I’m like 5 weeks pregnant. I do have a bit of nausea and sometimes have tender breasts, but I feel like I’m not actually pregnant. Also have such bad anxiety that something will happen to baby! I feel soooo impatient, I want to book an early reassurance scan for 6.5 weeks, and I literally feel like my days are going...

Soooo random but every time I cough or sneeze, it feels like I’m tearing a muscle in my very lower stomach. It also feels like someone snaps me with an elastic band. My daughter is 1.5 years so I wonder if my stomach hadn’t recovered fully from my c section birth with her but it’s so painful and also super random. H...

Has anyone else experienced this? The last couple of hours every now and again a hard rock comes up on my bump on the right hand side ..is this my baby’s head or should I be worried and is it a hernia or fibroid or something? I’m only 19w3d which makes me think how can it possibly be the baby? But then also who know...

What have you found works for you? I suffered terribly in my first pregnancy, in the pubic bone (it literally felt like it was fractured i could barely walk). Now I've got pain in both butt cheeks and from googling it sounds like it might be PGP again. I didn't find anything that helped last time. Ice, baths, heat,...

Hey I know this is silly but I was wondering if a man always lasts a long time in bed, does that mean that the 🐱 is trash??? Because going for almost a hour is insane. Of course I don’t want a minute man but still. And he wants more rounds afterwards, I be so tired and can’t keep up. Mind you is 10+ years older…

I’m 4dp5dt and getting really bad lower back pain is this normal?

I see so many questions about whether babies are rolling or not. Let’s do a poll to see how the November babies are doing! Mine has rolled a few times from tummy to back and has attempted rolling from back to tummy but hasn’t succeeded yet (20 weeks old).

Anyone else’s baby not showing any signs of rolling yet? He’s 21 weeks and not even close or showing any signs at all- I’m doing all the tummy time and exercises etc

How are you all feeling? 4 weeks and 5days for me! I am bloated (more in the evening) I am extremely fatigued. My last baby was 9 years ago so..I have forgotten how I should feel 🤣 Anyone experiencing morning sickness? Usually starts around week 6 I’m told. Congratulations everyone 🤰

Hi everyone! Is anyone taking the tablet Xonvea for sickness? I’m on 2 tablets a day to take at nighttime but thinking of taking it in the daytime instead as when I take it before bed I don’t think it’s helping as I’m asleep! I’m 30 weeks and still super nauseous! Thanks!

So i’m 5 wks pp, and have gotten my period, It’s been on for almost a week and this is the heaviest period i’ve ever had, even before pregnancy, Like i am completely soaking through the thickest pads. I am drained, i feel weak, and I am in pain, anyone else experiencing a really heavy period after birth??

Is anyone else experiencing rly bad cramping at 21 weeks pregnant? Been in such uncomfortable pain all day and unsure if this is normal.

So for the past few days I've definitely noticed a change, lighting crotch, loose bowels, increase in period like cramps, nausea and vomiting during the night but a weird one is a really random throbbing pain in my mid to lower back that feels like it's around my spine. A bit like when you have a really bad headache...

I'm currently 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant and noticed some brown discharge on my underwear this morning. I put a pad on for the rest of the day, but it’s been clean since then. Is this normal? I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks in January, so I can’t help but feel incredibly anxious. I went to the early pregnancy unit, ...

I’m 5weeks+4 and have no symptoms at all!! I honestly keep forgetting I’m pregnant. With my first, the tiredness was off the scale in the first trimester but I can’t really remember when that kicked in?! I know I’m obviously lucky to not experience horrible symptoms (which I guess may arrive) but it’s also slightly ...

Just got back from my 36wk appt & I’m already 3cm dilated and 70% effaced!! With my first, I wasn’t 3cm until I hit 40 weeks! Hoping this means big dude will be evacuating the premises before his due date lol

What are we all doing to get and keep energy through the day without coffee? I'd drink it, but it makes me more tired. So, I'm wondering if there is anything anyone else is using to have energy and be productive.

Does anyone do tea at 5pm and then a snack before bed ? Not seemed fussed lately on bedtime milk so thinking should I swap to something like cereal
