Hi guys just a quick question I’m feeling this weird pressure/ pain inside my vagina when I sit down or stand or lift my legs

i’m 5 weeks today; i’ve had cramping since conception lol!! is this normal/anything to worry about? my tests are getting darker & clearblue is 3+, i’m just scared because sometimes they are SO painful

I keep being told that you don’t feel baby move as much as you used too as running out of room I am 36 weeks pregnant - did anyone else feel like their baby slowed down? I still feel him kick all the time but just not as much

31 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Been experiencing headaches the last 2 mornings and noticed intense swelling in my hands this past week, hard to bend my fingers. Also baby hasn’t been moving as much in the last 2 days, should I go to the hospital? Am I overthinking/ overreacting?

I’m 26+3, for the past two days I’ve noticed movement which has maybe been a bit gentler than the few days prior. On Monday I started getting kicks which moved my whole stomach for the first time(!) and now I’m just getting the slight kicks and taps I got the week before. I have an anterior placenta if that makes an...

I get overwhelmed sometimes with how much I should be doing with my baby during the day: tummy time, vitamin D, getting her used to the pram, cot naps, the sling, interacting with her, and watching for wake windows. I often feel like a failure at the end of the day because I only manage a few of these things, on top...

So so grateful to be pregnant but struggling so much with the nausea and sickness. Just turned 7 weeks and I can’t keep anything down 😓 Can drs prescribe medication? Which ones do they tend to prescribe? Considering calling 111 for help

I’m 37 weeks and all the sudden I’ve had pelvic pain when I stand and walk it feels as it’s coming from my pelvic bone is this normal?

So the last few days, I’ve been having crazy uncomfortable pain which feels somewhat similar to pain I’ve felt my last pregnancy.. in my hips, my back, and pelvic area. It’s cramping pain, and just very uncomfortable. But since early yesterday afternoon I’ve been feeling what seems like contractions, my stomach gets...

Is anyone feeling a lot of pressure on their bladder? I feel like it’s being pushed on or squeezed haha it’s not painful just annoying I never had this in my first pregnancy

Does anyone have this? How do you manage it? Just got a diagnose and now I'm worried about how the side i sleep on puts pressurre on the colon, plus what foods are absolutely no nos.

Would love if you could add some detail - boot, on the seat, is it a struggle, why? Doing some research so the more replies the better ❤️

2nd pregnancy. 17+4 When did everyone start to feel their first movements. I’ve lots of scans and checks and baby has been extremely active. But haven’t felt any flutters myself yet

I’m pretty positive I lost my mucus plug last week… last night when I got up to pee I noticed I was spotting.. I’ve had a few very mild (not even as bad as period) cramps.. Baby is still moving and kicking. My OB office for non emergencies doesn’t open until tomorrow morning. Should I just monitor until I can call...

38+2 i’m pretty certain my baby is sunnyside up. what can i do to get her to flip facing my back before labor starts?

24 weeks and can’t lie I’m starting to get worried about the size (or should I say lack of size) of my bump. It still seems tiny? Little man is ok because I feel him doing the Macarena in there every night but I am now starting to worry that maybe he isn’t growing properly? Anyone else had a really small bump? I’m 5...

When did it stop feeling like you were just surviving? I'm almost at the end of 8 weeks, and things are getting better, but I definitely still feel like I'm in the trenches.

Anyone else’s baby quieter at a weekend? I’ve been to triage a few times on a Sunday cos reduced movement but I’m starting to think this might be his pattern and I’m wondering if it’s because I’m not in my usual routine at the weekend and I notice movement more? I really do not want to have to go to triage AGAIN🙃

Please, if you’ve experienced this, was it just a muscle pain or was it something more?

I’m currently 13+3 and that last few mornings I’ve woke up to pink discharge? No cramps, no red blood, and it’s only on a morning, does this sound normal? Had my NHS scan on Thursday and they noted no bleeding from near baby but it’s getting so worrying x
