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...

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...

When did you first feel your baby move? I’m 18 weeks 3 days with my first baby and I think I’ve felt little flutters but not sure.

Anyone else just about to hit 30 weeks or have hit 30 weeks and have found that baby has dropped decently far down and are getting more round ligament pain and lightening crotch when baby moves?? Baby used to be high up into my ribs and my bump took my ribs over ( picture in comments) but now my bump is so low and...

I’ve been in latent labor for at least 24 hours (I was contracting last night in L&D every 2-6 minutes) with my second and on top of that my toddler got me sick with a stomach bug so I’ve barely eaten and have a fever whenever I’m not on Tylenol. My heartburn has sucked all pregnancy and I’m just kinda miserable. I’...

My LO rolled over at least twice when she was 2 months. But she hasn't even tried since then. Not sure what happened? She meets or exceeds all her milestones otherwise. She rolls from side to side but not belly to back or vice versa. What can I do to encourage rolling over again?

I’m 40+3 and I know I need to ring triage if I have reduced movements but before I do that does anyone have any ways to get baby moving please?

I’m 34wks and the last few days I’ve been feeling like I constantly need to 💩. And I mean constantly. When I try and go nothing much happens. Is this something I should be concerned about. It’s my first pregnancy so not sure if it’s normal but my stomach is hurting. It’s been about 2 days.

Hi girls, Although I have a pregnancy pillow to use between the knees, my hips get so sore when I toss and turn on both sides in the night. Any tips or advice on anything to help? I’m really struggling to get a good sleep, coupled with the need for a wee every hour or two! Thanks ☺️
