I’m currently 13+3 and that last few mornings I’ve woke up to pink discharge? No cramps, no red blood, and it’s only on a morning, does this sound normal? Had my NHS scan on Thursday and they noted no bleeding from near baby but it’s getting so worrying x

I've been having on/off cramps the last week but last night I had some increasing contractions, ended up going to get checked out then everything just stopped! The hospital said it's probably early labour, I never had any of this with my first baby - has anyone had this before and if so how long until baby came haha?

I just wanted to share a pic of my 5 year old son's drawing if a cake, the candles got me 🍆 lol!!

I'm just wondering when you get moved to a high-risk pregnancy, as well as an additional scan, do you have more antenatal appointments as well?

Did anyone get really bad anxiety around baby’s movements? I’m 28 weeks tomorrow and baby still doesn’t have a pattern. Some days she’s moving non stop but then can still go a couple of days with just a few kicks here and there. I’ve called triage and been in the hospital for checks twice this week and they did a ...

Is being induced mean that labour could be more painful for those that know

I had a c section exactly a month ago and every seems to be healing really well, however in the mornings when I wake up it feels like I’ve done a 1000 sit ups, I’m sore I ache then as soon as I’ve got up and moved around it goes, same for the evenings ? It also feels a little tingly stinging sometimes but not sure i...

Any mummas out there who have had a successful VBAC after a C section? Specifically in a short period of time? I had my 1st baby March 2024 and now due with 2nd baby April 2025 (13months difference). Will I be able to try for a VBAC or will this be too soon?

I think I’ll be having a c section today due to still no progression. I have had a previous c section as an emergency and I have been trying to avoid this all this time and go into spontaneous labour but he just won’t budge. I definitely have birth trauma from the first time so if anyone has anything positive to say...

I’m 31 weeks - Yesterday I had cramping for about 4-5 minutes and then it went. I had the same during the night last night. Wondering if I need to give midwives a call or is this normal at this stage of the pregnancy?

Anyone else at 28 weeks and still struggling. I’m still vomiting most days. Nauseated for hours on end. I’m struggling so much. Loosing weight and absolutely exhausted!

What do you think?

my beautiful boy born 20/11/24, i’m in love with him😍

We have found out we are having a girl!! We need names to match her brother Elijah and a double barrelled surname! So far we have Phoebe and Lily but need more recommendations please :)

Hello everyone, I posted this a few weeks back but never had any responses, so just trying again because I would love to hear from anyone who has had any experience in this. I am really keen to have a home birth and mentioned this to my midwife. She explained to me that there is very limited availability and so to...

Is anyone elsecopung on light sleep a few hours each night?

Has anyone else been struggling with sleep? I’m 18+4 and have suddenly started waking up at about 3/4/5am regularly and can’t get back to sleep. It’s driving me crazy! Any tips welcome! 🙏

My significant other had a dream that I slept with someone aka cheated. His reaction in his dream was that he beat me up really bad after the guy left. When I asked him if that's something you would actually do, he replied that if I ever cheated, he would "beat the fuck out of me." This has been on my mind for th...

I’ve been having a tightening sensation in my back and stomach every 1-2 minutes for the past half hour lasting 30 seconds to a minute each. I’m trying to follow the 5-1-1 rule so if this keeps up I’ll probably go in, but where im struggling to decide if this is really finally it is because each contraction feels a ...

37 weeks and tonight I feel nauseous and like I am going to throw up. Plus I am so uncomfortable and I am getting up to pee every half hour 😭 cant wait for Monday to get checked and see if she is engaged and if she is coming any time soon.
