I’m 29 weeks today and have projectile vomitted my breakfast up for no known reason. I haven’t got HG and haven’t had morning sickness since around 22 weeks. Should I ring MAU?

Advice please!

I have had bad PGP for weeks now and now I’m struggling to walk/drive any distance at all. I noticed when I stood up this morning the pressure feels further down than it was before, it’s like there’s a heavy ball lying right on my cervix and I have to keep my legs open to a degree or it’s seriously uncomfortable. P...

Over being pregnant

Is anyone just over being pregnant? I’m only 32 weeks but I’m so ready for baby to come already. I have a very active one year old and I’m just exhausted and uncomfortable all of the time. I feel guilty sometimes because of course I want him to grow and be healthy but June just isn’t coming fast enough for me.

Struggle sleeping

Anyone had any issues with sleeping due to breathing!? So I’m 36 years old, and 34.5 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I never had this issue with my first and I put on the same weight, I’ve gained like 4 stone which sounds a lot! And it feels a lot! Everyone keeps telling me I look fine, and I don’t feel too bad....

Baby movements - overweight Mama!

I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant and have yet to feel baby move. I’m only 5ft 2 and am nearly 14 stone so am well aware I’m overweight. Do we think me not feeling baby is just because of my weight or should I be worried? Previously lost a baby at 22 weeks so am very anxious!
