I’m currently 32+4 weeks pregnant and suffering with I think trapped wind. It’s agonising pain that gets worse with movement and touching my stomach, mainly at the top of my stomach. Has anyone experienced this and has any advice please?

I’ll be in SD for my babymoon at 34 weeks and want to be prepared just in case. I don’t have any risk factors for preterm labor and my midwife said I’m fine to travel. I’m planning for an unmedicated birth, however, I assume if I do go into labor at 34 weeks I’ll need some sort of medical intervention. Any hospital ...

Hi, I feel like a saw a sign that said you don’t need a full bladder for your 20week anomaly scan at the royal hospital. Now I’m starting to doubt myself. Can anyone advise if you need need a full bladder?

Im currently 30+4, and was in hospital 2 weeks ago with severe pain across my belly that came and went in waves.

I’ve had blood pressure problems since 16 weeks and currently on aspirin which has helped keep it steady this along side general anxiety has made me really anxious for a vaginal birth.
