What did you name your babies and why? I'll go first... I named my baby Elliot Stuart John and every part of his name holds a piece of my heart ❤️👶. My nanna’s initials were E.T., and she always joked that she was the alien from the movie E.T. 👽✨ She would point her finger, smile, and say, “E.T. phone home.”…

I had a scan yesterday due to placenta previa and been told that I need a planned C-section due to my placenta covering my cervix. Has anyone had a planned section? & could share some positive stories🥰

Hi all, I have an 11 month old not pregnant but for fun what sibling names would you pair with it? Boys and girls. I love nature based and literary names with strong name meanings, my partner is more traditional so it has to pass his veto test lol.

So tested positive 3 days ago last night i had dark brown blood in underwear and minimal cramps this morning the brown blood has gone really light and cramps are very very minimal but weekend the early preg unit doesn't have a sonographer so I cannot check and I'm literally panicking anyone else had this?

12 week scan

I’m 39+5 and the last couple of days I’ve been having to go to the toilet more and I’m clearing myself out quite a bit. As of yesterday and today, I’ve been nonstop feeling sick. I have quite a bit of back pain and haven’t lost my mucus plug or had a bloody show yet though. I know this can be a sign of labour com...

Has anyone booked a early scan? As I did and turns out I'm having twins! I'm still in shock and I'm really scared.

Feeling a bit bored and like I'm counting down to nap time sometimes or like I'm waiting for adult company too 😂 so looking to see what sort of things everyone else does x

So I know this group is for mamas in their 30's. I'm 29 (30 in 3ish months) and want to do something special for myself. The only thing is, I have absolutely no clue what to do other than maybe a photoshoot. Please help! I've never really done anything for my special day other than eat with family. I can't and won't...

Just tryna see something here: A while ago I cut contact with a “friend” of my partner and I (long story but mainly boundaries being overstepped) he still speaks to them sometimes, I do not. Let’s call them ‘friend A’. Friend A and her husband introduced us to some friends of theirs around a couple of years ago a...

Hiiii, can anybody explain percentiles to me and what they mean? I was measuring small by my midwife on Wednesday below the 1st percentile to be exact, so I was worried. However, I went for a scan yesterday and they seemed happy with my baby’s measurements and said she was at the 45th percentile. FYI my gestation ...

Please share your stories of being induced (positive only). Do you have to stay in hospital until labour or can I go home?

Currently 28 weeks with my second. Am feeling much more unorganised this time round, I'd already done the nursery and washed all the clothes by now in my first pregnancy. I still have the next2me, pushchair, play mat, bouncer but they're stored at our house and some at my mums. I have done nothing! I've not ev...
