I had my little one in October when I was 19 and I turned 20 in the November. All the midwives and health visitors have been absolutely lovely however as soon as my little one went to the gp for his jabs I felt so judged by everyone there! All very cold towards me and talk down to me as if I have no idea what I’m do...

Was diagnosed with placenta Previa any good outcomes I’m so scared 😟

Hey everyone! Happy holidays. Im 37 and 18w 3d at the moment. I'm getting really nervous about my 20w scan, and if everything will be okay.

Hi I need a little bit of advice ! I’m 8 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I’m super nervous for labor even tho it’s still longs way to go . What are some advice to going more natural ?

So I had my baby girl 12/4. The first time around in 2023 with my baby boy I was concerned and stressed about my milk supply as a first time mom it ate me up and stressed me. This time around I’m not stressing about that. This time I don’t like how my body looks 3 weeks post C-section (2nd one) I’m highly scared of ...

*Positive stories/advice only please due to health anxiety* I’m 6 weeks 6 dayspp and am formula feeding. I stopped bleeding from my c section around 2/3 weeks ago.

We have a 2yr old and an 8 month old which means baby no.3 and my 8 month old will also be 16 months apart like my 2yr old and my 8 month old. Very nervous and don’t really know how to feel...

Hello, I am a new first time mom to be and I have been prescribed adderall my entire adult life (I’m 30). I was told by a friend his wife took adderall during her pregnancy and it didn’t cause any complications to her or the baby. I’m hoping to get other reviews or insights from women who may have taken it or stoppe...

I’m 39 weeks and so close to my due date. I’ve had so much pressure recently and today I’ve got pressure in between my legs and in my bum cheeks slightly. Did anyone have this before labour?

Is anyone else past their due date and struggling mentally with the uncertainty? I’ve had on and off low level period pains for weeks with no real changes or progress. Mentally finding this stage really challenging and I know that won’t help my situation as I need to keep oxytocin flowing. All of my pregnant friends...

I have my appointment this Friday nd wondering how it felt for some of you guys ? lol

I’m currently PP 12 weeks and Ian feeling I might be pregnant. Advice on any ladies that had a c-section and any issues getting pregnant that early?

Hey mamas! I just had my little one two days ago, via c-section. I really want to indulge but I’m taking hydrocodone for the pain. Would it be too risky to take a small edible while on these meds? I’ve been waiting so long to indulge and this pregnancy was rough! 😩

39 weeks today. Membrane sweep in the morning. (If they can perform one I guess) Fingers crossed this helps get things going! Send positive vibes my way please!!

I’ve been a bit naughty today and eaten more or less what I wanted today and all my readings have been fine. I had Christmas pudding for dessert and tested 30 mins after my meal and then every 15 mins just to check and no spike. How?? I get a high reading having wholemeal toast with eggs and avocado for breakfast…

First time mom here, so tired and wanting to be done with this pregnancy but also feel scared when I think about going into labor. Anybody else feeling this?

is it safe to take benadryl while pregnant?

Had my three hour glucose test today (Merry Christmas Eve!) and threw up after she took the second vital of blood. Naturally was sent home and told to call my doctor. Dreading having to retake it if that’s what the OB thinks is best. I’m feeling absolutely defeated from this whole process and I can’t help but blame ...
