Braxton hicks becoming more frequent.

Anyone else experiencing Braxton hicks quite frequently?

Mine are happening quite often, not painful but quite uncomfortable. 😣

felt baby? 17w

i think i just felt my baby for the first time properly! it was a small tap in my very lower belly, i pressed in a couple times to see if i could feel her again, and while pressing in i felt the tapping against my hand! made my partner feel too so i knew i wasn't crazy, and after a few moments of waiting he too felt the little tapping

Back pain in 2nd trimester 😩

Heartburn❤️‍🔥

How are people managing heartburn??? I cannot get to sleep at night sometimes, it’s so bad

25 weeks struggling to breathe

I seem to have moments where I feel like I’m not breathing enough air ? I don’t smoke or anything it’s been recent is this normal ?

Rolling - help!

My baby is 5 months tomorrow. She is fantastic at rolling onto each of her sides. She has occasionally rolled from back to front (hasn’t even attempted front to back). I have assisted her in doing it where she rolls and holds her head really well (pushing up on her arms too). But now - won’t even attempt it and is pushing back on me when I try to help her. I’m worried she should be rolling completely by now? Any tips? (I’ve tried putting toys out of reach etc) or anyone experiencing the same?

Feeling SO tired - should I be concerned?

Hi mamas! I have a toddler and am due my second in mid October. I have just been feeling so ridiculously tired lately, that I don't know what to do. I can't always nap during the day - because of work and looking after the little one! I got some bloods taken this last week to check my iron levels (history of anaemia) so I'll wait for those results.

But I really just wanted to sense-check with others in a similar boat. Could it be the heatwave making me more tired than usual? Have you felt the same? Or could it be that having a toddler is draining in and of itself?

I don't remember feeling this way with my first at this stage, but then again maybe I've forgotten!

For context, I managed 2 separate naps of 1.5 hours each today which really helped. But I can't do that everyday 😂

Food aversion

So for those who had it. How serious was it? We are pregnant with our second child and nausea and food aversion is at a different level (plus the vomiting that I didn’t have with my first). This time I can basically eat less than 10 foods and they usually rotate: nowadays I can eat chicken, tuna steaks, apples, cherries, green beans and porridge for breakfast. That is it! And I can only go for 1 day without coke. Was yours the same?

Hip pain

I’m 9 weeks PP and for a week or so have been experiencing this pain on my right hip when I walk or move. It’s not always there, seems to be worse in the morning or after I’ve sat for a while. Has anyone experienced this?
