My 11 month old has really red, puffy gunky eyes. I rang the doctors and the receptionist said they don’t treat conjunctivitis anymore, they just say bathe in warm water and it will clear up within a week. We’re on day 3 now and they’re even worse! All bloodshot, does this sound right to you? Has anyone else’s baby ...

My baby is 5 months and is constantly kicking his legs and flapping his arm up and down in almost a hitting motion. Is this something to be concerned about or is it excitement/ usual body movement as they discover their hands and feet?

Hi all, I’m 34+3 and at the start of the week I’ve had days where there’s been lotttssss of movement, almost feels like baby hasn’t stopped moving. Last night and this morning I’m worried because I’m experiencing very different and she only really kicks if I nudge her or have a good gulp of water but even then it’s ...

Im 33 weeks pregnant and I’ve been getting abdominal pain for the past day. It’s persistent and doesn’t go away. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I call the midwife?

This morning I woke up with a pulling/pinching feeling in my lower stomach then all day today I’ve been slightly cramping. Increase and decrease in food just depends on the day some days I’ll feel so sick when I try to eat and some I wanna eat everything in the house. Tonight I’m laying in bed and I tried taking a d...

I wish the vomiting and nausea stop... Every time I vomit, I look at that man and want to fight him. This is my 2nd pregnancy and now I realize why it took me almost 6 years to do this again.

It felt so real that I thought it actually truly happened for several minutes after I woke up and was so upset with myself. I dreamt I got black out drunk and hooked up with one of the guys from love is blind 🤣🤣🤣 but I didn’t REMEMBER doing it, one of my friends had to tell me the next day and I was absolutely…

I’m awake at 2.40am and I’ve been awake since midnight. Just couldn’t sleep. (Doesn’t help that I’ve got remnants of a chest infection and sinusitis lol). I started to feel so hungry it made me sick so I’ve tried eating a small bowl of cereal just to settle my stomach and now I have acid so can’t even lie down to tr...

34w2d and I feel like my belly dropped. What do we think?? (Also yes…my face was THAT bad that I had to color it out lol)

Is brown spotting normal at the beginning of what could be a period? Im 23 and my periods have recently been getting longer in between cycles. Im on day 42 of cycle and i have small brown blood clots. Is this a bad thing?

I've almost had my IUD ( hormonal ) for almost a year and have experienced very minimal light spotting for a day or 2 as my period for 6 months. Last Saturday I started a real period that lasted until Wednesday and returned today again full force (Friday). Has anyone experienced this? This is pretty heavy bleeding l...

I’m 32 Weeks and I have severe round ligament and sciatic nerve pain. My vagina literally hurts every time I try to walk, go up the stairs, or even lift my legs to put a body pillow between them. I’ve brought this up to my OBGYN, and she said it’s completely normal?! I’ve never experienced this with my first or se...

Is it normal to hurt? I remember having the same thing with my first and it did eventually stop being painful but just wondered if everyone gets this or just some people?

I read that some mums to be experience strong, painful kicks usually in their ribs or a lot of movement in general while my baby seems to be quite chilled and gentle. Not sure if I should worry. I've been in triage a few times due to being concerned about the baby's movement but they said everything looks fine. I ca...

Restless legs in the evenings are actually doing my head in! I’m 30+5 and it’s relentless! 😖

A pain I didn’t think I’d get in pregnancy but the worst symptom yet, is pretty horrific back pain in my mid back around my bra strap. Not lower back pain that I’ve heard of. Causing me to barely function it’s so painful. Anyone else have this? Can’t work out why, thinking maybe growing weight of breasts? if anyone ...

Oh lord 🫠 I hate feeling nauseous. With my first (5 months pp) I would feel nauseous 24/7 but never threw up and I’ve gotten so nauseous where I thought I would but never did. Now with this pregnancy so far I have been nauseous every single day and sometimes it gets stronger and some not too strong but today I have…

Feel very embarrassed, but here goes.... I did my pelvic floor exercises all through my first pregnancy but afterwards leaked, mainly when doing running and/or some other exercises, I thought this was normal and wore big pads, I thought it would improve with time? I'm on second pregnancy (5 years later) and again do...

I recently got the copper IUD and have been getting extreme pain in my pelvic area/hips/legs. Is this normal?
