Hello! If I have an ultrasound booked when I’m 12w6d, will the tech tell me the presumed gender? Or is nub theory the only way to tell at that point? TIA ❤️

Has anyone had a bad experience at a scan? Thankfully everything is ok with baby but the sonographer was just horrific I walked out of the room just wanting to cry! Firstly she was over an hour late (I get it, shit happens they run late, it’s fine but she didn’t even apologise or acknowledge it). Then I walked into...

It's my second pregnancy and i swear i can feel baby moving at 11 weeks!

Personally, I don’t want to have a party. But I do want to do something cute or take her somewhere. Any ideas?

Hey! Hope to get some recommendations for middle names that go with a first name of Sienna and last name Middlemiss and wondering if anyone has some inspiration please? ☺️ finding it quite tough for the last name to not have too many syllables! I like Elsie as a nod to my mum but not sure if it flows well

For all my c section moms, when was it comfortable to wear normal pants again? I have been stuck in sweatpants since October and am starting to wonder if this is normal. Pants and jeans hurt, or make my skin feel like it’s burning, even yoga pants 🥲 I miss wearing normal clothes, but also wonder if I should…

Is this a positive it’s really really faint or an indent

anyone else experiencing cramping? trying to tell myself it’s completely normal but can’t help but worry🫣

I was meant to have an Obstetrics telephone call this afternoon and they haven’t called. Has anyone had the same? The letter said it could be within a 2 hour window but that has also passed and I can’t get through to them. Does it normally go out with the 2 hour window?

Any ideas as to what gender baby could be based on my bump and scan picture? 16 wks + 6 Just for fun Posted scan in comments

Anyone have any tips on easing sciatica pain? I don’t normally suffer with it but I am really struggling with it with this pregnancy. Some days I can barely walk as the pain is so bad.

Guys is this normal😂😂 every single meal i see online or on my friends stories i want it for dinner😍😍 but at the same time, i feel so badly nauseous that i couldn’t even stomach it anyway… lol anyone else?

I had my 12 weeks scan (turned out to be 10 weeks and 4 days) and during the scan the sonographer found a cyst 6.7cm. wide on the right ovary. She said if it gets to 7cm or over it can be damaging to the baby so I am really worried now. My whole family have history of having to have cysts/womb removed due to cancer...

Hey everyone!! Can I ask, how many people had an early scan and didn't see a fetal pole at 5W but did at 6W??

Anyone feeling nauseous lately ? I’m 35+2 Not much appetite since I feel bloated and lots of pressure. I takes sips of water throughout the day and I love my hot tea, but I know I’m not eating enough.

My baby is a week or so away from 5 months and I'm breastfeeding him. I find that I have more and more intense sugar cravings. Even when I feel super full after a meal I still crave sugar intensely. Does anyone else have this ? I did put on some weight while breastfeeding my first and it's happening again and it's r...

Mine doesn’t and always pulls her hand away. I see Mums with their babies walking nicely hand in hand and it’s so cute but mine is having none of it 😭😂

Mine is scheduled for next week! Has anybody found out the babies gender? We didn't find out with my first but I think we're gonna do a private gender reveal this time😍🥰

I'm 9 weeks postpartum, ebf. So last night I layed back and felt a sharp pull in the right side of my pelvis. Then was cramping overnight. I went pee this morning and have a small spot of blood in my underwear. Not sure if the pain I felt was related or if I'm weirdly starting my period already. I'm planning to ca...

Has anyone used Clary Sage to aid labour before? Also did you start putting it into a diffuser from 37 weeks to help bring labour on?
