Hey mamas. Anyone else feeling miserable or is it just me? I’m 36 +5 right now and I want this little girl out so bad. I’m having the worst pelvic pain and heaviness. It’s getting so hard to walk and be comfortable. The only time I’m feeling relief is when I’m sitting my butt or lying on the couch. I’m also sooo...

Does anyone else in the third trimester leak a teensy bit of wee if they cough or sneeze?

I can’t tell if I’m over thinking it or my baby has now just levelled out with a pattern but up until probably a week ago the baby had been moving semi regularly throughout the day, more so after food and it was like a little dance machine in the evenings. I mentioned to my midwife last Wednesday that on the Tuesday...

I genuinely don’t know if I’m just feeling things but I’m 12 weeks pregnant with baby no.2 and I genuinely think I’m feeling baby wriggle now and again, I’m not sure if it’s just because I know what I’m feeling or if I’m just being delusional anyone else felt movement really early?

I’m 31 weeks pregnant, been going off my baby’s patterns but I’m assuming he changed patterns so I’m going to kick count but unsure if it’s 10 movements every 2 hours or 10 movements a day. Does anyone else know what I’m looking for whether is 10 a day or 10 every 2 hours?

Anyone else having problems with their child just not using their arms for anything or even trying to roll over? HV has referred us to physio as she's never used her arms. No matter what I've tried/bought to encourage her to move. She'd rather suffocate herself into the floor than use her arms... Got our first sessi...

I’m 32 weeks and have had rescued movements twice in the last 3 weeks. I went to triage last night and the hooked me up to the monitor, they said the results were fine but I raised that for my babies pattern, it still wasn’t normal. When I got home I had a call from triage to say actually I needed to come back tomor...
