What wipes are everyone packing for hospital, we use Asda sensitive that day suitable from newborn) for my toddler but I do have a couple packs of water wipes too.

Hey mommas! Does anyone know when we get our matb1 forms? I’ve had my 20 week scan but didn’t see a midwife. My next midwife appointment isn’t till the new year xx

I’m 38 weeks and haven’t yet quite made up my mind about natural vs c-section as long as it’s an option. Would be great to hear from other mum’s how they ended up deciding? Thanks and much love x

Hey ladies, To those that have had a c-section how’s recovery going? I cannot seem to get comfortable enough to sleep at night (it’s only day 2) but everything is so sore

Who feels their baby moving all day? I have a posterior placenta and can feel him wiggling about all-day om starting to think when does he actually sleep haha when I wake up to go wee I even feel him when I'm going back to sleep lol

I’m 39 weeks wanting to try only going to take 1 tbsp and then see if anything happens

Only just reached 24 weeks but haven’t felt baby move as much all day, when am I supposed to be worried or call in or reduced movements?

This afternoon I went to the hospital because I felt I was leaking fluid. They tested it and confirmed my water did break but baby was doing good and I wasn’t really having contractions so they sent me home to see if I would go into labour on my own and if not they want me to call at 7:30 to let them know and they’l...

I have been booked into an afternoon slot (morning was full) but unsure what time they are likely to do mine? Will it get cancelled all together as too late in the day?

So I’ve been testing all positive tests, cramping pretty much all day today. Bleeding not like a period but when I wipe it’s quite redish is this normal?!

Anyone else have a 2.5 month old who is constantly kicking or moving something. I know I shouldn’t compare to other babies but my baby has zero chill. Should I be worried?

So my June baby is going to be a big sister as I have my elective c section in the morning. I was so emotional putting her to bed tonight knowing she won’t be my only baby now 😭 I can’t wait for us and her to meet her brother but I’m also feeling sad that it’s not 3 of us anymore, there will be 18 months between…

Such a great feeling to go into labor naturally this time instead of how my first which needed medical intervention. He is a happy healthy boy weighing in at 7lbs 6oz💕💕💕

Feeling like I’m very much in the trenches. I haven’t slept longer than a 3.5 hour stint in 7 weeks. My baby is really struggling with wind and constipation and nights are bad. He’s cluster feeding during the day so I can barely put him down. My toddler has a raging fever and my husband is out at work today so I hav...

it’s definitely a sensitive topic especially to those that have experienced one before.. i was 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant today. i went to the ER late friday night because i started spotting with sharp cramping pains.. they gave me a pregnancy test and was positive of course, tested my hcg levels and my levels were...

Any tips for pelvic girdle pain relief? I can’t even roll over in bed without being in agony

I’ve had a headache since Thursday. Wake up without one but as the day goes on it’ll get worse and worse. After I fall asleep and wake up to go pee I won’t have it anymore. I am getting enough sleep and I think I’m drinking enough water so I don’t think I’m dehydrated. Last time I took blood pressure it was elevated...

Hi all, Got my first period after 12 weeks pp. I’m changing my pad twice an hour is that considered a normal pp first period? I’m not in agony but I am really exhausted and cramps. No big clots either

I am pretty sure I’m having my first period after having my baby. However my cramping is minimal, but the bleeding is a lot. It’s definitely more bleeding than any period I’ve ever had but not as much immediately after my c-section. I just want to check if this is normal or if I should be concerned. I’ve been discha...

32 weeks along here. Who else has debilitating back pain, mostly in one spot, every single day where you have about 2-3 hours after waking up each day before it starts 🙃 sooooo exhausting!
