Baby bump

Hi mamas! So I’ve hit 30 weeks today! And I’m a little self conscious about my bump, she’s tiny for 30 weeks and I was just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as I am?

To all the Jan moms who had there cutie little babies already. Hours before you had ur first real contractions… what did you feel like?

Before you started feeling the real ones… did you start feeling jittery? Anxious maybe? No idea on why you were feeling that? Any other things you felt right before true labor contractions started? For me, I’ve been having on and off false or prodromal labor contractions for 3 weeks. They have the same feeling and...

Abdominal pains/sore tummy after activity

I’m 2.5 weeks postpartum and have noticed that after I’m more active (walking, housework etc) my abdominal muscles are sore and crampy. I assume that my abdominal muscles have separated during pregnancy and it will take a while for them to knit back together but it’s making me feel a bit anxious. Anyone else?

Movements

Anyone first pregnancy - when have you started feeling movements and is it obvious that’s what it is? Currently 18 weeks - haven’t felt anything yet (I don’t think - little twinges but more like pulled muscle not bubbles - which was how was described to me)

symptoms disappearing

I’m 9+3 and I feel like my symptoms aren’t as strong today. For the last few weeks I’ve been crippled with nausea, particularly if I’m hungry but I just haven’t felt that today at all… should I be worried? I had a MC last year so I’m very scared.

Fatigue

Hey mommas! Okay so I’m suffering from DEBILITATING fatigue. It’s to the point where it feels abnormal. I can’t do the easiest of tasks without needing to immediately lay down. Some days I don’t even have the energy to shower. I’m starting to get worried that it’s more than just pregnant fatigue. Is anyone else fe...

Dark circles

Don’t want this to come across as vain but wondering if anyone else has this issue! My under eyes are soooo dark. I have had flu and low iron so that probably hasn’t helped. Anyone using any pregnancy safe skin care that may help?
