I get a sharp pain across the left side of my head. Obviously the main concern is preeclampsia but I've been checking my blood pressure throughout the day and it's normal. I also seen my midwife last week and had no protein in my urine.
I feel silly ringing triage because I wouldn't say the headache is severe but at the same time it hasn't gone away with paracetamol and has lasted around 24 hours now. I've had heartburn/reflux the last couple of days and I'm getting random pains across my abdomen which aren't contractions as they're not increasing in intensity or frequency.
Any advice please?

I’ll try add the 19 week bump pic in comments aswell. Baby is 13 weeks in the scan picture.
I will share baby’s gender after the 25th October after we had a gender reveal
