Everyone talks about how hard the TWW wait is, but the wait for your first ultrasound is actually much harder! I’m 6w3d and have fatigue, headaches and cramping/hip pain. I know it’s all real, but I feel like I keep gaslighting myself. My ultrasound will be at 10w1d… I don’t know how I’m going to make it that long! ...

Hi, any ladies who have delivered on the Swan ward at Warwick hospital - could you please let me know if your partner was allowed to stay with you overnight. I looked online I saw they have to leave after 9pm but just wanted to check as realistically I want him to stay🙏💕

I've just found out I'm pregnant after missing my period but having cramps in lower belly and above belly button.. is this normal? Or could this be uti as I also have burning sensation when I wee (sometimes)

My midwife and I have discussed inducing me at 38 weeks due to not wanting me to go to 40 weeks , what are people’s experiences? This is my first baby so I have nothing to compare pain to but I just want to hear some people’s experiences? I am receiving 2 membrane sweeps between 37-38 weeks to try and bring labour ...

I say hit coz I can’t say kick when it was 3 places at once 😂 wow my belly looked so weird there 😂😂 the only bit that was still flat was the top left which is where my placenta is 🤦‍♀️😂😂 was like he just starfished in there

Going for my 20 week scan on the 10th of March, but curious to know what everyone on here thinks?

Second time momma here.. I’ll be 32 weeks on Monday and I’ve been having contractions for the last couple days, severe lower back pain, and pressure that feels like everything would fall out. I actually had my grandmother look and she mentioned my anal had looked prolapsed. Last night my husband took me to L&D and a...

My midwife offered me a membrane sweep, what I didn’t want it because I wanted to wait for start my own, but still nothing happen, so now she ordered me for induced labour on Monday with hormones tablet pessary (its gonna be 40w + 5 days). Could you anyone tell me what should I expected, how long will be lasts and h...

I’m 18 weeks and have no contact details for her; I’ve seen her once. She calls me from an unknown number but not sure if it’s normal or not! Who do I contact if I need help?

Hi. Recently found out I’m having a baby boy. Please share some baby boy names as finding it so hard. Thank you ☺️

First pregnancy - I've been feeling strong movements since 20 weeks, I'm now 26. The last day or so I've still felt movement but no longer across my stomach in line with my belly button. At both scans they've been sideways facing my back. The movement right now feels like I'm being kicked in the ass 🤣 very tender…

Being induced on Monday and not sure what snacks to pack

With my first I lost my mucus plug 5 days before he was born - I know losing it doesn’t indicate any specific timeline but when you combine this with the intense painful lightning crotch, constant Braxton hicks, on/off cramping, 2.5cm dilated at my appt last week, kinda makes me think something’s happening in the ne...

Hello all. I think my 12 week old is showing the first signs of wanting to roll over but I'm not too sure. Recently when they're on their back. Their body from the neck down has started to twist to the side. There are times when it looks like they might actually roll over but their head is still too heavy and not...

If your due date was October 3rd but you need a c section which would be a week early (September 26th) would you put October or September on your pregnancy announcement?

12wk scan yesterday measuring. 12+6. Anyone guess the gender?? We will find out in 3 weeks🥹

Is it normal to have heavy cramping? It literally feels like when I’m about to start bleeding on my period. Definitely not Braxton hicks as I’ve had those for a while and they feel different.

Has anyone experienced this and still been pregnant? I feel absolutely gutted 😣 trying not to let it get to me since period isn’t due for 3 days

What stage did everyone’s symptoms start? I am 5 weeks and currently nothing but with my first they started from 4.5. I know everyone is different but I can’t help but worry

After giving birth on the 17th of January, I had very bad head pain, and I made the doctors aware of this and wasn't taken seriously.. Eventually, I got a doctor who listened to her patients, and well, they did a scan just to discover I have a massive blood clot on my brain. I've been in and out of hospital since, a...
