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?

Hi everyone I have a girl called Indie and now pregnant with a boy. Wanting names that would go well with Indie pleaseeeee

She’s been like this since birth. Literally never sits still unless she’s fast asleep. Should I be worried? She does have severe allergies and silent reflux but this is all the time, not due to her tummy problems.

We were reassured that children can live with one kidney and the functioning kidney grows larger to compensate for the missing kidney….althou...

My HCG at 4w3d was only 191. I can’t go again till Monday, when it’ll have been 72 hours. Is 191 too low? I’m honestly terrified; this is my first pregnancy after 9 cycles trying!

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.
