31 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Been experiencing headaches the last 2 mornings and noticed intense swelling in my hands this past week, hard to bend my fingers. Also baby hasn’t been moving as much in the last 2 days, should I go to the hospital? Am I overthinking/ overreacting?

how comes people already know when their 12 wk scans are ? My booking appointment isn’t until 9th december and i thought that’s when they book the scan ? I’ll be 12 weeks on 31st dec

I’m 26+3, for the past two days I’ve noticed movement which has maybe been a bit gentler than the few days prior. On Monday I started getting kicks which moved my whole stomach for the first time(!) and now I’m just getting the slight kicks and taps I got the week before. I have an anterior placenta if that makes an...

I get overwhelmed sometimes with how much I should be doing with my baby during the day: tummy time, vitamin D, getting her used to the pram, cot naps, the sling, interacting with her, and watching for wake windows. I often feel like a failure at the end of the day because I only manage a few of these things, on top...

Did the rvi let your birthing partner stay with you during your whole stay, was the staff nice and did you get a privet room? Xx

So so grateful to be pregnant but struggling so much with the nausea and sickness. Just turned 7 weeks and I can’t keep anything down 😓 Can drs prescribe medication? Which ones do they tend to prescribe? Considering calling 111 for help

I’m 37 weeks and all the sudden I’ve had pelvic pain when I stand and walk it feels as it’s coming from my pelvic bone is this normal?

My husband has just revealed to me that our daughter’s name ‘Libelle’ does not mean ‘precious’ like he told me 3 years ago.. ..it actually means DRAGONFLY ?? He’s been laughing about it all day but I am fuming. I love the name but I am so tempted to change it before she starts school. Thoughts???

Has anyone had dreams about going into labor and then actually gone into labor some what soon after the dreams start. I know some people don’t believe that dreams can come true. But I keep having dreams every night for the last week about going into labor right before Christmas and it just makes me wonder if my body...

So the last few days, I’ve been having crazy uncomfortable pain which feels somewhat similar to pain I’ve felt my last pregnancy.. in my hips, my back, and pelvic area. It’s cramping pain, and just very uncomfortable. But since early yesterday afternoon I’ve been feeling what seems like contractions, my stomach gets...

Is anyone feeling a lot of pressure on their bladder? I feel like it’s being pushed on or squeezed haha it’s not painful just annoying I never had this in my first pregnancy

First baby was breech (they missed it completely) and large (they also didn't know that). I had a cesarean. I know it's such early days but I'm already stressing slightly over the cesarean vs VBAC option. Does anyone with older kids have any experience or thought about any of this?

Baby decided to make an early appearance 🤍. Just a reminder to pack them hospital bags these December babies are not waiting around for no one 🫣😂😂.

Think we got the start of/a dye stealer today at 4wk +4 🥹 Also a bit scared as the line progression has been helping with reassurance after a previous loss but I know once I get that 3+ on the CB weeks test I won’t be able to use that anymore….🙈 Going to do that final one on Thursday when I’m 5+1🤞🏼✨🌈

Hi ladies im 37 amd I had a c section ( emergency but not traumatic) with my first baby and now pregnant with no2. I can't decide whether to go for elective c section now or try natural birth...

Does anyone have this? How do you manage it? Just got a diagnose and now I'm worried about how the side i sleep on puts pressurre on the colon, plus what foods are absolutely no nos.

Would love if you could add some detail - boot, on the seat, is it a struggle, why? Doing some research so the more replies the better ❤️

Little Louis made his appearance at 37 weeks!
