The maternity unit have advised that if I have the section before 38 weeks then I need to have a steroid injection to help babies lungs but t...

To whoever needs to hear this. If you’re suffering with sickness, even just feeling it - please go to your GP. They will prescribe you some anti sickness tablets. I did this and I honestly feel so so much better. The GP literally said to me, you don’t need to suffer in silence - if you’ve tried to manage yourself ...

Can anyone reassure me? I’m still having a little brown discharge/spotting since I found out Sunday I was expecting again? Still got sore boobs but I can’t help thinking somethings wrong 😫 midwife and drs saying not alarming as not heavy and not bright red

I’ve not spoke to her for 10 months now - it’s coming to her 90th birthday next week. Would you get a card? My little boy still sees her with my dad, he takes him weekly. I just don’t as she was mean to me

I'm currently almost 10 weeks pregnant and I have a hairdresser appointment this evening, do I have to tell her I'm pregnant? I really don't want to as I'm not 12 weeks yet and haven't had my scan but I'm not sure if it's something I should be telling her or not? Any help would be appreciated

I had a positive today at 13dpo. However, when I go for a bowel movement I am experiencing bright red bleeding. Is this concerning?

1st birthdays are coming up and I think I've decided to do Winnie the Pooh for my twin girls. I've been kinda looking around for a clever tagline for the invitations but my creativity is EMPTY. The two I've come across are the two in the poll BUT please let me know if you have another idea!

Do you see anything ? My periods in 2 days. I done a digital weeks indicator at 13:25 and it said not pregnant but I have had food and drinks (coke). Has anyone had this and eventually said pregnant ? Please help. Another photo in comments

Hey! Curious about when people are doing their gender reveal scans? I’m 13 weeks and deciding whether or not to wait until the 20 week scan or to do it slightly earlier at 16+ weeks? My family want to keep it a surprise and my boyfriends want to find out, just not sure how long I can keep a secret for!!
