Hello! I’m 24 weeks pregnant and suffering so badly with constipation - is there anything anyone can recommend that’s safe for me to take?

Just over 7 weeks and I feel like I’ve been hit by a train this week. Nothing is helping the nausea, tiredness and headaches. Why does nobody talk about how crap early pregnancy is?

Hi, is anyone pregnant with their second baby and feeling like people just don't really care as much? I'm 36 weeks so I'm sure I'm just feeling really sensitive but friends and family have definitely not really checked in this time around and I haven't had anything like the same level of support. My MIL couldn't car...

I did my anatomy scan, and the only issue is that I have placenta previa. The doctor wants to see me again in a couple weeks and said it should move. I just wanted to see if anyone else was told the same thing? Trying to see if it's common.

Mums who already have babies, how are you managing parenting atm? My patience seems so thin 🙈. I’m really worried about this baby as I had 3 losses before this. I’m finding my 2 YO so tiring and then feel guilty, but also am so consumed with worry about this preg. Either way I feel crap! Anyone else?

Has anyone else suffered from returning sickness and nausea?? I was bad throughout my first trimester until around 18 weeks. I’m 23 weeks now and I feel like total rubbish again! Hoping it will pass 🥲!

Hey all. Sorry for the broad title, recently I've had a flare up of chronic diarrhoea, three weeks straight and I'm 21 weeks pregnant.

We got some extra pictures because a student sonographer also scanned me. I asked about the nub theory and the sonographer said she would make sure there was a picture with the nub showing.

Anyone else been diagnosed with gestational hypertension? I was just diagnosed with it. Have your doctors told you you’ll have to be induced/deliver early?

I might be crazy and this makes no sense, but my hair is completely different compared to pre pregnancy. It used to be very straight but now it’s so wavy and I got random curls in the back of my head. Anybody else experience this ?

Hi ladies, I have never done a glucose test. Not this pregnancy or my first. No one has ever mentioned this to me.My one friend said that this was strange as with her pregnancies she had too. I am now worried that my midwife isn't really helpful towards me. Has anyone else experienced this ?

Has anyone had any experience with taking sertraline / Zoloft late on in their pregnancy? I am really struggling and I know I desperately need the help but I do not want to cause my baby any issues or withdrawals so I am really torn 😩 Any advice would be so greatly appreciated!
