I'm curious if anyone else's mom or mil is being insensitive to your wishes.

Any advice from people who have gone through thi...

Despite only having positive scans and feedback so far … I am 21 weeks, but go through phases of pure anxiety thinking about all of the worst things that can happen. I cannot wait to just have the baby and know it’s safe and healthy!

I used to be concerned about it in my last pregnancy but with a toddler I tend to forget and it’s not really causing any issues other than sometimes a bit of cramping when I all of a sudden need to go.

Hi Mums 🥺 I'm really conscious that my baby is over weight!

Found out I’m pregnant and due in the same week as I was with my first 😬 Boy being in the first trimester, having a very demanding cheeky toddler and opening up a new children nursery feel a tad overwhelming today! All I want to do is sit down and chill but my little boy is the complete opposite to this and wants…

Hey ladies, I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and my belly has gotten very hard! No other symptoms really other than lower back ache that I’ve been dealing with the entire pregnancy! I can still find my little girl move, so assume it’s nothing to worry about?

Hi moms!! I feel a terrible first time mom… we still don’t have name for my baby girl… 😭 anyone with the same problem?
