37+1 and finding that several times a day im having stomach pains ( not contractions most likely BH) but sometimes it feels like baby’s head is so low down I can’t stand, lean forward or walk for ages.

I recently found out I am five weeks pregnant and my GP doesn’t really seem to care that I have PCOS/Endo. He said the hard part was getting pregnant and now I shouldn’t worry. I do worry though, I’m worried that something bad will happen like ectopic or losses. I’m scared to google too much because I’ll worry more....

I really don't want to have my GD blood test. I'm struggling to sort out childcare along with having to work afterwards (I do late shifts in the week) and being there at 7am feels so impractical (I understand why due to not being able to eat) Has anyone ever refused it or been given an alternate method to check?

I know obviously I’m expected to gain weight but I’m just hating my body at the minute. I’m okay with my baby bump because I feel like that is supposed to be there with where baby is growing but my arms looks flabby, I have back fat and I’m just hating every bit of my body. I just want to cover up in big baggy jumpe...

Hi, I just worked out that if I go for a walk right after breakfast my sugar levels don’t spike. My breakfast was quite straight forward. Wholemeal toast, half avocado, scrambled egg (only one) and a coffee. I normally have a kiwi but I didn’t today. I went straight for a walk after and then took my blood which was...

My Panorma test came back! Low risk and I’m having a baby boy so the sneak peek test was accurate!!!

My whole pregnancy so far I have been very unhappy about my body and my scar (not from c section). But today I got my maternity pics back and I am happy I stepped out of my comfort zone and just enjoyed the day we had.

I’m 31+1 and baby has been giving me some really low and strong movements tonight. The strength is out of character for baby…. Should I be worried or do I just need to relax and enjoy? First time pregnant at this gestation and everything is panicking me

Hi ladies, I’m 38 weeks and having an elective c-section soon. I also have a 2.5 year old keeping me on my toes!! I’m so excited to finally meet our second baby but also remember the gruelling newborn stage only too well, the sleep deprivation with my first was truly horrendous and sent me into a big PPD spiral and ...
