I’m about 9 weeks from my due date. Me and my partner are driving back from our babymoon a day early because I haven’t slept in 3 days (the whole time) I’m so exhausted and I can’t stop crying, not to mentioned I’m in a lot of pain. I’m real worried how I’m going to cope with a newborn if I can’t even cope with 3 ni...

How are people coping with anxiety around babies health during pregnancy. I’m 21+5 and the last couple of days I was starting to feel baby but today nothing and now I’m worried. I swear usually if I press around my stomach I can feel babies heartbeat or them moving or something but I can’t even feel that now

Hi girls, I’m sure I have got thrush :( i have messaged my midwife but her phones off with it being Sunday. Has anyone had thrush during pregnancy? Is anything safe to take?

Hi all! I’m 22 weeks. I started to feel little butterflies etc about four days ago which were pretty much at the same times in the day. Over the past couple of days they’ve pretty much gone. I felt a little bit when I was sleeping but not much. Is this normal? This is my first so I don’t have a clue. I have also su...

I have the snuzpod 3, could the material below the mesh be considered a sids risk?

If you took SSRIs during pregnancy, was it worth it? Did you see any size side effects? I'm 14 weeks with baby #2 and I'm not doing too hot... first pregnancy I was a cool as a cucumber, this go around I am sad, frustrated, and have so much rage that I am suppressing I may be able to crush a brick with my butt chee...

Hi! 39 - second time mom but the first pregnancy I was a lot younger and had zero issues. I was experiencing a little bleeding early on at around 6 weeks and went to ER they said Subchronic Hematoma. They saw it again at my 8 week scan and said they need to watch it to make sure it doesn’t grow and I’m on pelvic res...

I failed my glucose test with my first pregnancy and would love to skip the extended testing this time. If you passed on your first attempt, did you eat beforehand? If so, what did you have, and how much time did you allow before the test?

I will be 36 weeks tomorrow I was wondering is 36 weeks still 8 months or is it 9months

If so what week are you? I’m nine weeks and it’s getting harder to hide.

Hi I’m 25 weeks pregnant and went to triage today and my urine has a lot of glucose in it. They think I have GD and I have a test on the 10 April, what happens when you have GD please? I have no idea about it, thank you x

30 weeks and 3rd trimester has hit me like a brick wall. Hip/lower back pain, leg pain and aches and genuinely just uncomfortable most of the time…. Also been super emotional last couple of days, crying at everything and just feeling super low. Is this normal at this stage?? I’m dreading how I am going to feel i...

I’m 6+2 weeks so VERY early on, I just had a bath which only felt warm when I got in, but I started to feel really warm. I didn’t sweat or get red skin, but felt warm enough to be concerned and get under a cool shower. I know that this can be so risky in first trimester, but I can’t get any reassurance from a midwif...

So I’ve been referred to a consultant this pregnancy after being high risk and having complications during my last pregnancy but I’ve not heard anything! Is that normal like am I do early?

Is this last bit of pregnancy a living nightmare for anyone else? My anxiety is so high, random panic attacks, heart palpitations, can’t sleep, start to fall asleep and jump in a panic, feel sick, restless legs driving me insane, can’t relax without waves of anxiety hitting me, acid reflux so severe I have to slee...

So I’m 19 weeks and a few days but officially at the half way mark ( I have to have baby by 39 weeks ) I’m way bigger than I was with my first at this point and definitely feeling it.

I’ve gone off the deep end my previous, copious amounts of soda slushies, cheesecakes, ice cream every night type but this time I need to feel good😭

I have a 1 year old son and I’m about to have a new baby I’m nervous about how my 1 year old is going to react has anyone every had a situation like this or been in a similar situation
