Anyone else having problems sleeping on their side? I keep getting a numb/tingling leg on my outer thigh and have to change position every hour which is exhausting me cause once I move I then get Braxton hicks lol. I had a Google and apparently it’s something named this. It’s on both sides and it’s ok in the day whe...

Did your period become heavy after having a C section? Specially the very first one after having the baby?

My MIL funeral is soon and she has asked to be have a church service and then be buried, but the church chosen doesn't have a cemetery, so I don't understand how it works. If the service is at the church, after the service would she then be moved to another church (about 20mins away) to be buried, do we go up as we...

Recently had an emergency Cat 1 C Section and have since had reoccurring nightmares/ flashback’s of the event. Has anyone else experienced similar and if so, how have you addressed this?! Thank you! Xx

Hey guys, I had my second child 4 months ago and took this test this morning… we are not trying but did have a slip up not long ago… we’re EBF and emergency contraceptive is recommended to pause BF for 8-24 hours after taking (which I didn’t know!!). I would absolutely love another baby, but starting to panic as my ...

What are we getting our babies for their first brithdays? I want to get a few cute little presents for her to open but nothing really expensive! Any ideas would be great!!

Hey mamas, booked in for an induction tomorrow. I previously didn’t want to overpack my hospital bag but now thinking I’d much rather have more than less as I could be in for much longer. If you went through induction was there anything extra you took or wish you had taken? Thanks x

Is anyone just over being pregnant? I’m only 32 weeks but I’m so ready for baby to come already. I have a very active one year old and I’m just exhausted and uncomfortable all of the time. I feel guilty sometimes because of course I want him to grow and be healthy but June just isn’t coming fast enough for me.

Anyone seeing a line? I feel like when I zoom in it’s gone but when I am looking from afar there is a shadow…🤷‍♀️

Hi, I got my BFP on Friday!🥺 Had 2 miscarriages last year and feeling so anxious. I’ve never made it past 6 weeks to get the early scan. When is everyone else having their first scans?

I have had bad PGP for weeks now and now I’m struggling to walk/drive any distance at all. I noticed when I stood up this morning the pressure feels further down than it was before, it’s like there’s a heavy ball lying right on my cervix and I have to keep my legs open to a degree or it’s seriously uncomfortable. P...

Has anyone else had a constant pain/pressure under their stomach around this many weeks in pregnancy? The baby is moving fine, but the pain is a lot more intense when I'm standing/walking which I'm struggling with. It's also making me need the loo a LOT! I'm not sure If the baby has shifted her way down a bit whic...

So I’m 99.9% certain I’m currently going through a miscarriage, I was supposed to be 9 weeks pregnant however over the past few days I’ve had really really heavy bleeding, strong cramps, I’ve been passing very large clots and large clots of tissue so in my own head I know the baby has gone, I’ve got a scan later on ...

I am 39 weeks and 3 days and I haven’t had any signs of labour at all, has anyone use clary sage oil to bring on labour? Just not sure how safe it really is

Hi Moms! I just turned 30 on the 14th and I’m still in disbelief. Wasn’t I just 23 at a music festival like a year ago?? Where did the time go. 😅 Regardless, I am excited for this next decade and hopeful I can keep up with my almost 2 year old. 🤍 Just curious: what’s your must have skin care item?

Anyone else?! How are ppl spending their time when overdue? I know about all the things that can induce labour but I do think they will just come when they’re ready and not entirely sure all the things actually help. My toddler is at nursery today and I just don’t have much motivation to do anything really!

I’m 29 weeks today and have projectile vomitted my breakfast up for no known reason. I haven’t got HG and haven’t had morning sickness since around 22 weeks. Should I ring MAU?
