So my first passery didn’t work. Not dilated any further.. Waiting 6hrs as I have had tightenings and it’s been on more than one occasion. So at 11 a plan will be made and I might end up having the gel next.

I have my 4d scan tomorrow. Was there anything you drank before to help get good images? Like coke or orange juice etc? My baby has been stubborn on each scan (…like mother like daughter😳) and I don’t want her covering her face again🥲🤣 Is it best for them to be moving or asleep?

How long after birth did you wait before getting filler again? It’ll be 5 weeks on Monday since my c section and unsure how long it’s recommended to wait before getting filler treatments again

I know people just think heartburn is like this minor side effect of pregnancy, but when it's all day every day and it BURNS like hell and your appetite is ruined by it, for 5 months straight, it's really no joke. I'm just so fed up of it now. Has anyone found anything that actually works to ease it?? 😢

39+5 today, feeling soooo fed up, tearful and scared. The suspense is killing me and the thought of going over 41+ weeks and being induced is stressing me out as well. Please tell me I’m not the only one….

this is my first time being pregnant so i’m not really not sure what to expect. so far my symptoms are lack of appetite, constant rumbling in my stomach, cramps which don’t seem to budge which then gives me waves of sickness but i haven’t been sick yet thank goodness, that’s the part i am dreading!

I'm 4 weeks post c section! I finally feel quite good in myself. I'm still bleeding but I've noticed the bleeding has got heavier is this normal? Also this is causing me to have stomach aches. Is this all normal?

i think im finally becoming a just enougher for my baby 🥹🤍

Just wondering if queen elizabeth your partner can stay not just during labour but before and after? especially during inductions I am picking between QEUH and RAH and I had a bad experience with RAH triage a couple times which has put me off.

Hi Everyone I'm just wondering if anyone here is in the same position as me, as I think it would help having someone to talk to. I had an anembryonic pregnancy in March, followed by another missed miscarriage at the start of October - we'd actually seen the heartbeat, but sadly our baby stopped progressing not l...
