Has anyone used the typical day schedules from “moms on call” book? If so, how is it going for you? My baby girl is almost 5 weeks and I wanted to start following the schedule. My only thing is at night sometimes she doesn’t finish the bottle and also do you have to follow the schedule to a T? It seems like the sche...

I’m 12 weeks pregnant with my second and this pregnancy is so different from my first. With my daughter I was feeling all of the symptoms. Boobs hurt, nausea, exhausted, headaches and everything you could imagine. Now I’m pregnant with a boy and I feel literally nothing except tired. I’m so tempted to call my OB eve...

So the very few people we have told and general jokes about whenever we have a second baby have always been that our second baby will be a terror due to our first being a very good baby (she is 19 months) I know these comments are being said in jest and I laugh them off but I am a little scared and worried about hav...

I’ve been told by my GP that I have Strep B, I’ve been suffering from UTI symptoms for 4 weeks, my urine sample was sent for testing and they’ve only just told me now that I have Strep B. They’ve gone through complications during labour, birth and post birth. I’ve also been told it can cause preterm labour. Baby is ...

How accurate are the NIPT gender results for non identical twins? I know the accuracy for NIPT is around 95% accurate but heard it’s less accurate when determining sex for twins (non identicals) as each placenta releases its own DNA.. is this true?

So I'm 35+6 with my first baby and don't know if I should be concerned or if it's completely normal but my lady parts are swollen, Google says it's normal but part of my brain is questioning if it's a sign of labor, I guess I'm just trying to ask if anyone else has experienced this or if I should be worried?

I’m 15 weeks pregnant and had a couple of mouthfuls of tiramisu at the weekend without even thinking and now I’m worried anyone help a paranoid mummy out here 🤦🏻‍♀️🙏please

Anyone else struggling to eat during the third trimester? Not because I lost my appetite or don’t want to eat, but because the second I eat, I’m so full, between my stomach and my baby that I’m miserable for hours…. I try to do small meals during the day but dinner usually does me in at night!

29 weeks and since hitting the third trimester I’ve been absolutely the most uncomfortable I’ve been! 😂 my back is in agony 24/7, if I move too quickly I get shooting pains across my bump ( guessing this is round ligament?) it hurts to get up sometimes. Absolutely grateful to be carrying my little miracle but I…

I’m worried about my eating habits, I would only eat one meal a day, if that. My appetite is very low I’m drinking plenty fluids but I would eat a few spoons of my food and that’s it my appetite is gone. Is this happening to you?

First time mom🌸My baby isn’t due til February 15th, idk if I’m delusional because I want my baby or I’m overthinking orrrr if it’s my newfound mother intuition but I alwayz feel like my baby will be born early😅

Got diagnosed with pre eclampsia in pregnancy and still dealing with the shit from it now. Doc said I might have to be on BP meds for life. Can I live a long life with BP meds? Kinda worried

Hi all! I’ve got my GD test in a couple of weeks and I’ve been testing at home myself, I think my numbers seem to be fine post meal but my fasting bloods have been around 3.5 - are these too low and would I then be classed as having GD for low sugars? It’s around 5.7 on average after eating.
