Pregnancy

Rory finally here at 42+2 weeks and weighing a big 9lb 2oz. Failed VBAC sadly so please hit me up with your best C Section recovery tips! I can’t remember it being this painful before 🫣

I wondered to know people's opinions and experiences with this. I've said the partner who earns the most pays the child benefit tax but don't know how much that will be or how it works. Not sure whether claiming is worth it at all, we are both closer to £60k mark and would be putting the money in baby's (newly born...

Hi all, Hoping for some advice/info please. I’m 9+2 and 42, so reasonably geriatric as first time mum’s go🙂! Can anyone advise when my NIPT testing is likely to happen and what the results look like/say, would anyone mind showing their results? The pic is from US results, I think. Are the UK results as clear…

Hi ladies, I’m 31+2 weeks, and me and my partner had sexy time and he finished in me last night. All day today since I’ve woke up, when I’ve been wiping, this stringy, clear, jelly like mucus has been coming out of me. Is this my mucus plug? Should I be worried? Thanks all!

I was admitted today to be induced but baby’s heartbeat is making it impossible once it dipped down to 70 and then after 4 hour again on the monitor he goes above 170 then 90 them suddenly 236 then 99 and now still on monitor but just sitting in the hospital and nothing else to be done other than monitor him to see ...

Cord fell off about 3 days ago. Keep finding blood on clothes and now accidentally touched it with wipe and blood is coming out??

What are we all packing drink wise in our hospital bags? Some have recommended lucozade sport, others have recommended normal lucozade, stuck on what to pack!

Went in for reduced movement last night (all ok just had a really quiet day) but I wonder if I was having braxton hicks? I never had with my first but there was quite a distinctive tightening and this was what the monitor picked up. Just wondering if it looks familiar to anybody else, I’m probably reading it all w...

Has anyone else’s 12 week scan confirmed they are actually further than what you’ve calculated yourself? I’m 10 weeks but I’m sure I’m more … Xx

On and off period pains.. no tightening, no mucus plug/bloody show, has anyone else has this? 37 weeks today 🩷

Hi all, currently 20 weeks pregnant with my first and starting to think about what I need for my hospital bag - I have no idea of how much of anything I will need to take to the hospital for both me and baby! X

What signs did you have that labor was near? Like next 24hrs near

How to quantify if the baby has been moving less? What should be considered as reduced? I am confused and worried at same time

We would like a name with at least one nice nickname and a Greek root. Open to middle name suggestions too!

I have an anterior placenta and actually have felt movement for some time but no consistent pattern. Had my midwife last week who told me I should start to keep an eye on movement but I’m not sure how long to wait is normal etc. she said I’ll know my own routine which maybe will come soon but wondered if anyone else...

Why do people name their kid one thing but call them something different? I’m not talking about pet names. Examples— 1. Child is named James but is called Jimmy. Yes I know this is an older nickname for James but if you’re just calling them Jimmy, why not name them that?? In my opinion James isn’t the kind of nam...
