Is anyone else suffering from HG? I had terrible sickness in my first pregnancy but this is so much worse, I’m on anti sickness medication (yet to find a combination that works) and am loosing around 3/4lbs a week. Not moving is the only thing that helps and I’ve been signed off work for an initial two weeks but th...

I’m 39 weeks today and have been having lots of pelvic pain in the front for the past 2-3 days. Doesn’t feel like baby has dropped but could this be a sign she’s starting to?

I’m almost 35 weeks and the pressure down there is unreal. Yesterday I noticed my vagina felt weird and got my partner to feel and look too and it’s definitely swollen. Anyone else the same

Is anyone having lower back pain? It’s really aching at times - on and off throughout the day. I’m 4 +5

I used to have very painful period but after having baby, its so much better now. Only thing is the date used to be very consistent but now I get it earlier every month. Doesn't follow any pattern too. Just wondering if any of you are experiencing the same?

hey how many steps were people doing a day whilst pregnant with more than one baby? I’m trying my best but I just feel so tired?

hey so I’m trying my best to be more active in this pregnancy but at the minute only doing like 5000 steps a day because I feel SO tired and it’s making me feel really guilty , is anyone else experiencing this?

Really struggling with sleeping on my side due to pressure on my hips and discomfort. Has anybody got any tips to help ?

I’m 26 weeks pregnant, I’ve felt baby moving for a month or so now, and it seems entirely logical to me that how I feel the baby’s movements will change. Surely as the baby is growing and moving about in there, I will feel different sensations…? And I have! I understand there are risks but if baby is less active one...

Is anyone else struggling with blurred vision and headaches?

For the past 3 days I have had 2-4 hours of bleeding a day but very light, like you’d only notice when you wipe at the toilet? I’m so confused to what this is as I am currently only 4dpo! Has this happened to anyone else ?

Who else is just ALWAYS HUNGRY?? If i don’t eat for more than 2 hours I start feeling nauseous and start heaving 😭😭

Has anyone else experienced a constant dull ache in their left hip/groin post C-section with occasional very sharp pains? I’m 16 days post C-section and paracetamol, ibuprofen and dihydrocodeine isn’t doing much pain wise. Incision all looks ok so not sure what is going on 🤷‍♀️

Hi there! Has anyone else been worrying that their bump isn’t that big yet? 15w today and keep seeing bumps on TikTok etc and look nothing like that! First baby for me which I know makes a difference but still makes you worry slightly

Going to try and keep this short as possible. My baby has been trying to get her left foot for weeks, she finally did it a few days ago, but she’s just not interested in the right foot. She looks at it a couple times, but not bothered by it, she puts her hand on her right knee but that’s as far as it goes or even t...

Hey girls just wondering if anyone has had the same pain. I can only describe it as a sort of stitch on the right side. I'm 4+3. It just started today

Will be 31 weeks on Saturday does anyone else feel as though their movements are more baby moving around rather than kicks?

Hows everyone’s last few weeks going?? I am 37+4 and my body feels like its just in a jittery overdrive. I was having rest-less legs and thought I had solved it with some magnesium supplements but now I have whole body restlessness 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ been up at 3 and staying up many nights lately. Blah I am like ok maybe…

Is anyone else experiencing crazy postpartum sweats?! I’m 13 PP and the nights are horrendous!

Is anyone else struggling with pelvic girdle pain and have any advice on how to manage it? It’s particularly bad on my hips and gets worse from sleeping on my side at night. I’m waiting for a physio referral to go through but until then - anyone have any tips or tricks?
