Is having very few symptoms problematic? I’m 4w3d ish and don’t really have too many. Sore boobs(not bad like with my first) and a little nausea.

Is a changing pad really necessary to buy before baby is born? I see so many mom's that for the first 4-6 months, they just change baby on the floor or bed. We have a pack n play, with a changing area on it. If you think it's necessary to buy right away, Keekaroo or Skip Hop?

Having prodromal contractions for almost 10 hours, 4/5 mins apart. I'm exhausted. Went to hospital, not dilated at all at 4pm today, told me to come back when they are 2 mins apart. Any one experienced this? Do they end before actual labour?

So I'm 35 weeks with my first. I've been in the hospital for almost 4 days now in early labor. I decided to come in because I was cramping really bad and they found out I was already 3cm dilated. They are giving me medication to slow down contractions. Last night I was dilated to a 4 with my water bulging and the nu...

Babygirl is 3months today !

So I’m just curious, considering everyone has different pain tolerance. Was your pain during labour a gradual increase, or was it from 1 to 10 in an instant? For example me, my pain went from 2 to 8 the minute my water broke, and I was already 6cm dilated.

I have already had my peak and I am 3 days away from AF so what could be causing the darker result ? These are from yesterday and today

I’m completely worried about my little boy his umbilical cord fell off and he’s only 6 days old Now I need some advice I think it looks infected I’m thinking do we get him straight to urgent care or would it require more the midwifes to look at it as I’m really worried

Hello! I’m 22 weeks and I have the worst PGP…I sleep on my side and use a pillow between my knees. But with a toddler this pregnancy has involved many trips up and down stairs, sitting on the floor to play, and just being up and walking way more than with my first. I ended up in tears tonight due to the pain. Look...

Sorry if this is TMI. I'm only 15 weeks. I thought this would be more of a 3rd trimester issue? Honestly, it never happened in my 1st pregnancy. But now, at only 15 weeks, if I cough hard or do a big sneeze, I pee a little in my pants. Is anyone else having this issue already? Please tell me I'm not alone.

For the past 2 days I’ve been having cramps in my lower belly. Every 15 min roughly. Idk if it’s gas, poop cramps, or contractions. I feel like I have to go (lots of pressure) but when I do it doesn’t ease the cramping. I’m 35+4 so it’s still a little early. Nothing helps the cramping. Not heating pads, ice, walking...

Why did you have a c-section before 39 weeks? I will eventually have a c-section, but it's all new to me..

Question to mummas who have girl babies! If you remember your LMP date when you got pregnant with your girl baby, could you pls share the LMP date & your DOB? 😅
