Groin Pain

I’m 16 weeks pregnant and over the last few days I’ve had a pain in my groin. When moving around & first thing in the morning it isn’t too bad but as the day comes to a close it’s really uncomfortable and when my legs are together it’s painful. Any idea what this could be?

At what age was your baby holding the head independently?

I see lots of babies on social media already holding their head and mine only lifts it briefly for a few seconds on tummy time and for a second when holding her upright.
Also she’s not rolling yet.
Just turned 3 months .

Gripe water

Has anyone given gripe water to their 3 week old? My little boy appears to be struggling with trapped wind. He’s currently on aptamil and absolutely guzzles it like he’s never been fed but then I find he struggles with winding following a bottle and also is now only going for poos every two to three days which I think is also making him uncomfortable. TIA x

Scared to remove c section bandage

The midwife told me to remove it on day 5. I had my c section Monday morning so does that mean today or tomorrow?

Placenta currently covering the cervix

I found out a few weeks ago that my placenta is currently covering my cervix. I’m hopeful that this will move as baby grows but looking for what others experiences was in this position. Did your placenta move as baby grew? Did you find you was able to give birth naturally? Or did you have to have a c-section? Trying be as prepared as possible for the potential outcome. Ideally I don’t want a c-section personally as I’ll have a 15/16month when baby will be here but I’m understanding that it might have to happen.

help 🥲

I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep having pains in my back/side and it’s exactly like a cramp and it feels as if that part of my back seizes up and tightens and I can’t get rid of the pain, has anyone else had this and if so do you know how to get rid of it 😫 it’s been like this for over a week now, I can’t do anything without it getting triggered, I feel like it may be from the position baby girl is in but I feel so helpless I’m in pain literally everyday 🥲

Girl names!!

I need help choosing a name for my second girl. I don’t want anything unusual but I want gently unique. Not top 10 names as they are so common. I don’t like names like river, romy etc as they are too out there for my liking.
I also don’t care about it “matching” my first.
