Hi guys, my postpartum bleeding stopped around 4w and now at 6 weeks it started again but just light spotting for a week?! Is this normal

It could be because I am over touched during the day so just want to be left along at night....

We have a new guy at work and he asked my colleagues last week if I’m the one who’s always skiving off work. It annoyed me because one he doesn’t even know me and also I’ve been so genuinely sick and struggling. I returned to work and I’m still nauseous and vomiting but I’m still trying not I come to work. Last week...

It’s my first pregnancy. I’m currently 14w3d. I’ve gained a bit of weight, so I already had a little belly, but it’s bigger now, and I’m a bit self conscious about going home and being around old friends and family. They all know I’m pregnant, but I just feel too big and honestly fat. How soon did y’all start show...

Hello 👋🏼 So I’m currently around 11 weeks. I’ve had a cold about 3-4 weeks ago, which wasn’t terrible, apart from getting a nasty cough, which is pretty much gone by now. But when I cough, and this only happens when I lay down in bed on my back. I cough once (strong or mild) and it gives me this stabbing pain on…

Hi mammas! So, I'm 29 weeks in with baby number 2. Since yesterday morning, I have been having uncomfortable abdominal pain. Baby is moving regularly and is still very active, but this is new to me. Has anyone gone through something similar? I've ruled out constipation and braxon hicks.

How frequently are you feeling baby move? I feel like i’ve felt my baby move more at 20 weeks than now at 26 weeks. Not sure if it should be a cause for concern that she’s much more quiet the last 2 days. I’ve not been eating much sugar so not sure if that’s what’s causing it??

I am only 4 weeks today. I have been testing positive for the last 3 days, but the lines are still really light. My expected period would be in the next day or so. I feel a little crampy, similar to how I would before a period. I'm freaking out that I'm just going to get my period like nothing happened. For context,...

Over the last few weeks I’ve been experiencing excruciating pain which I thought was just a poop/gas pain…sometimes I’ll be able to poop and sometimes I won’t. But now I’m thinking maybe that’s Braxton hicks or early labor? I’m so bad at telling. The pain only lasts a couple of seconds but is really intense and is l...

I have shoulder pain especially around my neck and my shoulder blades, when should I be concerned? I have no other symptoms but overthinking everything!

Hey everyone, I’m nearly 9 weeks pregnant, today I would be due to have my period and I’ve had some awful cramps in my left hip area where I usually get terrible period pains. Is it normal to feel pain around the time your period is due on early pregnancy? Really worried! Thank you for any advice🤍

Hi my son is 7 weeks old and since he was born I’ve noticed he prefers his right side to his left to lay his head on. When he’s sleeping playing or even looking around he always chooses his right side. I’ve tried to encourage him to turn his head to the left side and he can do it but he doesn’t like to lay it down f...

Really struggling with the sickness, constantly feel sick but only vomited 3 times. Currently 5 weeks 3 days and this is HELL, anyone else the same?

35 weeks pregnant today. Had some discomfort whilst wiping after going to the toilet and spotted some blood. Grabbed a mirror and it looks like I’ve got a boil or something to the side of my vagina, not near the hole but more on like the fleshy side which I think you’d probably describe as bum cheek? Not really sure...
