Movement

Anyone experiencing really irregular/“unpatterned” movements? I am 23+5. Last week baby seemed so active everyday moving and thumping inside. The last couple of days the movement has seemed less - especially through the daytime - and also feels less intense (maybe just moved position or cushioned against something?). I have posterior placenta. Hard not to overthink/panic so wanted to know if anyone else experiencing the same! X

Breech baby

Hello all I’m 36 weeks and have been told I have a breech baby. Has anyone managed to successfully get theirs turned around?
I have quite bad reflux too so hanging upside down is not ideal.
Any tips or experiences are welcomed thank you xx

My daughter

My baby girl has been congested and now I noticed a little sleep in her eyes I am taking her to the doctor this morning so that they can look but it is just one eye 😢 it’s the eye that looks like it’s wet but it’s not

Belly Hurting

Does anyone else belly just hurt all the time lately 🙈 I feel like I have to prop it up at all times because it’s just to heavy 🙈 my skin also hurts too it’s sore where it’s stretching😫I don’t remember feeling this bad when I was pregnant with my first

Baby number 2 symptoms

I have just found out I’m about 4 and a half weeks pregnant with my second. (Just under 1 week before missed before)

With my first, I didn’t test until I was a week late on my period and symptoms came on quite quickly after (hot flushes, extremely sore boobs etc)

My anxiety is that apart from period like pains for over a week, mood changes and occasionally feeling hot, my symptoms don’t seem as strong as with my first pregnancy.

Has anyone else experienced this when they found out earlier than with their first or other children?

Last day before Mat leave

Today’s my last day at work and I’m sooo emotional😭My colleagues keep texting me goodbye messages and I swear I tear up every single time.
What’s funny is that for the past two weeks I’ve been counting down the days until this moment because I AM SO TIRED 😅
Such a weird mix of relief, exhaustion, sadness, and gratitude all at once.
Anyone else ever felt like this?

Leg cramps

Wake up every morning with cramp in my calf (sometimes both at the same time). Dr google says it’s a common symptom, but it’s become a daily thing now and it’s excruciating.

Any tips to reduce it happening?

Changing baby to sit up pram attachment

Just took Baby out for a walk in his pram he’s almost 4 months old and goes in his bassinet attachment . He used to love it when he was a newborn. He just fall straight asleep or he would just be content but he’s been screaming his head off any time hes lying down, he just hates being lay down as it is anyway on his back he likes being sat upright so he can see things. I know it’s too early yet, but when can Baby be sat in the sit part of the pram attachment?

Any reassuring spotting stories or experiences?

Spotting for 5 days (brown/pink) any positive stories as I’m losing my mind.

Sick and tired 😮‍💨

I can’t even remember what it feels like to feel ‘normal’ anymore. On the one hand I feel like my sickness isn’t ‘too bad’ but I just feel so lowkey crappy and like staying in bed all day. I’ve been off work sick for two days and have no energy to do anything. Stomach feels uncomfortable and starving all the time. Honestly can’t work out if it’s all in my head at this stage 😅 can anyone relate/got any words of wisdom or tough love for me?!

Soon he’ll be rolling on his own… I can already see it coming

Now that my son has just turned 4 months old, he’s started doing this all the time when I put him down, and the same when I change his nappy. He kicks a lot and moves around so much. Does anyone else experience this too?

Line eyes??

Took this this morning and swore I saw a line but then my toddler got into the br and put it in the sink and it got wet but think I still see something? This pic was taken within the time frame but maybe should just take a new one anyways? Feel free to tell me im crazy as I'm 4 months pp😂☠️

Anyone else up right now? 🥲

The insomnia is real ugh, feeling so indigestion-y tonight just crap and of course baby girl wants to have a full on nonstop karate party right now. 🫠

Intense lower back pain

Does anyone have intense lower back pain? First time mom so I honestly don’t know if it’s just from the pregnancy or from the epidural and spinal block I was given. I’m just in so much pain and nothing seems to relieve it. I’m 10 weeks postpartum.

Heartburn

Any suggestions to help with heartburn other than tums . Last time I took tums I threw up

Baby kick
