Silly question, anyone here who’s had a baby before, I’m guessing you know a contraction pain from a random shooting pain or cramp?

I'm almost 11 weeks and my right leg has been killing me. I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor about it. I've been massaging it and it's been working a little. Google has me feeling like I'm having a stroke or something. I don't remember experiencing anything like this my first pregnancy.

I'm posting incognito since I just took a test yesterday that was positive. Any advice for morning sickness? With my first I never had it and I was still hungry most of the pregnancy. I'm a few weeks late (I just went on a vacation so I had thought if could be stress that delayed my period, bit I took a test before...

Has anyone had acid reflux at 9 weeks? I’ve been suffering with it and can’t tell if it’s a pregnancy symptom or not this early

30 weeks

I am pregnant with my second and I’ve had extreme nausea (all day and night) since 6 weeks. I have cyclizine and Prochlorperazine but they aren’t helping at all.I’m not actually physically sick but can’t function already and I have to keep this from my work for at least 6 weeks to not jeopardise a promotion. So my q...

I'm 31 weeks pregnant and can barely stand for more than 10 minutes without my knees and ankles hurting so bad and feeling like they're on fire. Do compression socks actually help with the pain? I never needed them with my last 2 pregnancies but this is also the most I've ever weighed 😅

Hi. not sure wether to ring my midwife or not. i’m 34 weeks. the last 2/3 days i’ve had a lot of cramping and i’m really struggling with the pressure of my belly. my left hip literally feels as if it’s going to snap with the pressure. but thinking it’s just all normal during pregnancy? has anyone experienced similar

Hi! I have had awful acid reflux for the last 4 weeks or so of my pregnancy. I am now 12 weeks pregnant. I’m always so nauseous that I don’t want to eat. So I have acid reflux so bad. Then I eat something and it doesn’t seem to help. It’s so bad my tongue has an orange acid film on it. I take tums but that doesn...

Anyone else getting this? I’m only 33 weeks. I swear I didn’t have it until later on with my first.

Did anyone go in for reduced movements towards the end? i am 39+2 weeks and not feeling baby as often. Would they suggest any sort of induction? I’m just so fed up now and want it all to end. It’s been a difficult journey🙁

I’ve been getting period like cramps (but much more intense than I normally would) I wouldn’t say unbearable but definitely stronger than they were when they started. Last between 20-45 seconds and happen between every 3-8 minutes (irregular) I had some bleeding but already rang triage about it and they said to moni...

How would you change baby’s bum on a plane? X

I’m almost 37 weeks and the past few days I’ve been having these period kind of pains. Like the dull ache that makes me feel like I’m gonna pass out and it goes down my right leg. Is this normal? I don’t think there’s any pattern to it, it just lingers for a while.

I woke up this morning with a pain in the back of my leg around my knee. It’s not the whole way down but more like the size of a tennis ball. It’s worse when I lie down. I do have Sciatica but it’s on my other leg, it runs the whole way down the back of the leg from like my hip right until under my foot. Any idea of...

I’m 39 weeks tomorrow and can’t donit anymore, I feel so tired! My belly is enourmous, I can’t sleep, having heartburn all night, going through 5-6 gaviscons a night even that I don’t eat any heartburn food and don’t eat after 6 pm. It’s so difficult. I go to pee every hour during the night and can’t sleep anymore o...
