How long were you taking pain relief after your c section, I am two weeks postpartum and feel I have a long way to go 🙈

So my 3.5 month old is struggling with congestion and we're not sure how to help. Our house has really high humidity levels which is causing mould in our bedroom, so we've had to start using our dehumidifier to stop the air being too moist and stop the mould coming back. Only problem is, that now seems to be causi...

Wondering if anyone else sees a faint line, super scared as I just had a C-section 11 weeks ago…(possible failed BC)

I have been signed off sick for almost 5 months now (work related stress). I want to return back on a phased return of 2 days a week to begin with. Does a phased return still count as sick? Just worried, I cannot afford to take a pay cut if it comes up to 6 months and they stop paying me.

so im a FTM and have no idea but i keep getting asked if im having any “leaking or fluids” and i always say no but i have discharge at least like three times a day i’d say, and its watery but also creamy but thats the norm for me. no doesn’t smell abnormal, doesn’t have blood or mucus, but idk if anyone else also is...

I’ve been having a really bad sharp pain on the lower left side of my stomach when baby makes certain movements. I have brought this up to midwife but they said it’s probably round ligament pain. The pain is only ever on my left side and has been happening for a few months now but is becoming more frequent and painf...

What did everyone’s baby weigh at the anatomy scan?

How accurate are growth charts? Checked and at 34 weeks it’s showing my baby is around 7lb already! Preparing myself for a big baby x

Hey! Im getting induced tomorrow night and up until now ive heard some people say they took baby formula in when going into have their baby, some people have said they got given formula whilst in hospital? Not sure now whether or not now to take some with me?

I am 6 weeks post c-section and really looking forward to sleep on my front, I feel pretty much recovered but wondering if anyone has tried and it’s been okey with the wound and internal healing

So I was looking at my pregnancy notes today after my midwife appointment and it’s said “Engagement 4/5” does anyone know what it means?I know it means baby’s engaged, but why does it say 4/5?

Can anyone suggest any boy names sounds like ending ie or begins with a J

Has anyone else got a very active baby? I’m getting slightly concerned. All day long pretty much she’s moving about now and the movements are so strong. It’s literally been making me jump tonight she’s hitting my bladder so hard. If I’m on a certain side sleeping she’s kicking me to move 😂 This is my second…

Hi everyone! Baby's quite active, and it's definitely baby kicking me as it's not like gas and I can feel it hitting my hand. However, I'm also really gassy! Does anyone know if being gassy causes more movement, or whether baby kicking can increase gas moving?! Or is it just a coincidence that I'm gassy and getting...

12 week scan is 12 December, do I have screening tests ? So unsure what to do and hear lots of different sides. I have been so anxious this pregnancy and not sure if not doing the test would ease anxiety or cause more. My bmi is very high to so will I be more high risk Thank you 9 weeks tomorrow

Hi I’m 24 +5 and my pelvic girdle pain is getting worse every day. Any other mums to be struggling and how do you ease it. I’m barely able to get out of bed 😩

This morning when i woke up i had quite a sharp cramp that lasted less than a minute. I had an extra scan today due to baby measuring a bit small on my previous referral. I am now having some slight noticeable cramping could this be braxton hicks?

There’s so much talk about weird trendy names of upcoming generations. I feel like I know a lot of people with uncommon names in the U.S. that stand out from the rest, but still wearable for that person. I’m not sure how well I explained lol just comment names of people you actually know to prove that it’s not just ...

Anyone struggling with constipation? I constantly feel like I need to go but then nothing comes. It’s leaving me uncomfortable and making me feel ill. What can I do or take?
