So I trapped a nerve around Christmas time, it still plays up now and then, does anyone know anything in how to manage back pain while pregnant? Can’t lay flat on my back, can’t have a hot bath, can’t use ibuprofen gel so I feel stumped on how to make it feel better now

I keep waking in the night with period like cramps, that are quite painful and last 2-3 minutes, it’s been a few nights now. Is this braxton hicks or could it be something else?

I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant and I am struggling, I feel like I can’t breathe, I hardly sleep, my hip and pelvic pain is unbearable, I am exhausted, I’m working still until 38 weeks as I’m in an office at home but even just sitting there is getting too much. I am so miserable and snappy all the time and I just ca...

Is anyone else getting fed up of bleeding? I’ve been bleeding for over a month and this week I thought I’d finally seen the end of it! Had no blood just yellow/oragney discharge as if I was coming to the end of a period, then I’ve woken up today and have bright red blood all over again 🥲 feels like it’s never…

Did anyone get really bad indigestion/ heartburn as one of the first signs? I've been ttc for nearly 2 years now so as much as I'm in pain and waking up at 3am with it I'm really hoping it could be my time. Tia x

I expect a full head of head on this little guy after the amount of heartburn he is giving me

I’ve been having severe lower back ache/pain so severe can’t sleep without my partner massaging it and painkillers don’t work. Having pain in my lower abdominal/ near my vagina which feels a lot of pressure and constantly going toilet because of pressure. I can’t walk properly or sit down and stand up not even on th...

Had my 28 week growth scan and they mentioned baby is breech. They kept saying ‘don’t worry but hopefully baby will turn’. I’ve done some reading and know there are yoga poses etc to try get baby to turn. Has anyone tried these or should I wait and see if he turns himself? Stressing out already as the last thing I w...

Morning sickness gone and feeling hungry again at 12 weeks is this Normal? I’ve felt great for the past few days since hitting 12 weeks!!

Im so exhausted. I barely have an appetite and I’m always nauseous. I’m up all night because my baby literally moves and kicks the whole time. So that means I sleep the entire day. My child’s father literally has to wake me up to eat. Is this exhaustion normal in the 3rd trimester ?

Anyone else waking up really early and struggling to get back to sleep?? Just lately I’ve been waking up anytime between 3am and 5am and I’m finding it so hard to get back to sleep. Do people get up and do something? I’ve been awake since 3am staring at the ceiling but what the hell do you even do at that time? 🤔

My little one is a 95 percentile baby ( born January 9). And she still isn't rolling. Does anyone else have a bigger baby, that hasn't rolled yet? 😪 Im starting to get worried

I have been having strong cramps and I have been tracking it on an app. It’s been 3-5 minutes. Am I in labor?

She keeps kicking like this a lot. 17weeks this Friday but doing this very often

Literally the day before I hit 19 weeks I started feeling like when I swallow food or liquid, it doesn’t go all the way down and like gets “stuck” in my chest. I’m told this is like acid reflux or heartburn, which I’ve never had. I tried tums to no avail. They say don’t lie down or bend over within 3 hrs of eating b...

I’m 18 weeks with my second and I haven’t felt anything that feels like definitive movement yet. I have maybe felt some bubble type feelings but I’m not sure if that’s baby or gas haha. Anyone else in the same boat? Anxious to be feeling regular movement already, I know it’s still early on. With my first I was feeli...

When does it end!! I want to eat and not feel like I’m going to throw up the whole day. Like I don’t feel hungry I just feel nauseous and gagging so much 😖😖😖😖. And even the cravings don’t even feel satisfied….

Hi moms! This is for the moms that basically raise kids alone due to unique circumstances not in our control. Just wanted to ask you guys if you’re also so exhausted all the time. We don’t really have people to watch our kid so it’s just me and my kid all the time. I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed what to do every day...

I’m 27 weeks (feels like 27 months) pregnant with my first. From the second I found out I was pregnant till now, almost the end of my second trimester, I have been EXHAUSTED. Breathing is exhausting. Sleep is semi nonexistent, but even on nights I get a solid rest, I still can hardly function the next day. I was tol...
