Please no judgement, I know this is going to sound ridiculous. It was my little boys first birthday party today and I’m 37 weeks pregnant with my first. We got the rounders kit out and I decided to give it a go and now I can’t walk from the pain in my pelvis. I’m fine when sitting down but unbearable pain when I try...

Just started getting period cramps feeling. Does anyone know if this is the start of labour? I'm also getting tightening lower first then it's all over, just had the strongest contraction or Braxton hicks, it actually brought me to tears. Could this be the start?

This is the first picture of me growing my bubba as it’s taken a lot for me to get used to my body changing even now I can’t say I love the way it looks but I have to remind myself my body is doing an amazing thing carrying and growing my baby boy. It’s not long left until I have him here in my arms and I really am ...

Should I be worried? I am 38 weeks pregnant and I went to the toilet for a pee, after I had finished I felt almost like a weird feeling - as if when you cough on your period - and looked into the toilet and seen this.. can anyone give me any advice? Can clearly tell there is a bit of blood there

Anyone else feeling these movement, that aren't really flutter or kicks, more like a sudden lurching, or feeling of baby rolling over?? I love it but can also be very off putting when you aren't expecting it!

My LO is 8 days old today, and I see these blood spots on her clothes. Is it normal? She is fine otherwise.

Hi Mumma’s I have a 5 month old and she keeps doing this with her arms when being lifted and held sometimes I’m concerned this isn’t normal. Before I go to the doctors to check did anyone else’s baby do this? Many Thanks 😊

I’ve been having period like cramps since this morning at 39+3. The intensity isn’t really changing that much, they’re maybe a little stronger than this morning but definitely doesn’t feel like a contraction. Could this be the start of something or am I getting excited for nothing?

How do I know if I’m leaking amniotic fluid or if it’s just sweat?😂🙈🙈

Little bit of reassurance if possible lovely people! So many people have said that I have a small bump for 33 weeks and that I’m also carrying really low - they say this with a concerned expression! Should I be worried?

I am 35 weeks and 5 days I’ve been experiencing bleeding most of today I phoned the hospital they said it sounds like thrush the cramps are getting worse and the bleeding isn’t stopping. I dunno what to do

Last week at my consultant appointment I had Leucocytes++ in urine, but no symptoms, my doctor said it would be sent off. I heard nothing and when I went to my midwife appointment this week on Thursday she said the results were not published, which is what I could see on my badger notes. Midwife dipped my urine and ...

Should I go to the hospital feeling so much pelvic pain and pressure to the point where I'm crying and having to hold on to things when walking

Is slight cramping feelings at 34 weeks anything to worry about? They are not super painful I’m just kind of conscious of them.

I know bodies are all different .. but I am 20 weeks today and I still don’t have a bump. I see all these other women with noticeable bumps and it makes me nervous and sad. Anyone else 20 weeks and just look bloated?

Ladies, looking for some advice. I’m 19+4 and I’ve had a bug for the last few days, I’ve had periods of sickness & diarrhoea. I’ve been eating minimal and drinking what I can (less than a litre a day) and it’s complete wiped me out. Today I feel better (just lack of energy) But…I am absolutely petrified that the...

Hi all, I have been really rough with nausea for the last few weeks until Thursday last week where I had the worst night sleep of my life (the nausea was the worst, night sweats were insane having to change all my clothes in the middle of the night as I was dripping, really bad sleep, crazy dreams) and then since th...

I just wanna know I'm.not alone in how weird pregnancy can be. My toddler has just had a poo, normally they never ever bother me but right now omfg I feel like I'm gonna throw up the more I smell it and I can't change it as its making me feel worse whenever I get close to him😂😭 Can't say I've missed this part of…

Hi everyone I’m 7 weeks and 1 day today- up until yesterday morning I had been fighting crazy all day nausea and a chronic bloated tummy. No nausea at all yesterday, last night, or this morning and my tummy is now completely flat :/ is this a sign of miscarriage or could it be something else?

I'm exactly 18 weeks today and think I've felt movements the last few days - some pops and some sort of rolling movement if that makes sense? Fairly frequent since yesterday. But then today I've also had lots of sort of muscle spasm type sensations, always in exactly the same spot, about an inch below my belly but...
