Hii! I’m being induced on Friday at 37+1 because baby is small for gestation age, this is my first baby so just looking for some advice or induction story’s so I have a rough idea of what to expect, thanks x

When’s the best time to get an early scan? With heartbeat?

Please can I have some positive elective c section stories! I’m due to have one in 8 weeks (had previous 4th degree tear) and the nerves are slowly kicking in! Also did anyone have low iron/anaemia? Did it make you feel dizzy when standing up after the surgery? Thank you!!

I am approx 7 weeks and I’m not seeing the midwife for over another 2 weeks.. I am so conscious that I have no real symptoms.. before I tested I had dark veins and swollen boobs, I was exhausted all the time.. and now besides gagging at my morning coffee and the odd twinge / very mild cramp. I have nothing when I ex...

I am riding on fumes right now. Every time I lay down I feel my legs need to move or something. I just looked it up and it appears I maybe iron deficient. Which could be true bc I take a prenatal that’s chewable and it doesn’t have iron. I don’t like taking pills.. any other ideas on getting iron? Anyone else having...

Who else is halfway there today?!!! This is my belly this morning, expecting there to be a bit of growth these next few weeks 😄some days I feel like I’ve “popped!” And others feel like I’m not even pregnant. How are you mommas feeling?

Had our 12 week scan, any guesses on girl or boy? My daughter wants a little sister 🤞🩷🩵

Hello, I was told that I am high risk of having a possible Premature Birth with my 3rd child (my other two was full term). I am 31 weeks, she is approximately 3lbs now, iv lost quite a bit of my plug, I’ve had some pretty close/hard contractions (not hard or close enough but enough for me to be a little on edge), s...

I just had my 12 week dating scan yesterday. It went well, baby was healthy and spent most of the time on their head (!). I spent the majority of the time wiggling, jiggling and jumping around, I even had to jauntily climb up and down a flight of stairs to get them to move (they didn’t!). Because of baby’s position ...

I’ve just been for my 20 week scan and the sonographers (had two as one was training) both didn’t raise a concern but I’ve had the slip with info printed out and baby boy looks slightly underweight to me. At 20w his weight was 309g or 11oz and that looks lower than the average by quite a bit based on their little ...

I have a fear of being sick so just wondering how likely I am to be sick either during or after csection?

Bits of blood could it be implantion bleeding or something else any advice would be much appreciated

Hi all, anyone else getting pains at the top of their belly? This is my second pregnancy but I can’t remember much about my first 😅 I’m 12 weeks

So I’m not sure if this is normal but I leak discharge like it’s water!! It’s like milky white and just falls out of me! What does it mean?!? I’m almost 30 wks

Im 31 weeks + 1 day, I lost my mucus plug a few days ago and since then I've noticed an increase in discharge, I've been getting on and off back pain along with cramping in my lower abdomen (not consistently) and even noticed my bowels are becoming a bit looser, should I be concerned?

7 weeks pregnant Had some bleeding after sex, is this normal? Will everything be okay? I’m full of worry, I’ve had multiple miscarriages before ☹️

Hello. My section is fast approaching, I’m really anxious for all of it but especially the spinal. Can anyone share their experiences please 🙏🏻

Cake!! All I want is cake in this pregnancy! Anybody else?

I just found out I am pregnant this morning!! My first appt with the dr is at 10 weeks and an RN call at 8 weeks. Is this normal? They didn’t schedule an ultrasound either

Know it’s not the clearest as baby moved around so much on the scan! But wondered if anyone had any thoughts. I think girl and have done throughout but just intrigued! I’m 12w exactly.
