I’m seriously losing sleep worrying about all birth options 😢 I’m so scared and getting depressed about it. Did having an elective ease your anxiety and would anyone recommend taking that route? How was recovery?

I’ve been experiencing reduced movements for a few weeks now, I’ve already been to the maternity assessment unit and they monitored me.

I am so fed up with my body aching so much! Nothing seems to help.. it’s ever since giving birth - my hips / back and legs have this dull, pulsating pain. It’s not all the time, there doesn’t seem to be any triggers for it. It’s random - but mostly at night / morning. When I get the pain I can’t find a comfy positi...

Any other section mums get that twanging feeling? Trying to get up out of bed twice last night and on two separate occasions felt like something in my section snapped like a guitar string 🥴 No excessive bleeding or any pain at all from it but these PP hormones make me love to worry. Anyone else had the same?

I’m 25+3 at the moment and baby’s movements are different every day. Yes they’re usually active morning, around lunch time and evening, but that can change and how much they move varies hugely day to day. I know this is quite normal at this stage. Those a few weeks ahead, are the movements more consistent? I’m worri...

Morning Last night baby was very active and I’m now suddenly extremely uncomfortable in the pelvic region. I can’t walk properly, turn over in bed or get up properly without loads of pain in my pelvis. I’m thinking baby may have engaged but is it meant to be this painful?? Not sure how I’m going to go about my day ...

I’m about to be 12 weeks and for the past week I’ve been having the worst time trying to sleep. My belly hurts and my sides ache on whichever side I sleep on. I’m already “showing” and I’m just so annoyed with the aches lol. I have to constantly switch sides through the night. Is it just me that it happens to? I hat...
