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.

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...

I’m 18+1 and can’t decide if what I’m feeling is baby or not… It’s almost like tiny little muscle spasms in my tummy or feels like gas. I’ve seen lots of people saying it feels like butterflies or bubbles and I definitely don’t think it feels like that! Has anyone else had similar sensations?

Sorry if it’s TMI but just wanted to ask if anyone had a similar experience. I’m 12 weeks pp and I’m having my first proper period since I stopped bleeding after having my son.

I woke up this morning at 6.30 and from 6.45am I had this burst of energy and sudden urge to clean everything in sight, even down to skirting boards, washed the doors, kitchen cupboards, pulled everything off the sides, bleached both bathrooms and floors. Literally cleaned my whole house within a few hours. I am now...

Me and my partner are having a debate about whether chocolate goes in the fridge. I'm saying yes and he says no! And that I'm a weirdo 🤣

Before my period was due I was experiencing lots of nausea and sensitivity towards smells and cramps and headaches and horrible horrible back pains.
