Pregnancy

Born via emergency section after a bit of drama in labour… which makes sense given how dramatic my pregnancy was 😅 the main thing is he is here and he is safe!! He only needed the one day in neonatal too and has passed all his checks for his pleural effusion ❤️ I’m still in hospital with him as I’m struggling a…

Our little may 1st baby arrived safe and sound at 7:15am on 10/05/2025, born in the water weighing 7lbs 5oz after 7 hours of contracting with gas and air and only 30 minutes of pushing with no pain relief 💚 she looks just like her daddy, she is so perfect 🩷 While she was safe, I managed to get myself a 2nd degree…

My lil buddy is 4 months today 🥹 where does the time go?! Post your 4 month photos!! 💚

Hi, this is my first pregnancy and obviously as much as I’ve read on here and online about what real contractions feel like etc. I’m still just wanting some clarification. I’m 37+3 today and the past few days/nights I’ve had some low down cramping, like period pain and my stomach has gone hard a few times. I also ha...

We’ve just had an appointment with a urologist, and she doesn’t think my son has a left testicle (he’s 6 months and she said by not most people with one that is undescended have come down). Although I know there are worse things - I would like to hear from people who have experience of where there is no second teste...

First time mum here!!! I’m soon to be 24 weeks and have yet to feel a proper “kick”! I’ve felt the squirming when I have my hands on my stomach but that’s about it. My midwife did mention I have a high anterior placenta so I assume it won’t be for a while which is a bit deflating!!When did people start feeling baby...

Hi all 👋🏼 I am currently pregnant with baby number 2 and had my growth Scan today at 28 weeks + 2 days. They said that baby is a bit bigger than anticipated and that there's more fluid than usual and signs of glucose in my urine. All of this they think may add up to gestational Diabetes and I need to book a…

Hi. I had my 36 weeks midwife appointment today and my baby is measuring on the 3rd percentile. 2 weeks ago was on the 10th percentile. I am a bit scared and worried. Someone that had this late pregnancy on the 3rd percentile and everything work out perfectly in the end? Thanks

Need advice all day I had tightening in my belly and in my vagina and bum I’m getting pains . I usually only get the tightening in the stomach what last like a hour but this has been all day but don’t want to call up and they do swabs and say it nothing I’m stressing out

Hello all! I’m hoping to breastfeed baby 🤞🏻 but I know things don’t always go to plan! We do have some bottles in the house as I would like to express a little while down the line and just wondered should I pack any in my hospital bag just incase?! Also any other tips for baby’s hospital bag are welcome!

Afternoon mamas, what are we doing to naturally induce labour? X

Hey everyone! I know there’s a big debate around this because how the hell can they accurately measure a bump when you’re so bloated depending on the time of day 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🤣 Do you eat before or after your bump measurements? My appointment is 1pm so awkward time! Also will be first bump measurement if that makes a…

I’m having a lump in my anus after I finish a poo and it seems to go back in on its own once I’m done. It has only started happening recently and I’m really worried. I’m due for my C-section tomorrow and I’m worried the constipation that will follow will further worsen it.

Yesterday I had a sugar tooth and binged on sweets and ice cream, I had over 100g sugar in the space of a couple of hours… I had a scan today (36 weeks) and they saw baby’s abdomen is measuring larger than normal so I have another scan in 2 weeks and a diabetes test next week. I feel like if it’s confirmed I have ...

My husband and I just had our first baby, a boy, in August of 24. Im having baby fever bad! What’re some pros and cons of having babies close in age? A big factor for me is I had postpartum preeclampsia and there’s some evidence to suggest having pregnancies closer together can lower the risk of reoccurrence, but I’...

What’s everyone’s little bean called? ❤️
