Is constant cramping pain normal. This has been going on now for couple of days. It feels like I’m on my period ??

Hi guys, I had a mc on 7th feb, I was 4 weeks. I only bled for around 5 days. This was also during the time my period was due.. the bleed wasn’t that much but definitely was not implantation, as there were some clots. My preg tests at this time were negative. However I have done 2 pregnancy tests a couple of days a...

Where I caught a cold I haven’t kept on top of babies movement. I have definitely felt baby move but now I’m self doubting if it’s reduced movement. My due date is in 4 days.

Hi all! I work in an office and am finding it uncomfortable to be sitting down all day at my desk. I have to keep getting up every 20 mins to walk around. I’ve ordered a cushion from amazon to see if that helps. I’m only 20 + 4 days pregnant. Is anyone else finding this or just me?

Anyone here showing a baby bump at 11 weeks? I don’t know if I’m just bloated, but my tummy seems really round. Is it normal to have a bump this early?

I woke up this morning feeling positively exhausted. I’ve been having constant painless tightening in my abdomen—honestly it’s hard for me to tell if it’s baby moving or tightening but it definitely has a warm, pulling sensations. I’ve probably had 8 quick pulls in the past 10 minutes or so. Is this normal???

I’m 34 weeks tomorrow. I have been cramping and having contractions for the past week. They ease up sometimes but will have hours where I can’t do anything. My belly gets hard during them but I’m very crampy all the time. My ob knocks it to Braxton hicks when I mention anything and kinda shrugs all my concerns off. ...

Heyy mamas-to-be. Are any of you all experiencing extreme thirst in the middle of the night? During the day I drink at least 80 ounces of water. But when I wake up in the middle of the night, I am extremely thirsty and if I gulp down too much water (like 8+ ounces) at a time I get nauseous. With frequent bathroom tr...

My boy will be 5 months tomorrow, and over the past week has rolled back to front a few times. He still seems to be pretty shocked when he does it though 😂 however he’s not rolled front to back, and today got really distressed at being ‘stuck’ on his front (it all happened in the time it took for me to take the dog…

I’m 38+1 with my second baby. This morning I’ve woke up and I’ve got dull period like pains really low, I can feel baby is super low as well. I’ve got really bad backache, feel really nauseous and also feel very hot. I was induced with my first so not really sure what spontaneous labour feels like. I have a midwife...

Has anybody experienced a reduction in movement at 40 weeks? I’m 39+6 and have been used to my baby being very active in pregnancy. For the last couple of days though, her movement has slowed right down. Not sure if it is because she has dropped so low down and I’m not noticing the movement so much (now she’s no lon...

I think I'm having trouble teaching her, everything says 16-18 months is when they start but she just doesn't seem to understand, she has fun trying to but just can't. I have her watch me and then I help her, I've tried a bunch of different ways with the help of YouTube videos, she watches with me and gets excited t...

Has anyone else experienced slight cramping after sex? It’s around where I feel round ligament pain, just haven’t experienced this until now. It didn’t last long and wasn’t too painful, just ever so slightly crampy and despite knowing it’s safe to have sex when pregnant it freaked me out a bit!

I’ve had a very high bump throughout my pregnancy. But this morning the belly seems somewhat lower? Is this the ‘belly dropping’ or am I delusional. 😅

Still taking this as a negative but I’ve been having weird dreams heartburn nausea. I’ve been pregnant before I have a baby. I have that growing uterus feeling idk how to describe it pressure? Thought I would test. I swear there’s a faint line? I’m only 6dpo
