Hey everyone! Is anyone else little one still breech at 37 weeks? I am booked in for an ECV tomorrow to try and turn the little guy but I am feeling a little anxious that it will stress him out so would be great to hear if anyone else has similar experience! Thanks

I am 18 weeks + 4, I have an anterior placenta and I could have sworn I felt the baby kicking. That side of my belly felt harder than the other side and I could distinctively feel something like kicking. But I don't want to get my hopes up 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 can anyone relate ??

I'm having twins and this is my 3rd NIPT retest. The last two took 6 days from the test date to get the results, but they were inconclusive. I did the blood draw a week ago and it has said they received the samples on the 21st since the 21st, and now it's saying this. I'm getting frustrated because this is my 3rd re...

Not sure if it’s clear

I'm in the 17th week and I don't know if it's the flatulence or if my baby is a martial artist🥊😱

My baby girl is now two weeks old, and I hate that in that little time I am already struggling. Pregnancy was not easy on me at all and labour was a traumatic experience so I guess it could be a build up over time. At the moment we are struggling with wake windows and extremely unsettled nights. I was wondering if ...

Has anyone had a gestational diabetes test? Are they as bad as people online say there are?😂

Just wanted to say to any mothers who may be having their test done that it's not as bad as others may make out.. the 'sugary' drink itself just tastes like flat unsweetened squash, I've been sat out in the waiting room for over an hour with some more time to go. If anything it's the waiting around with no food that...

Pic in comments? Skull/nub theory?

Hi mammas did anyone else decide to get the NIPT? I got mine done yesterday and am patiently awaiting results. They said it will be back in about a week

Anyone else who’s a first time mom getting very nervous about labor? 😬

Anyone else having a lot of stress from the gaps between appointments. I’m 16 weeks and don’t really have movement to monitor plus I have an anterior placenta so I’m feeling really worried about the baby. Especially because I had a toddler who is constantly climbing on me. It doesn’t help either that I get pains on ...

is anyone else’s blood pressure SKY HIGH at the doctors?! Mine was so high she was so concerned and I let her know I have white coat syndrome! How do you calm yourself down before an appointment?

Has anyone been suffering from anxiety/panic attacks? I’ve been waking up at 5am the last two days and just walking outside for two hours doing breathing exercises and talking out loud to myself to calm down. Never had them before so it’s freaking me out but I think they are just over the unknown as it’s my first ti...

What do we think?

So I’m currently 4w6d! I have the slightest period/poo discomfort in my lower stomach! I’m pregnant with my rainbow baby after a miscarriage at the middle of last year, so obviously very nervous about everything! I suppose i just want to know if anyone else has felt like this!? You always feel like you’re the only o...

Hey , has anyone else out there struggled with migraines most days after giving birth . Im 11 months post partum and have had migraines since giving birth . I had odd ones prior to pregnancy but now I have them 5 out of 7 days at least . The GP has tried medications but I’ve reacted to them ( struggling to breath et...
