Unsure if I should call triage as I’m not sure if this is really classed as ‘reduced movements’ I’m 37 weeks tomorrow and I’ve never really experienced reduced movements before, I would really necessarily say my baby has a ‘pattern’ for movements either, IE Morning/after eating etc, he’s just pretty active in gene...

My little boy was conjunctivitis in both eyes they are so sore and swollen! Anyone been in this boat. We finally got drops from the doctors today but they are so sore and he hates me bathe them which I have to as they stick together. I feel awful seeing him like this 😞

Is this normal?? So yesterday morning I had 3 lots of sickness. Thought that was the start of my morning sickness but today I've had nothing (not that I want it) but just worried something may be wrong🥺😬 Anyone else had this?

Sometimes I wake up in a panic bc I slept hard for a long stretch and it takes me a second to gain my bearings and find him. (Even tho he’s always in the same spot by my belly, my sleepy brain just searches up by my pillow first)

Those who are suffering badly with sickness, is it starting to improve yet? I had HG with my first and it probably started to become manageable at about 17 weeks and that was still with medication. Really hoping for it to get better sooner this time!

Help!! I woke up around 5 am to severe period like cramps that have been pretty consistent. Also having lower back pain. On March 24 I was 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Am I in labor???? We just live an hour from the hospital so I’m scared to go in and it be too soon..

Anyone had bleeding / cramping at 10 weeks pregnant that has ended up being ok? I’m on progesterone and had bleeding and some cramping last night which has stopped now. Booked in the EPU for a scan tomorrow morning but can’t help thinking the worst :(

Hi - what month did it get easier for you with baby ? Mine is only in my arms doesn’t want to lay down - she’s three months old! I’m so exhausted and annoyed I want to enjoy motherhood more but it seems impossible now! Will this go away? Please help! 😢😢😢😢

The last two days I’ve had this really uncomfortable pain not sure if it’s like a muscular pain or something else. Do you think this is just part o round ligament pain or should I get this checked out? It’s literally under my (small) bump area

Is anyone else’s baby easily getting onto their sides when trying to roll? It just feels so early, especially from back to belly

Heart burn has started three days ago. I’m trying to avoid triggers but any advice on how to treat it without taking rennies or gaviscon?

My son will be 6 months on the 5th and he is capable of rolling but he just doesn’t. He also is very much capable of holding himself up on his tummy but again only ever does it for a minute then puts his face down. Have I just got a lazy boy 🤣 someone put my mind at ease my daughter was doing things way before him…

Anyone else having the same this early ??
