I really wanna know when it’s safe to dye my hair during pregnancy. I’ll be 13 weeks on Saturday but my hair is literally growing the most white hair I’ve ever had. I’m so tired of it. I wouldn’t be bleaching it just hair dye from a salon.

I know not everyone’s period lasts a full week but in this scenario it does. Waiting for my postpartum bleeding to end and just curious if we’d be willing to trade monthly bleeding for a long period that lasts about 3 months and be free the remaining 9 months of the year.

Seem to have hit me like a truck starting 25 weeks :(

Question lol did y’all do your monthly pictures on exact date like my son was born September 3rd so every 3rd of the month. Or by the weeks like he will be 12 weeks on November 26 and technically that is three months???? Idk how are y’all doing it haha

This is my second pregnancy and my gosh I am so uncomfortable. I do not remember being this uncomfortable with my first! I’ve suffered with itchy skin during this pregnancy which I’ve been prescribed cream for however tonight the cream is not touching it, my whole body aches, I cannot decide if I’m warm or cold and ...

I'm 36weeks pregnant with baby#2 and I haven't been away from my daughter for more than a couple hours since she was born. She obviously can't come to the hospital with me while I'm in labor, but she can visit in recovery after. I'm so nervous about spending my first night away from her, especially since she'll poss...

Have no idea when it comes to the nub theory😂, please guess away! 13 weeks, 4 days x

Does everyone get offered the gestational diabetes test? I’m 34 weeks and I still haven’t had it? I’m confused 😂

I’m hopeless with the nub theory, but just for fun what do you think?! X

How are you coping?? I feel like i am in for a struggle this first trimester. I’m not even 6 weeks yet and i feel dreadful. Nausea started last week and sickness has hit today 🥲

So this is my 5th baby and since I turned 35 weeks yesterday my tummy has dropped so much, walking hurts, so much pressure. Had the midwife assistant come today for the safe sleep check they do and although she only met me 2 weeks ago when booking the appointment even she could see how incredibly low I am. My partne...

I have my 6 week appointment in 2 days. I just started my period again. Should i rechedule my 6 week appointment or can i still go. Im not entirely sure what the 6 week appointment consists of.

My EDD was 7th April 2024 , how far pregnant was I on 19th October 2023

Ive got my c-section booked next Wednesday at 39+3 and I'm honestly so anxious about baby potentially coming before then, really unlikely anyway but feeling hyper-aware of every little thing. anyone else the same? 🙃

Anyone else experiencing issues at work with other seniors not giving a hoot that you're pregnant? Not in the sense that I want them cooing over me and expressing interest, but actually understanding that I'm growing a human and things are a lot more difficult?! I have a very demanding job in retail and I'm constan...

Have I over examined it to the point where I see the nub rising & could be a boy?

So mason was born on July 30 do we count 4 months on November 30 or this week as he’s 16 weeks n there’s 4 weeks in a month so is he 4 months yet 😂 do u do it by calendar month or ever 4weeks ?

Hoping someone will have the answer for me here. Will the NHS test for gestational diabetes before 28 weeks? I'm nearly 17 weeks and could tick off nearly every symptom. I didn't have it in my first pregnancy but diabetes runs in my family so I've been listed as higher risk for it. Any advice appreciated. TIA x

34 weeks today and boy am I nauseous again. Not like I’m actually going to throw up but more so that baby is literally in my chest cavity and it’s giving me that queasy pressure sensation. Plus all the squirming around is not helping. Any tips? I am finding that someways I lay are better than others but ugh…. 6 mo...

Hello everyone, I am currently freaking out and need some reassurance. I ate some toast with jam this morning and then went to put the jam away and saw mould all around the rim of the jar and the lid! I am now freaking out. I called maternity assessment unit but the midwife said I should be fine because it’s unlikel...
