How are your babies going with sitting up on their own? Are they doing it yet? Close? Not close? Assisted? Unassisted? (Please remember no matter where your baby is at, they are growing and doing perfectly and they will reach their milestones when THEY are ready and not because society says they should be 🤍)

See comments for the explanation!

Does anyone else in the third trimester leak a teensy bit of wee if they cough or sneeze?

I can’t tell if I’m over thinking it or my baby has now just levelled out with a pattern but up until probably a week ago the baby had been moving semi regularly throughout the day, more so after food and it was like a little dance machine in the evenings. I mentioned to my midwife last Wednesday that on the Tuesday...

Newborn is 1 week old. Does his umbilical cord look normal?

Has anyone been having a sensitive lower abdomen? Not crampy just everso slightly uncomfortable. I seem to remember this with my first, like growing pains, but never this early 😬

Has anyone else had bad pelvic popping/ grinding after giving birth? I’m 4 months PP and it’s just gotten worse and now I’m having hip pains also.

I genuinely don’t know if I’m just feeling things but I’m 12 weeks pregnant with baby no.2 and I genuinely think I’m feeling baby wriggle now and again, I’m not sure if it’s just because I know what I’m feeling or if I’m just being delusional anyone else felt movement really early?

I’m 31 weeks pregnant, been going off my baby’s patterns but I’m assuming he changed patterns so I’m going to kick count but unsure if it’s 10 movements every 2 hours or 10 movements a day. Does anyone else know what I’m looking for whether is 10 a day or 10 every 2 hours?
