My May 24th boy baby made his early arrival at 35+2 weeks! Little Frankie ❤️
Unlikely to be a June mumma now as I’m in hospital as my waters broke this weekend. I didn’t actually even realise (break at the top of sack) and came in for severe back pain, and then they tested me and it was positive for amniotic fluid. They’ve said baby could come in next 48 hours, or potential it could still be...
Hi I just wanted to ask when everyone got their c section dates as I’m 39 weeks today and still haven’t had my date or even anything to do with my c section yet
I'm from the UK so am wondering if it's an access to healthcare thing or something else.
Is it consistent? My baby hasn’t moved since yesterday afternoon.. just worried if it’s normal or should I get it checked?
Feeling v blessed! Confirmed girl 😊
What do I put as my last period date if I miscarried last month and positive pregnancy tests this month? Would I put Februarys period or the date my miscarriage bleeding started last month?
What would you class as premature? My baby was born at 36+4 so i know technically he was prem but I'm so cautious with saying that, i usually just say he was a bit early. I guess this is more a question for mothers with premature babies as i don't want to lessen their experiences of dealing with all the health issu...
So happy and excited after getting a peace of mind scan yesterday 5 weeks pregnant can’t wait to see you grow ❤️
Hey ladies! I’ve just got back from my 34 week growth scan (currently 34+1) so I thought as always I would give you all an update. I had this scan due to reduced movements. Baby girl is still head down (cephallic presentation) however she’s not engaged. She’s gone from the 12th centile to the 15.7th centile. Her est...
Hiya! I have a c section booked (UK NHS) and I have to be in at 11:15am as I am scheduled for the afternoon, just wanted to know what to expect? I know things don’t always go to plan, I’m trying to prepare for if there is a long wait and the fasting required (am I allowed water?) TIA ❤️
Names like Arthur, traditional but not that common?
Hi all! I'm 35 weeks now and baby was engaged 2/5 last week at my midwife appointment. Since then, I've been getting an increase of Braxton hicks (frequency, how long they stay for but not pain). I now get a feeling like my bladder is being literally pinched and sometimes when I go to the toilet it feels like my bod...
Hi girls, my sons pediatrician not8ced a heart murmur at his 2 minth pediatrician appointment and yesterday at his 4 month appointment she said he still has it and is getting us a referral to get an echo done to be safe.... I am so worried for my baby boy..... any experiences with this anyone can share?:( thank you
My baby is 10 weeks old, she went 6cm - birth in 18 minutes. She swallowed alot of meconium and had a lot of mucus and has had congestion/been snotty pretty much since birth. I've done saline spray etc but she just can't get it out. She does drink but sometimes has to keep stopping where there's so much snot. Doctor...
