Did anyone not struggle with hayfever before pregnancy and now does post pregnancy?

I am 4 days PP and I’m really struggling with constipation and pain in my bum (as well as recovery from a forceps delivery with a very deep tear) to the point my husband found me crying my eyes out feeding our son at 3am as it was just so painful to sit down I know you can get cushions to sit on but they don’t loo...

Does anyone see it ? 10dpo

I’m 5 weeks pp and my line is still going strong 😭 how is everyone else’s? When can I expect it to go its horrible 😢

I need some reassurance with my line progression pls. How is it looking? Be utterly honest with me

I have been suffering from recurrent thrush and it is driving me insane! Has anyone had this and what treatment was offered? I have had the pessaries from the GP, I don’t have gestational diabetes but it keeps coming back. I’ve heard it very common in pregnancy due to increased hormones but it’s exhausting!

Anyone successfully fell pregnant again after 2 early chemical pregnancies? 🙏

Taken same day, one at 9am (5am to 9am hold, 4hrs, didn’t drink anything), the other at 2pm (9am to 2pm hold, 5hrs, drank about 700ml). If anything the urine was more concentrated at 2pm. Which is weird because I drank in the afternoon but not pre-9am.

Any pregnancy and post pregnancy book recommendations? What have been your favorite books?

Hey, so I found out I was pregnant last week, called my GP who said I need to call EPAC, who told me to go onto a website to register my pregnancy…. Is this normal? What happens next? I’ve experience miscarriages before and I’m very anxious, just want to know the process and how long I’m waiting for the first appo...

Anyone have this ?

Do i have to tell my employers that I’m pregnant? I not long started this role, and didn’t mention in the interview i was pregnant. When will i need to tell them? I have googled and it states I’m not obliged. However, it would be great to hear about real cases, anybody in this position and care to share their experi...

I had a dental appointment 2 weeks ago. They said “on the day of the appointment you’re financially obligated to pay before getting in the chair” No problem. The day of my appointment I paid $470 (after insurance) for the procedure then it was done. Cool. I got a bill in the mail saying I owe them $490 for the...

The line has gotten darker like this does this mean it is progressing ?

I've been testing since cd9 its now cd21 and I still haven't got my peak any idea why or if I'm gonna get my peak help

Is anyone else finding the midwife home visits intense/ tiring? We’ve had a few extra as I had high bp, and then they came back to weigh baby again as he’d lost 8% of his birth weight. We’ve had someone round pretty much most days and got the health visitor on Monday 😅 just want to be left to get on with it but…

I felt a bit crazy because I thought I could see a faint line. My camera struggled to pick up the faint line but I’m looking at all my pictures again and I swear I see it here too.

It’s hard to tell in the pic but can anyone else see a faint line if you look close enough?

I’ve just been diagnosed with GD at 34 weeks. I dreaded having to go through it again as I had it with my first but I passed the first gluecose test early in this pregnancy. I’ve been advised to change my diet and lifestyle but it doesn’t seem to be working and the doctor really scared me with all the risks of havi...
