I didn't get anything till I was 7 weeks then boom morning sickness and the fatigue hit me 🥲

Yes very normal as it’s still very early. Keep your spirits up and treat yourself with enough sleep and healthy meals.

No symptoms with both my boys - both happy healthy babies x

I had absolutely no symptoms my entire pregnancy apart from ankles and feet starting to swell at about 32 weeks due to being in my feet all day at work

Baby was born happy and healthy at 38 weeks @ 7lbs 12oz

I had no symptoms till the very end when I got a bit fatigued I didn't really feel pregnant till I got more of a bump and she started kicking me all the time 😂X the anxiety of it all is completely normal lovely congratulations 🩷xx

tummy problems after c section

my csection was 10 months ago and since then ive had so many problems with my stomachs, ive had constant diarrhoea and rarely have a normal stool, and i keep getting gastritis (i think) and when i get this its so painful i ended up at a&e the first time because i didnt know what it was and the pain was unbearable for me. between that and the diarrhoea which has made me have a number of accidents (embarrassing) i have found it hard to enjoy motherhood at times because its all started after her birth.
just wondering if anyone eles has had this and what they have done to help. ive got some meds from the doctors for the gastritis and got a test coming up for the constant diarrhoea but im at a lost because everything i eat seems to set one of them off.

GBS positive + water broke , but no contractions — when did you go to L&D?

My water broke around 8 AM this morning with a pretty big gush, and I’ve continued leaking some fluid since then. I’m GBS positive, but I’m barely having any contractions — maybe just a couple all day.

I’m trying to figure out whether I should head to Labor & Delivery now or stay home a little longer, rest, and wait to see if contractions start on their own. I’d really prefer not to go in too early if everything is okay.

For those of you who were GBS positive and had your water break before contractions started, how long did you stay home before going to the hospital? What did your OB/midwife recommend?

Just to add — I’m really trying to avoid being induced and give my body a chance to go into labor naturally. From what I’ve read, the actual percentage of babies who develop a GBS infection is very small, even without antibiotics. I’m obviously not trying to put my baby at risk, just trying to understand how long it’s reasonable to wait for contractions to start naturally.

Induction prep

I’m being induced at 40+4 and been told to get there at 7am, I’d love to hear how people kept themselves busy, how their day went! Any positive stories? But also realistic stories of not getting seen all day, how it went particularly if your cervix wasn’t favourable… how long it took? Also why is there lots of negativity around the oxytocin drip? Thanks!

Babys 1st birthday today!💗

Little one has just had her first birthday!
Happy birthday to our october babies! We're all doing an amazing job x

20 week scan

It's my 20 week scan tomorrow! I will be 20+2 ☺️

Feels like it's been a long time coming. Are there any questions or anything I should be asking/looking out for?

I had a private scan which said she was a girl, and I will ask them to confirm if they can 😂

Thank you 🥰👶🏼

Is it odd?

Is it odd that my 6.5 year old boy has only ever been invited to one birthday party since starting school at 4? I’ve asked him if children in his class have birthday parties but he’s not aware of any…
