Baby girl has not been as active the past few days, I have felt something but not as much as normal- she is normally really wriggly! I was a bit worried this morning so I’ve already tried to have a fizzy drink and something cold but not much luck. Should I go and get checked out or am I being over dramatic? Last tim...

I'm feeling aches on my left hip for trying to sleep on the left as much as i could the last few months. Would sleeping on my right be any better than sleeping on the back?

I am 9 weeks and have been having spotting but the past week I have been bleeding bright red blood with clots 😩 the midwife sent me for a scan and baby was fine so they have no idea what the cause of the bleeding is! Has anyone else had this? It lasts for a few hours at a time every few days

Am I wearing this correctly, does she have to be higher up?

Dear mums, I am 16 weeks tomorrow but my belly is still not showing. How about yours😓😓😓😓.

Hi I’m 29+4, baby is normally incredibly active at night and often wakes me up kicking. However when I woke a few times to get comfy I didn’t feel him. He’s definitely kicked today but has been less wriggly and the kicks are not as strong/ distinctive. Is this classed as reduced movement? I’ve had some pelvic pain...

Anyone struggling to just wake up in the morning? It’s like I’m finally comfortable after a night of tossing and turning and I am exhausted!! Thankfully I work from home so I am getting up at the last possible minute!!

I have a period pain feeling in my belly since yesterday it’s quiet sharp

Hey this is my first pregnancy and I’m 18 weeks along. Apparently baby’s measuring okay so far and is actually considered “big” but I have no bump!! I don’t even look remotely pregnant!! I’ve gained no weight, and at most just look bloated but Is this just a genetic thing or could it be a problem? 🥺💞

Anyone else experience labia grazing on their minny moos? I’m 4 days postpartum now and just wondering when I’ll start to feel more mobile or even if anyone is just finding this absolutely horrendous and potentially worse then the actual labour too

I was just wondering if anyone has seen kicks from the outside yet with an anterior placenta, I feel them really strongly from inside, but just a bit curious when/if everyone has started seeing them yet😊

I’m currently 36+5 weeks now. Since yesterday I feel like pooping but when I go to toilet nothing happens. Is anyone else having similar symptoms?

Since last night I've been having what I describe as period ache pains in my lower back and now my stomach. Could this be a sign I could be in labour soon? I have no idea what to go on so just wondered if anyone else had a similar experience?

I’m 4wks postpartum and I’m still having pain where they placed my epidural. It’s constant then it’s like a stabbing pain every time I bend over which is all the time with a newborn. Has anyone else had this? Is this normal and it’s just still healing or is this a concern? If it doesn’t go away I’m talking to my OB ...

Probably a really stupid question, but I've started feeling a bit rubbish and what I can only describe as car sickness that comes and goes. Is that morning sickness? I'm just not sure.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has any tips or advice on feeling more yourself late in pregnancy? Things that have been keeping me going have got too painful recently.

Did anyone feel much kicks at 20 weeks ?

I have no idea what’s going on to my stomach right now. Since about 9pm it’s on and off has the worst cramping feeling and now it’s 5am and woke me up. It hurts so bad and I feel like it’s gas bc my stomach gurgles sometimes but I can’t get any gas out really. Does anyone have recommendations. I really feel like I’m...
