Hi mamas. Does anyone know how i can get a driving test booked? I've tried 6am on the website etc and I just can't get a test. My theory expires in July so I need one ASAP

7 weeks with twins as of yesterday!! Mommy loves her baby girls.

Hi everyone, i’m 20 and i keep seeing posts on here about mums worrying about things like “reduced movement” of their baby, certain crys that sound “worrying” , safe sleeping, all things like these, and i hope this doesn’t come across stupid or ignorant but how do you all know these things? like i just feel like i w...

I ate something with lavender and I didn’t realize it was massive during pregnancy. I’m terrified. Should I can my doctor?

Ik sometimes you can’t plan when to get pregnant and it just happens but if you could choose/plan it perfectly what season would you want to get pregnant and have a baby? Would you want to get pregnant in the winter and have a fall baby, get pregnant in the spring and have winter baby, get pregnant in the summer and...

Currently 39+5 (EDD 28/03) feel so drained and sad 😔 purely because this is my second pregnancy and I was induced with my first so don't know what to expect labour wise.. first born was induced at 39+3 and don't know what to expect with this one.. anyone anxious mummy's? Send positive vibes please 🙏🙏

I have had every sign of labour. Nausea, vomiting, lost my mucus plug and bloody show, back ache and stomach cramps, mild contractions starting in my back and radiating to my bump which stop me in my tracks which lasted for 6 hours. I went to bed and managed a decent nights sleep, probably better than I have this la...

Hi! 30 weeks now and i have gained a good amount of weight about 30 pounds. I am definitely not proud of it sure but im also growing a baby lol. I still walk everyday, i go to gym no crazy workouts though mostly stretching and moderate to light workouts. BUT my obgyn said she was surprised i go to gym because i have...

I’m at 31 weeks and ever since about 20 weeks my stomach gets really tight throughout the day. I think they are Braxton Hicks. Though they don’t hurt and don’t feel like cramps. It’s mostly just annoying and feeling very full.

How often did you guys use thc in your first trimester? I’m so worried but I can’t keep anything down.

Anyone else deal with a previa? I’m 32 weeks, have an appointment tomorrow to make sure my placenta has moved and I’m so nervous. Really don’t want a c section. Has anyone’s placenta moved last minute?

I had my blood drawn for the NIPT test today. They said it will take up to two weeks for the results. With my first we got it back in exactly 7 days, weekend included. How long did it take you guys to get your results if you did the NIPT test?

I’m quite anxious. According to pregnancy+ baby is around 3lb 4 at 30 weeks. I’m 30+1 and according to my scan today baby weighs 3lb 12oz. Is this normal? Does this mean I’m going to have a big baby? I’m quite scared as I’m a FTM and the thought of giving birth to a huge baby fills me with anxiety Incase I rip etc🤣

Anyone else not overeating or changing their routines but gaining 5-8 lbs in the first 6ish weeks? Super bloated in the uterus area this time around. Really hoping it’s water weight but I have to say I’m getting kinda nervous about it and frustrated.

I've got my glucose test in the morning and feeling so nervous. All I've seen are stories about how bad it makes you feel, tastes bad etc. I'm most nervous about having a blood test without eating (I tend to faint normally if I don't eat before). Did anyone have a positive experience?

Is anyone else really nervous? Wondering how it’s going to feel for myself, and my partner.

Please tell me I’m not alone! About to go off on maternity leave with my second. I’m so happy to be having a second baby. I loved being pregnant last time - it made me so happy. This time it’s just been a whirlwind and I’ve found having a toddler and being at work really hard! Everyone keeps asking me if I can’t ...

Anxiously waiting my results and wondering if anyone else’s dr used them and how long it took to get your results! I had my blood draw 6 days ago (3/25) and got a text Saturday (3/22) that the lab had my sample

I’m feeling so rough, constant nausea, holding back the sickness as I know it’ll just make me feel worse, no appetite, floored with fatigue. Struggling with looking after my 2 year old, I have zero patience. Trying to get through each work day. I’m happy I’m having another baby but I am miserable at the moment....
