Baby decided to make an early appearance 🤍. Just a reminder to pack them hospital bags these December babies are not waiting around for no one 🫣😂😂.

Think we got the start of/a dye stealer today at 4wk +4 🥹 Also a bit scared as the line progression has been helping with reassurance after a previous loss but I know once I get that 3+ on the CB weeks test I won’t be able to use that anymore….🙈 Going to do that final one on Thursday when I’m 5+1🤞🏼✨🌈

Hi ladies im 37 amd I had a c section ( emergency but not traumatic) with my first baby and now pregnant with no2. I can't decide whether to go for elective c section now or try natural birth...

Does anyone have this? How do you manage it? Just got a diagnose and now I'm worried about how the side i sleep on puts pressurre on the colon, plus what foods are absolutely no nos.

Would love if you could add some detail - boot, on the seat, is it a struggle, why? Doing some research so the more replies the better ❤️

Little Louis made his appearance at 37 weeks!

Does it flow well with big sister Lyla? Middle name suggestions too please!

2nd pregnancy. 17+4 When did everyone start to feel their first movements. I’ve lots of scans and checks and baby has been extremely active. But haven’t felt any flutters myself yet

All 4 are family names (great grannies); Madeline, Ruby, Annie and Phoebe. But which goes best with Jim and Pops? 4 weeks to go and we keep going in circles 🫠 happy for suggestions too!

I was having pretty consistent contractions in the middle of the night last night, they were so consistent the app I was using to time them told me to get ready to head to the hospital or contact my doctor. Well then they just stopped and I’m so upset because I just want to be done. Has this happened to anyone else?

I’m pretty positive I lost my mucus plug last week… last night when I got up to pee I noticed I was spotting.. I’ve had a few very mild (not even as bad as period) cramps.. Baby is still moving and kicking. My OB office for non emergencies doesn’t open until tomorrow morning. Should I just monitor until I can call...

38+2 i’m pretty certain my baby is sunnyside up. what can i do to get her to flip facing my back before labor starts?

Hi ladies, I’m only 12 weeks pregnant but wanted to announce the gender of our baby on Boxing day to family with some gender reveal cakes. How do people do this without finding out themselves? Obviously I know the NHS scan won’t write down what they think it is… but would a private scan? & then I can give it to the ...

Starting with the pessary and every other form!

In THE UK do you know any Thea’s or do you think it’s becoming a common name

24 weeks and can’t lie I’m starting to get worried about the size (or should I say lack of size) of my bump. It still seems tiny? Little man is ok because I feel him doing the Macarena in there every night but I am now starting to worry that maybe he isn’t growing properly? Anyone else had a really small bump? I’m 5...

Can’t choose between Hazel, Martha and Rae! Help!

When did it stop feeling like you were just surviving? I'm almost at the end of 8 weeks, and things are getting better, but I definitely still feel like I'm in the trenches.

12 weeks scan

27 weeks and started leaking colostrum in the shower, started hand expressing for a min or two to check that’s what I was seeing forgetting that it’s not recommended to do so before 37 weeks. Chances of everything being ok I’m paranoid now?
