Hey ladies .. I am currently 14 weeks and have been taking the pregnacare since I found out I was pregnant. When do people start taking the pregnacare plus??

I’m absolutely losing my mind. I’m only 10dpo, and I know I need to wait. Try again in a few days. But… I have become so deranged with testing. I just test all day long. It’s driving me crazy. Does anyone see anything?! Why do I sometimes think I can see something? 😭

Anyone’s little ones had chicken pox whilst you’re pregnant with ur next baby. Wondering if it’s something I need to be worried about as Google is pretty 50/50. I tried to book a GP appointment and got told to speak to pharmacist and then when I mentioned about being pregnant, the receptionist told me “I wouldn’t k...

I didn't experience it with my first. I've been told the baby is head down, I've got bad braxton hicks that's making me feel sick. I'm starting to worry he will be early. Has anyone experienced this? I'm only 29 weeks 🫠

This pregnancy was very much wanted and I was excited when I saw the positive test. Baby will hopefully be my 2nd and LG is almost 2. Long story short I have worked out I won’t be entitled to mat leave. We are currently renting and were supposed to be buying a house but now thinking of moving in with my parents ju...

I am 32 weeks pregnant with my second baby. And I have been carrying high with my girl. But the last couple of days I only feel her movements down in my lower belly and pelvis. My hips and lower back have been hurting so bad. And nesting is in full blown right now. I have been sleeping really bad lately. Part of tha...

Now that I’m pregnant again my youngest is all over me.

Anxious about baby’s development Hi everyone, i have a 15 week old and ever since she was a few weeks old I’ve been incredibly anxious about her development. It stems from her having severe reflux since 2 weeks old which we eventually managed to get a CMPA diagnosis when she was 9 weeks old, however prior to that I...

My baby has been head down since 28 weeks, I’m 35+5 now and just got back from a midwife appointment and baby is now breech! Has anyone had this happen and did they turn back down before 37 weeks?

Last week I had an unpleasant conversation with a family member who went on and on about the books I need to start reading "you don't have much time!". It made me feel really bad about myself and as if I'm failing at this already. I went through IVF to get pregnant and I prepared a lot for it. Since getting a posit...

I'm 37+2 baby isn't due till 3rd dec. But have my section date off 22nd so he will be a November baby 👏🩵. And I feel bad for feeling like this but I've just had enough. I seem to just have had one health issue after another and another, even the way my body/bump looks is getting me down. And it's horrible because…

For anyone who has to have this don't worry it's just a high concentrated version of a Capri sun drink 😋

I am currently 36 weeks and baby dropped about 3 weeks ago, I heard ftms can have baby drop a few weeks before labor but I'm wondering how long it normally is.

Feeling like I can’t comply with the six week rule anymore, I’m 4 1/2 weeks PP. did anyone else wait?

I just got out on bed rest due to my blood pressure. I am 32 weeks pregnant and I feel so helpless. My fiance and his family do so much for me but I feel awful bc I can’t even move or my bp shoots up. I go from my parents couch to my house and into bed I’ve been crying since I got home about an hour ago and idk what...
