I’m 26+2 today and woke up feeling so deflated, so down & tired and have no idea where this has come from.. past week I’ve had so much energy and felt so good and motivated. Anyone else getting days like this? Even putting socks on just feels a struggle today 😫

Does anyone else feel like their partner has the brain cells of a teenage boy? I’m fed up of being the one trying to make plans and having no reciprocated energy or excitement in making plans. I want to be high on life and joyful but everything either feels like hard work or like it’s constantly flatlining! We’ve ha...

Since the 2nd week of Jan I have had back to back illnesses! Started with a chest infection and I’ve either had stomach issues or colds / illnesses. Is this all mums or just me?

A bit TMI but anyone else have the opposite to the common constipation and have a upset stomach instead? 😅 it’s only the time I wake up in the morning this happens I’ve noticed.

I’m currently 35 weeks and for the past 2 weeks baby has been moving like crazy, but since my midwife appointment 2 days ago, they’ve really slowed down, I still feel movements here and there but no crazy roll and turns like before. Anyone else experienced this and everything turned out to be fine?

Hey girls! I am 22 weeks and really struggling with lower back pain once I’ve been sat/laying down. It really hurts to walk on initially for a few moments then eases but causing me agro in the night. I have a pregnancy pillow which seems to be helping slightly but do you have any other recommendations? Thanks mamas x

Everything HURTS how can I relive it I’m not sleeping at all, I’ve got 2 maternity pillows im tossing and turning rotating both sides all night long

Anyone that had the implant after having a baby, anyone that had the “excessive” blood loss (the lady said 1/5 experience it) Did the bleeding start soon after the implant went in? During/ after your first period after the implantation? Thank you

I’m 17 weeks and for the past 2 weeks I’ve had daily headaches. I’m not sure if the insomnia and waking up at 5am everyday just due to not being able to sleep isn’t helping, I never had this with my first I could sleep all day and night no problem. Anyone else?

It’s been 3 weeks I cannot take the feeling of my vagina being on fire. What do I do? 😭

I have never had sex that wasn’t painful. Sometimes it’s better than others, different positions are better. But I kind of hate it because half the time I want to cry but I feel like I have to pretend it’s great. I am not really experienced at all and definitely don’t do it often. I am just wondering if this is some...

My aunt told me before giving birth that my back was gonna kill after having baby and my goodness she was right. I didn’t have an epidural and I thought that meant I’d be okay but wow I feel like a cripple, can’t walk round the supermarket without feeling like my back is gonna give out, can’t stand in one spot for 5...
