Community Posts, Tips & Support on Pregnancy Symptoms

Bump dropped ages ago, had period like cramps for weeks, had the bad stomach, had all the ‘signs’ people look out for and still nothing 🫠 I read all the posts about people listing their symptoms saying ‘oh this could be it!’ and now laugh because it probably isn’t (sorry guys, us overdue girls are bitter now!) I…

Hi all i’m just looking for advice really. So for the last 2 weeks i’ve felt my baby move around 5/6 times which isn’t normal at all considering baby never stopped moving, i know this can just be them dropping and having less room but surely 6 times in 2 weeks isn’t normal?? I do have to go to the hospital everyda...

I’m 26 weeks and started with pgp last week and it’s progressively getting worse. Do I need to call antenatal & is there anything that can even be done? Thinking of taking the hit and going private osteopath but wondered if anyone had had anything helpful from nhs first?

15 weeks postpartum, I’ve already had 2 mini periods, this one started 2 days ago but today I woke up and it’s everywhere. All over the bed, all down my legs and it dripped all over my bedroom floor. Should I be concerned? My periods are usually light

So I was told by my OBG today that I’ll need to start counting my babies kicks and everything. I understand how and why but I was wondering if in the 2 hours that they want me to time can I encourage him to kick? Ex can I drink cold water or snack on a little bit of candy etc before or during. Or does it have to be ...

I’ve been having a lot of trouble with sleeping lately. I will wake up in the middle of the night to my heart racing. This is almost an every night thing and I’m over not being able to stay asleep. I wear my Apple Watch to bed (I know I shouldn’t) but I wear it to track my heart rate for when I’m waking up to my hea...

Maybe I just slept so well I’ve not noticed but usually baby is very active during the night and I can’t remember waking up at all (which was lovely as I also have a 9 month old who hadn’t been sleeping) however now I’m sat here poking my belly but can’t feel anything 😕 How long would you wait before calling…

I gave birth 9 months ago and my back still hurt where they injected the epidural! Now I’m pregnant again and I’m worried how I’m gonna deliver my next baby and if they going to inject in the same place! Also I wanna know if anyone else is suffering from the same pain

I’m currently spending every night like a rotisserie chicken - switching from my right side to left, from my left to my right, until morning. I can’t stay on one side for longer than a few hours because my hips and lower back ache so much. I’m using a pillow between my knees as suggested online but has anyone el...

Anyone else in their 6-7 week is experiencing a lot of cramps?

I’m 7 weeks and 5 days. I was super nauseous last week. Tried taking unisom and B6 and it helped but I stopped the unisom because I made me too sleepy during the day and the b6 alone did help a little bit. I work from home and work was slow last week. This week I am at a corporate event that’s jam packed with events...

Hey, I noticed yesterday my left armpit was tender and when checking there's a small lump. Have any of you experienced this in pregnancy? I'm super stressed in case it's something worse.

Yall think I ate too much queso yesterday for dinner. I was super gassy today and crampy and then I had diarrhea last night. Then I woke up this morning and had more diarrhea. Has anyone else had random diarrhea while pregnant?

This second pregnancy has been exhausting!! I have a 18 month old who requires so much attention, I'm constantly squatting, picking her up (25lbs) chasing her around...half the time I hardly have energy to just make her a bowl of cereal lol 😂 I'm now 26 weeks pregnant and this routine can be so overwhelming...the…

Is anyone having trouble sleeping? I'm 13.5 weeks and cannot seem to sleep through the night. I wake up 1/2am and that's it, basically awake til 5 or 6. Nothing that I'm particularly stressed about or overthinking. I'm so so so tired but just can't sleep and obviously now it's impacting my work and life. I knew slee...

WHY DO I KEEP DREAMING ABOUT THIS MAN!!?????, yall I think I miss my baby daddy omgggggg

Hiii! I’m currently 11 weeks pregnant and honestly growing so tired of feel sick all the time. I’ve heard some people say it stops pretty immediately once you start your second trimester, but others who say it went all the way to like 24 weeks 🙃 I was told it would peak at 9 weeks by doctor and that was pretty…

I haven’t slept for longer than 2 hours at a time since my baby was born (8 months!) and I’m hitting a breaking point. Baby only wants me and dad will help but the baby will not fall asleep for dad it just makes things worse so I do nights every night. Feeling guilty for being so frustrated but also just feel sad th...
