Post a photo of your baby the day they were born and then post a photo of what they look like today!!! They grow so fast 😭 and develop such gorgeous individual little features so quickly!
I went into triage last night as she’d not moved all day, I get 2 movements out of her whilst on the monitor but the Midwives’s say she’s perfectly fine, they’ve moved my scan up from the 28th to tomorrow to check but I’m still not happy as she’s barely moved today either. They said if I’m not happy to go back in ...
She’s 4months old this coming week
How soon after a C-section is it safe to get pregnant again? NHS seems to suggest 18 months but that seems like a long time if I want babies close together.. Any experience please? How did the birth go after? Another C or VBAC? Any issues with placenta or similar? Thank you!
Hey girls. I had a growth scan with fetal medicine today I’m 35 weeks tomorrow is it normal for baby to be 6lbs now. Will she be big ? I was 11lbs for my mum lol. My boys was 8lbs at birth. Anyone else recently had a growth scan what was your baby’s weight Thanks x
Been having mild period cramps for about 2 weeks now, that come and go every few days. I’m now getting them every day. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m 38 weeks+3 and hoping I get to meet my baby girl soon 🤞🏻💖
Has anyone been induced before? What was it like ? X
Boy names are so hard. I had so many I loved for my first one and ended up calling her Willow like a week after she was born! Really struggling with deciding on a boy name! We like Rowan but what am I doing, raising a bloody forest?!
Hey ladies! I’m 35 weeks pregnant with my first and still physically active (walks, barre and yoga workouts). When did you stop working out? Did you continue up until labor?
Guys, when I tell you, you know your body better than anyone trust me! I had continuous infection on my wound for weeks, no one would listen. I went on 4 different antibiotics for a week at a time. At one point it looked okay, then it got worse again. I finally insisted that they put me on a drip for intravenous ant...
Hi everyone! I’ve just found out I’m pregnant, it’s my first time and don’t have many friends with kids so I have no idea what to expect or what I should be doing 😅 I tried contacting my GP and it was impossible to get through, so I just self-referred to the hospital’s maternity services instead and they have…
I'm 27w now and getting slower/fuzzier brain week by week!! I work in marketing agency so it's high demand and responsive all day every day, and boy am I struggling to keep pace 😅 still have 8 working weeks to go until I finish for mat leave - it's going to be a real slog... The worst thing is that most of my…
I just had my show/ mucous plug. I’m 40+2 and had a cervical exam today. Not a stretch or sweep as I declined it, just an exam. Is that why I’ve lost my plug?
I’ve been feeling really off all day today and yesterday. Really crampu and almost like my period is going to start 😅 I’ve also been losing my mucus plug all morning 😅🙈 I contacted my doctor to see but has anyone else experiencing this, this early? I’m 35 weeks + 2 days.
When did you move your baby from the bassinet carry cot to front facing? I have an eager baby at 12 weeks old
How is everyone recovering from their c sections? I had a vaginal birth but already thinking about a second baby 😆 I’m thinking I’d like a section next time as my birth and recovery wasn’t something I’d like to experience again putting it mildly. Thought I’d ask everyone about their experience while it’s still fresh…
