I think I probably have not pooped in days. Like 4 or 5 days now I think it’s because the prenatal I’m taking has many vitamins and all and some iron as well. I been feeling bloated, not hungry much and just constantly and easily full but very nauseous too and all the time. Anyone has taken anything to help that is ...

I had an emergency C section in March and I’ve been struggling with some feelings towards it. For example, I know it might sound silly, but I feel I am not entitled to say “I gave birth 6 weeks ago” or just “I gave birth” in general. I feel like I technically didn’t give birth, even though I tried and was in labour ...

I’m 17 weeks and I believe I can feel baby kicking in my lower belly area all throughout the day🥹it feels like a very light tapping. Anyone having similar sensations?

Is it normal to feel much more mobile but still tender when brushing against your belly near the incision site? My scar is looking fine and closed (midwife confirmed too) but just above it, it’s still super puffy and numb/tender x

This will be for a boy.

Has anyone ever experienced braxton hicks early in the second trimester. I had on and off pain cramps lasting around 10-20 seconds this afternoon. I was reviewed and there’s no concerns but I never experienced them with my daughter, especially not this early

Is this normal? My right ankle is quite swollen and I’ve been getting a crushing feeling in my thigh and my hip on that side. I’ve been having cramping today like period pains but wouldn’t say I’ve had any tightening on my tummy. I was only up triage last night for reduced movements so don’t want to be a nuisance if...

Does anyone have an advice of what to speak about to HR re work related stress, work load etc? I found out today that I’m not getting a payrise and I’m literally devastated. I don’t know how to get my point across that I do so much and the return is so little and it’s starting to take it toll..I’d rather have the 29...

Hi ladies I’m 37+6 and ever evening without fail I will have braxton hicks anyone else experiencing the same?

I was wondering if anybody had any experience with going to a pre term birth risk clinic? I have my first appointment tomorrow after being referred, and have no idea what to expect.
