Sore hips!

22 weeks tomorrow… I’ve just had a terrible sleep, my hips hurt sooooo bad when I was trying to sleep! I’d switch sides and it would switch with me! Anyone else had the same problem?

Extreme fatigue

Anyone else suffering with extreme tiredness? I have a 2.5 year old at home all day with me and really suffering. Not quite sure what I can do I’m getting between 7-8 hours sleep at night so I’m not tired because of not getting enough sleep

Is anyone else suffering with nose bleeds??

I’m 21 weeks and recently have noticed to be waking up in the morning and having a nose bleed, is this normal? I’m guessing it could be due to hormones x

Cramping

Hi. I haven’t told anybody that I’m pregnant yet so I can’t really get advice. I’ve been cramping but how much cramping is too much cramping. I am so anxious so I got my HCG Tested at 4weeks1day and it was 437. I’m just unsure what signs and symptoms are okay….

Fatigue / exhaustion

I’ll be 31 weeks this week which means I have (what feels like) a LONG time until my MAT leave starts and I am struggling to much with my energy. I’m exhausted physically and mentally from the moment I get out of bed. I’m not sleeping great either - getting a good 6-7 hours but it’s very broken, waking every hour. ...

Postpartum

I am almost 3 months ppd and I am seriously having a issue down there. So I bled for the 6 weeks and it wasn’t too heavy or crazy. Then I got the depo shot and started bleeding like mad. Lasted for 22 days. Went to the midwife and she said I had a reaction to the shot and that she didn’t think it was my period . Lik...

Can a stretch mark show up in like 5 minutes?? Because I swear this wasn't here earlier today 😭 *pic in comments*

More context: I'm 23 weeks with baby #2, and this child has been GROWINGGG. I've gained so much weight, but it's all belly. I didn't get any obvious stretch marks until afterwards with my first, so I'm not sure if this is normal. I didn't have this mark this morning, and now I have what looks like a cat scratch on m...

Back pain for 8 months after epidural

Finally decided to go see a doctor because this is ridiculous. Ever since I had an epidural because a needed cesarean I've had back pain. Every time I lie down. Also if I stand in place to long I get bad back pain. It's less when I walk but I still can't walk long periods without pain. Anyone else having this problem?

Feeling exhausted (31 weeks)

Hi! I am 31weeks pregnant and the fatigue I have been feeling since week 30 has been so tough. When I talk to people who are ahead of me, they mention how everything has been smooth for them and I feel so defeated. The doctor thinks it's a growth spurt and the fatigue will subside in a few days which am inclined to...

What is your favorite craving which makes your day way better?

I'm trying to lose weight but I cannot resist the Costco chocolate muffins with warm milk mixed with green tea!! My husband said to drink milk tea to increase milk supply. Lols. This makes me so happy and I enjoy my day rather than hating life. I want to go to the gym afterwards though. I get so motivated to do stuf...

It has started for me today I'm 30 weeks 🙃 I felt it a lot with my first child, especially in the first trimester. I forgot how uncomfortable it could be... well, it's official he's going further down and pushing his big head against my pelvis, lol
