Looking for some advice, last month I had reduced movement, I ended up going to hospital and being seen at around 10pm, I was monitored for nearly 2 hours and then sent home, I got home just after midnight. Of course at that point I felt quite worried and struggled to sleep, probably fell asleep at around 1/1:30am. ...

Anyone else had the last few days in a row of major stretching and tenderness? I’m 18 weeks and the last 3 days the stretching has been really uncomfortable, lower back pain, super tender lower belly. Anyone else experiencing this ?

Just a friendly reminder many of us are coming up on the next growth spurt! Hang in there ladies! For those of you already reaching it, how's it going? This one is definitely tougher than the 3 week one for us!

Ok I’m being TIM here but I need to know! I came on what I thought was my period two days ago however it’s been super super light to the point where I’m taking my tampon out and there is hardly anything there, I wouldn’t say normal period colour either more like towards the end of colour I’m so sorry for posting bu...

I'm pregnant again and feeling anxious that I'm not feeling the same symptoms.

Anyone else dealing or have dealt with restless legs? I deal with this every single night… and it’s ruining my sleep.

I haven't slept at all and now it's almost 8am and it looks like I can only sleep tonight as I can't nap. Baby slept okay with a few waking but I cannot seem to sleep. My body is tired and I was sleepy but for some reason I just couldn't. Please tell me I can survive on no sleep? Only positivity here needed please. ...

I am in so much pain I had pelvis pains with my first but this is so much worse I haven’t slept in days now I constantly have pins and needles in my legs. Nothing seems to be helping 😩 if anything just getting worse. I’ve tried doing stretches (similar to yoga) warm baths before bed, paracetamol, pillow between…

I cannot sleep anymore, I get an hour maybe and then wake up crying from back pain or rib pain. It’s agony. It’s been like this for the past few days and I am exhausted. I can’t cope anymore. I don’t know how I’m supposed to deal with this for another 11 weeks.

I've just hit 37 weeks but seem to be waking up every night with horrendous heartburn/reflux around 01:30 that makes me want to vomit. Rennie's aren't touching it. Doesn't seem to matter how little I've had for my dinner or really what time I've eaten. Propping myself up helps a little bit but it still comes in wave...

This is my second baby. I’m in my 9th week and already have a baby bump. Honestly didn’t think it will come so soon 🙄 I thought I will hide my bump/pregnancy news from my friends until 13th week but doesn’t look like I can now. Did anyone else too started showing early?

OK ladies, I can’t be the only one lol Does anyone else still struggle doing anything? I am 15 weeks and three days and I am still struggling with nausea and acid reflux. This is my third child so I’m not new to this and I am always sick with them, but it sucks soooo bad. I see people on social media and they’re eat...

I have always measured slightly big on the fundal height chart, does this mean there is a chance baby mayyyyy make an appearance before his due date? I am so done with being pregnant 🤣🙃

I have really bad indigestion and I have done for 2 days Iv tried everything and my omeprazole have stopped working I can’t cope anymore!

Wondering if anybody else has dealt with something similar, not looking for medical advice. I am 5 months pp exclusively breast-feeding. I got my first cycle in October. I was expected to start another cycle this last week, but nothing however I am experiencing some cramping and other period symptoms without the pe...

My baby has been going mental tonight, he’s very active anyway but the movements have been freaking me out the last hour. Like a full on limb poked out so far and went across my whole stomach. It made me gasp so much I don’t like it 😅😅 my first pregnancy was not like this at all but these movements are something…

Hi! First time mam here so please no judgement. My little boy is 7 months old next week and just shows absolutely no interest in rolling over on his own! He will do it no problem if I help him on his side or when I’m getting him ready and when on his stomach he’s pushing to try to back. He’s also pretty much sitti...
