I'm 34+4, I'm excited to be a mum. But since I've been on maternity leave, almost 2 weeks now. I just feel lost, useless with no motivation. I feel it's just a waiting game. Also I've had to inject blood thinners into my tummy every night, and I hate needles. It's getting harder now, less flesh to grab. Also got d...

Anyone else’s LO twirl their hands and feet a lot? Is this classed as stimming and should I be seeking professional advice?

So last night, I barely slept. So woke up absolutely exhausted. So I rang in work sick. My boss said sleep and come in for the afternoon. I've then slept an hour and messaged saying I still wasn't good. So wasn't coming in. I feel awful and guilty not going in. But jist felt so crap. Anyone else rang in. I feel path...

20 weeks tomorrow and I’ve woken up this morning with what feels like a softer stomach to normal. Is this concerning?

When did/does your baby actually start to create a kick pattern? I was told at 24 weeks but I have seen mixed messages about this. I’m 23 weeks and every day I feel as though she has a different pattern so some days I start to worry that she isn’t moving at night but way more in the day (she always moved at nigh...

Hi all 👋 Need some advice/assurance. I am someone who is used to being very active, going to the gym 3+ days per week and 10k+ daily. I’ve been able to mostly do that up until week 32 but over the last few days I am really struggling with fatigue and exhaustion.. I know exhaustion is common with pregnancy, and…

I’ve just seen on a Facebook group that babies are only suppose to stay in chair/swings /bouncers for 30mins maximum as the same rules apply to these as they do car seats ?! I had NO idea that positional asphyxia was associated with the chairs and my baby had spent the longest of about 3.5 hours in there as she was ...

Hello, anyone else experienced blood in urine at 14 weeks? Hoping it’s nothing worrying and just a UTI. Had bloods and urine sample done. Sat at A&E absolutely terrified. Been to the toilet again twice and no blood. No pain.

I work in an office 5 days a week. I work 8:30-4:30 with a 30min lunch break. During my lunch break I only really have time to eat and sit down and then back to work. I get up at 6am to get myself and baby ready to go to leave at 8am. I get home at 5ish and with nursery pick up I don’t usually get home till 5:15is...

Am being, is anyone else in same boat? Is it worth going to just get. Checked? Did mention to. Midwife other day for it to be told it’s a...

My left side of my rib cage feels like it’s on fire. Is this normal?

Does anyone else feel the baby kicks near the pelvic area?

Just woke up to intense back pain that I can’t sleep through. Bouncing on my ball provides a little relief. Is this a sign labor is near? Had my bloody show Tuesday but nothing since. Feels like my lower back is in a bad tight knot—doesn’t come in contraction waves.

i’m 32w and over the past week or so baby has been very head down and doesn’t kick as much anymore. he will in the evening have his time but all day he is rather quiet and i will feel him wriggle every now and then or he will make my belly go hard because he is there. but it’s not a whole lot of movement a day. he i...
