When did Nausea start for you?

I’m worried because I don’t have any nausea which everyone seems to have it… does this mean something is wrong?

I’m 33 weeks pregnant according to my due date, 36 weeks pregnant according to my growth scans

For the past 2 weeks I’ve been having very liquid 💩 to the point I will go toilet for a pee but 💩 will come out as well. A few days ago my belly was hurting I assumed it was because I’d ate too much or not enough idk. Today I’ve felt the same stomach pain that stays for a few minutes then goes. I don’t want to make any unnecessary trips to the hospital as I have an almost 2 year old who needs me. But if anyone has had any similar issues did you find out what was wrong? I still feel my baby move constantly.

Reduced movements

So I'm 37+1wks, was in triage last week due to unexplained bleeding, was sent home as consultant was "not concerned". Mentioned a change in my baby's movements then and was fobbed off with "she's probably sleeping", have felt her less each day since and movements seem weaker. Feel like I should go back, but don't want to waste their time if it's nothing. Like she's still occasionally wiggling but nowhere near as much nor as strong as say a week or 2 ago... Had bad contractions last night too (also being on & off for about a week but at its worst last night) and lost my plug over a week ago. Cold drinks, exercise, sugary foods, poking her, etc doesn't do much either. She used to beat up my partner when he touched my bump but even with that she just kinda rolls away from him and stops, instead of giving him a good kicking party.

Second child, just can't shake the feeling that something is off... Has anyone else had this? Gunna call triage in a bit to explain to them too. Personally feeling exhausted, I'm so over being pregnant too which doesn't help, just can't help but feel like I'm going to get fobbed off and sent home again.

Morning sickness relief

Hi all,
I am suffering with morning (all day) sickness to the point where I can only stomach plain yogurt, rice and sometimes eggs so am lacking lots of nutrition. I am hungry but the nausea prevents me from eating enough. Any tips?? Have tried ginger sweets and they work sometimes but not always.
Any advice would be amazing!

Pelvic Girdle pain

Has anyone else been struggling pgp?
I’ve had it for 2 days so far and struggling to walk for long or even lift my legs without horrible pain 🫠
Any advice or tips to help?

Did you help your baby to roll or did they just start doing it without any practice?

I’m trying to help my 7mo to roll but she kind of hates it and it’s so exhausting, for the both of us! I don’t want to push her but I do want to encourage more… even with side play she kind of hates it and always just wants to be sitting or playing on her back.

Any tips would be appreciated!

Slight blood?

I’m 16 weeks today and woke up gone to the toilet and as i’ve wiped I’ve found pink blood. I rang my midwife and they’ve said to keep an eye on it and if I get cramping or more blood to ring up again. But I’ve sort of sent myself into a panic 😅 has anyone else had this? I’m so concerned for my baby. This is my first one and they’re a miracle to me

No symptoms!

Hello lovely people! 🩷 I’m currently 4 weeks + 1 day according to my Flo app, but I honestly have no pregnancy symptoms at all, and it’s starting to worry me a little. Is this normal?

With my previous two pregnancies, I remember having symptoms quite early, so this feels really different. Has anyone else had little to no symptoms at 4 weeks and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy?

2nd baby mums 7w4d Fatigue lifting

Anyone about the same and feel like the exhaustion is lifting a little?
I have more energy in the morning yet crashing come 3ish haha

When did you first start experiencing any pregnancy symptoms?

If so, what were they?

Baby kicks

Is anyone feeling kicks yet as I’m not ☹️

I'm close to becoming a statistic.

I've been going through alot and I've been getting dark thoughts about just drinking until I'm numb, taking a bottle of Tylenol PM and going for a swim in Tempe town lake.

Symptoms

I was wondering what symptoms everyone was having or is having during pregnancy and what gender you ended up having

Period cramps

Did anyone feel like they were going to start their period just before getting their positive? I had period cramps, upset stomach, the feeling of me starting soon, wet like feeling that i always have before i start. Basically the same usual symptoms. I carried pads with me to work because i was sure i was coming on! Tested 3 days before my period due and got a positive test. I still feel like i might start lol

Aspirin and heartburn!

Im on aspirin for pregnancy and it says to take it before bed. BUT you cant take anything for two hours before or after to help heartburn, which is worst at night!! At ideas?

Nausea 24/7

Any even unconventional tips are more than welcomed! I’m having nausea 24/7 and now have been written out of work for the next 2 weeks at least.

It’s making it so incredibly difficult to enjoy this pregnancy, which was so incredibly wanted.

Any tips, tricks please! I’ve tried all the usual, ginger, small meals, eating more often, not getting out of bed till I’ve eaten, etc. nothing helps!

Also when did your nausea stop? Can I at least expect it to go away soon😅 I’m 9 weeks today.
