I have just started to get period like cramps tonight. Is this a sign of labour? I am 39 weeks today and have been active doing housework since 10 am up until 4pm.

Hi I have a weird post but after the miscarriage I can’t stop eating. I can run through 3 packs of snickers in one go. Eating larger portions of food Usually I don’t open my bowels but since the miscarriage I open my bowels every day (not runny) just normal. Is this happening to anyone? Thanks

Not sure what I’m going to gain from this but hoping someone may be in the same boat, I’m 19+3 and since 2 nights ago I have been bleeding during the night. Been to hospital both times who say both baby and I are fine but won’t test my kidneys/UTI. Did anyone else have this? Only happens during the night, if it happ...

Hey all, just wondering , is it normal for the c section scar to hurt a lot during your period? I was unable to breast feed, so got period back after 3 months. Thanks in advance.

We had our early Gender scan today! We know the gender, but lets see if you guys can guess what were having (Just abit of fun)

I’ve been having mild period cramps for a few days and low back ache today. A couple hours ago I lost a bit of mucus plug which was tinged with fresh red/pink blood. Does this mean labour is close? What are peoples experiences?

I'm not sure if anyone has been through something similar or not? Basically I have had bloating for years but over the last few months I felt like it was much worse. I went to the GP and they did some blood tests. They called me to say that my CA125 Level was normal but in the higher range of normal. I googled t...

I never experienced this in my last pregnancy but it’s the weirdest feeling it’s like I just need to move my legs about when I’m laying in bed😂 does anyone else get this

During my cervix check in early labor for my induction I asked the midwife to stop mid cervix check because it was painful and she straight up ignored me until she finished and then said while smiling “sorry I was just almost done” and then left after telling me how dilated I was. I thought about reporting her but d...

Found out we are expecting our second son and we are struggling as we were sure it was a little girl. Our sons name is Jonathan Patrick (JP) we don’t know whether to keep it with another old traditional name to match Jonathan or we have a few names we like that we feel may not go with Jonathan. Any suggestions would...

Hi! I’m only 5 weeks pregnant hence the anom! I have a 10.5 month old called Arabella Sofia, both my favourite girl names combined into first and middle (incase I didn’t have a chance to use Sofia) I love really girly feminine names, any ideas!? Boy names I love the likes of Wolfe, Mason, Romeo, Hunter. Those style...

Socks on carpet are a no go for me now. I slipped on the stairs and fell down about 5 or so last night. We have a townhome so stairs are everywhere. Could have been way worse, and thankfully I fell flat on my butt and lower back but it was terrifying. I hit the steps HARD and immediately began scream sobbing for my ...

Hi everyone, I’m currently 13+3 and as of yesterday, my sickness seems to have completely disappeared… I am still taking my anti sickness tablets but I was still getting nausea with them up until yesterday.

Since going into my third trimester, I’m having really bad rib pain. It’s a sharp pain and is really bad during the night. Has anyone else experienced it and anything that has helped? I’m taking paracetamol but I’m starting to become concerned with how often I am having it to relieve some of the pain

I have a private scan tomorrow at 6 weeks 2 days I’m so nervous for it after 2 losses I just want to see that little bean on screen 😫 Sometimes I don’t feel pregnant at all, the only symptom I really have is sore boobs, bloating and I’m super tired every so often! Send positive vibes our way for baby #2 🤞🏻❤️

Hey! Had my 20 week scan this week and was told I have a low lying placenta and if it doesn’t budge by my 32 week scan then I will need a scheduled c section! Has anybody else had this at all? My anxiety has been pretty high as I really wasn’t expecting talk of a c section at this point. Thanks in advance ❤️

The baby has been super active this morning and up until now I started feeling period like cramps. Makes me worried some, I keep running to the bathroom to make sure I'm not bleeding.
