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 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?

I had a third degree tear with my first and am due with my second in 7 weeks. Just wondering how second birth went for people after a bad tear? Also please comment experiences - I am due to have an elective C-section but am still back and forth about what I really want to do

We had our 20 week scan last week and they’ve only been able to find one kidney. A second sonographer had a quick Look (because we didn’t get photos) and also couldn’t see it. We were reassured that children can live with one kidney and the functioning kidney grows larger to compensate for the missing kidney….althou...

I don't want to have a party and it's such a rubbish time of year for outdoor activities but he's obsessed with vehicles so really wanted some kind of bus/train/tractor ride.
