I been having back pain for a couple of days but Its from the epidural now im having left sided pain and my stomach hurts to the touch could it be ligament pain? Literally hurts to get up from couch and walk

Almost 11 weeks pregnant and the last 2 weeks have been really bad with regards to energy levels. I’ve been napping in the afternoon when my toddler goes down for her nap and can barely get the basics done around the house. The exhaustion is hard core! I’ve really tried to keep up some kind of fitness before falling...

I am just more tired than before and I feel sick if I’m not snacking during the day but apart from that I feel fine? Is this normal?

Hey girls, i’m just after some help. I’ve had terrible sickness and nausea from week 5 (but still able to keep food&drink down in moderation) been to the doctors and no anti sickness has ever worked. From this morning I’m now no longer able to keep any food or drink down..It seems so weird as normally severe sicknes...

Hi! Please tell me this is normal….I am 6 weeks 5 days and I am feeling extremely tired, weak, and have had diarrhea for the past 2 days. Is this normal? It feels like I have the flu but no vomiting or fever. I did not have this when I was pregnant with my son so I’m freaking out a little bit!

Since last night I’ve been getting some pain in my right side between my ribs and hip about a hand sized area. It has radiated lower down and into my back at times and seems to come and go in waves. I had it yesterday evening and then it settled and it’s come back again this evening. I’m just having a bath to see if...

How long does this last??? I’m literally losing the will to live! Also pregnant which doesn’t help the tiredness! 😫

Please tell me I’m not the only one with bad lower back pain, I’m only 14+5 and the back ache is the worst I’ve had in comparison to my 2 previous pregnancies🥴

I had loads of energy the past week (incl. yoga walking, bouncing on the ball, sex etc) but since yesterday I’ve just felt totally exhausted out of nowhere, all I want to do is sleep and doze around but I feel like I shouldn’t be doing that. Anyone else!? X

Just wondering how everyone is getting on. I’m really really struggling with this last bit of pregnancy. Just feel like it’s dragging so much!

Currently 16 weeks and 5 days preganant and started having on and off pain in my lower abdomen mainly on the right side but sometimes on the left. I thought it was a urine infection but the test was negative. I also had rib pain last night and the night before has anyone else had this?

Does anyone else have severe pelvic gridle? I am at the point if I think I need crutches as I literally can’t move or get comfy at anytime. I’ve been house bound for 10 days and I am at loss of what to do. Any tips??

Almost at 16 weeks and been on the look out/ mindful for first little signs of movement 😍 what can I expect to feel?! (I know it might be a little while longer to wait!)

Anyone else struggling with their second pregnancy? I have a 16 month old feral toddler and I am EXHAUSTED.

I had a seizure and have been told not to lay on my back. But now my right leg/hip/lower back is in constantly pain and is sooo achy to the point it’s uncomfortable all the time. What can I do? Paracetamol isn’t touching it and waiting for physio referral to come back.
