Toddler kicked me and I’m 16 weeks pregnant no bleeding just feel a slight tenderness in the belly. Should I go to the doctor? Or be concerned

Anyone have days where you feel like you're going into labor but it's nothing? I'm 31+3 with baby #3 and have been hurting today. Tmi but I've been having diarrhea all day, feel so much pressure in my groin area, possibly braxton hicks, and super nauseous. I've been having the worst anxiety. I'm so scared to have a ...

i’m so fed up. this evening i have just cried so much. i’m in pain. i can barely breathe. i keep having to force myself to yawn in order to breathe properly or else i feel like im suffocating. i’m not due until 29th, and this is just becoming unbearable. my partner wanted me to see or calm triage because of me strug...

I’m 30 weeks and for the past few days every time I go to sleep or lay down as I go to get up my stomach is so uncomfortable, hurts a little Baby is fine he’s kicking doing his usual thing, just very uncomfortable, feels like a constant cramp & my stomach goes really hard then loosens

I can’t stop eating ice constantly 😭 anyone else had this. Need to stop before my teeth break lol

Does anyone else in the third trimester leak a teensy bit of wee if they cough or sneeze?

I can’t tell if I’m over thinking it or my baby has now just levelled out with a pattern but up until probably a week ago the baby had been moving semi regularly throughout the day, more so after food and it was like a little dance machine in the evenings. I mentioned to my midwife last Wednesday that on the Tuesday...

Already on meds for ppd but lately my girls been very cranky teething and just difficult which is making me feel like a rubbish mum. Is it normal to feel this way a year on?

Newborn is 1 week old. Does his umbilical cord look normal?

Has anyone been having a sensitive lower abdomen? Not crampy just everso slightly uncomfortable. I seem to remember this with my first, like growing pains, but never this early 😬

Has anyone else had bad pelvic popping/ grinding after giving birth? I’m 4 months PP and it’s just gotten worse and now I’m having hip pains also.

I genuinely don’t know if I’m just feeling things but I’m 12 weeks pregnant with baby no.2 and I genuinely think I’m feeling baby wriggle now and again, I’m not sure if it’s just because I know what I’m feeling or if I’m just being delusional anyone else felt movement really early?

I’m 31 weeks pregnant, been going off my baby’s patterns but I’m assuming he changed patterns so I’m going to kick count but unsure if it’s 10 movements every 2 hours or 10 movements a day. Does anyone else know what I’m looking for whether is 10 a day or 10 every 2 hours?

Can you see a faint line here on the bottum test? I had a tiny blot of pink spotting on toilet paper when wiping this morning. Not sure if my period is coming or if it’s possible implantation bleeding?

Ladies, this might make sense it might not…but in the mornings when i wake up i feel so much pressure!! but when i go to the toilet, it almost feels tight, even going, as if my body is trying that little bit harder to pee…is that normal? (i’m 37 weeks + 2 days) At first i thought maybe it’s an infection but it doesn...

Anyone else having problems with their child just not using their arms for anything or even trying to roll over? HV has referred us to physio as she's never used her arms. No matter what I've tried/bought to encourage her to move. She'd rather suffocate herself into the floor than use her arms... Got our first sessi...

I’m 32 weeks and have had rescued movements twice in the last 3 weeks. I went to triage last night and the hooked me up to the monitor, they said the results were fine but I raised that for my babies pattern, it still wasn’t normal. When I got home I had a call from triage to say actually I needed to come back tomor...

They only stay for a week or two & then disappear. It’s mostly flat, veryyyyyy slightly raised.

I’m almost 34 weeks! I believe by baby has been breach majority of the pregnancy - I’m not worried atm but becuase of this all my kicks are happening/being felt at the bottom of my bump - however most recently I keep feeling a leg or arm popping out on my right side - is this normal 🙈🙈

Does anyone have any advice for the sickness, i will take the most outrageous ideas as nothing seems to be helpful so far😒
