I’m 99% sure I know the answer to this already, seems to be happening/has happened to everyone else but for my own piece of mind😂 For the past 3 days around the same time/evening I’ve been getting what I can only describe as period type pains, as if I’m gunna come on in the next few days. They aren’t painful, they…

Anybody else having chills and feeling cold? 9 days postpartum and feeling very chilly, as well as a shooting pain( it comes and goes)on the left side of my tummy bellow the belly button Is this normal?

Finally got checked at my 36 week appointment today (I'm 36+3). My ob said I'm roughly a fingertip dilated, but suuupppeeerrr soft! She said baby isn't settled into my pelvis yet but thinks once he moves down, it'll be go time! Could be anytime now for me!! What tricks can I do to help baby move down more? I've alre...

Does anyone else struggle with back pain when carrying their baby around, or sitting on the floor at baby classes etc? My baby is 4 months old and she is quite chunky but I don’t think I should be struggling to carry her this much. Or if I have to feed her whilst sitting on the ground it feels like my back is on fire

I’m unbelievably tired everyday, the first hour of the day is ok but after that I just plummet! I feel ill with tired all day and am fighting for my life to make it to bedtime. Doing my best with sleep over night but often interrupted by 2 year old. Anyone else the same or is this unusual?

What are your days looking like with a three month old? My husband went back to work yesterday and I feel like I just have been sitting around for two days. We eat, we nap, we play, go out for a walk…. I already feel isolated 😅

My nausea had long gone by this point when I was pregnant with my first. It’s not terrible and I’m not throwing up but I’m queasy a lot and occasionally gag 😣

Hi everyone, I’m 6 weeks pregnant as of this week, and this is a really emotional and anxious time for me. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed with so many thoughtsworrying about whether everything is okay, dealing with the early symptoms, and just not knowing what’s normal.

Suffering so bad and losing a lot of weight which is worrying me most of all already been hospitalised for 4 days and think I’m going to have to go back in😭

37+ 5. I've been feeling nauseous since Sunday night. Vomitted twice yesterday and I've got constant ache in my belly as well as lower back pain that comes and goes. I've had Braxton hicks that have been more uncomfortable than usual but with no regularity. Diarrhoea 💩 today as well. Is this the start...? So fed up…

Honestly I always thought it was normal to have some sort of pain all day everyday. My husband has just told me that is in fact not normal and that he can go days without being in any pain at all. I've been in pain daily since I was like 10, that's not normal?

Heyy I'm 19 weeks pregnant and I do feel my baby move just not everyday and some days less than others is anyone else experiencing this?? This is my second pregnancy

I had my baby 5 months ago and stopped breastfeeding a month ago and only had 2 periods since I had my baby but they are regular. But everytime I ovulate I am spotting its not when I wipe its in my discharge is a bit pink/brown I never had this before having a baby just wondering if this is normal?

To start I AM NOT trying to conceive. On May 2nd I had some pretty bad pain in my right ovary area so I took an ovulation test as I am ebf and have not yet had a period.i thought this was positive for a surge? I've never used them. I am 4 months 1day pp today. Well I spotted a tiny bit yesterday and today seems I ha...

So from mid day Saturday I've noticed a big change in my baby's movements currently 34 weeks today. I went to triage on Sunday evening and they was happy with the monitoring so sent me home and told me to come back Monday morning if I was still concerned. I arrived at triage 8am on Monday as her movement through t...

the past couple of days, I’ve had really bad pain in my right leg, not my left at all. it’s hard to walk on the leg, but there’s no discolouration or swelling?? so unsure if it’s a blood clot. is there anyone else that’s experienced this, it feels like I’ve slept funny on my leg but I’ve had it for around a week now?

Hi everyone I’m currently 12 weeks and my anxiety is ridiculous. Not mentally, but physically it feels. Mentally I’m not anxious at all, but my heart will not stop racing, my body shakes, I can’t rest and wake up almost having a panic attack every single morning. I’ve recently come off of all my meds as I have a chr...
