Ate the strawberries and refused everything else. Yay. 😭

Does anyone else worry that their bump is not getting any bigger? I’m 25+4 but don’t really feel it’s there! I have a colleague at work who is pregnant also and has popped so it hard to not compare sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Im 29 weeks and baby usually moved a lot at night however she’s been moving all throughout the day today, im not sure if i should be worried?

19 weeks and when I move or I’m laying down and turn from one side to another there’s a little bit of pain in my abdomen. Normal or not

Has anyone else’s sickness returned near the end of pregnancy? I’m 37 weeks tomorrow. I did have a sickness bug last week but seemed to be getting better but today I have just felt so nauseous and tired again. It’s like the start of pregnancy all over again 😩 I have so much to do to get organised and have 0 energy…

What can I do to find out why I’m so fatigue? Can’t get thru the days

Everybody keeps saying to prioritize rest to combat sleep deprivation, but the more sleep I get the worse my depression gets. It feels like being sleep deprived is the only reason I don't lose my mind everyday because I'm too pumped with adrenaline to get sad. I want to spend time with my partner but our sleep sch...

So I’m Coming on up on 20 weeks Wednesday and the movements and kicks have been getting stronger when baby boys not having his quite chill days he’s all over it’s like i can feel him switching positions and flipping any other mamas?

I’m 19 weeks 4 days and some days I feel bubbles little man moving but some days I don’t. Last Friday I went to the er because there was no ultrasound tech in office that day and they only did Doppler and found his heart beat and I was rushed out by the dr who didn’t reassure my worries. She also said “we don’t do u...

Hello Does anyone remember the “world turning different” feeling after having your first baby? Like everything is new and weird and you are a different person now. Does this happen again with your second or do they just fit in?

Unsure if I should call triage as I’m not sure if this is really classed as ‘reduced movements’ I’m 37 weeks tomorrow and I’ve never really experienced reduced movements before, I would really necessarily say my baby has a ‘pattern’ for movements either, IE Morning/after eating etc, he’s just pretty active in gene...

My little boy was conjunctivitis in both eyes they are so sore and swollen! Anyone been in this boat. We finally got drops from the doctors today but they are so sore and he hates me bathe them which I have to as they stick together. I feel awful seeing him like this 😞

Is this normal?? So yesterday morning I had 3 lots of sickness. Thought that was the start of my morning sickness but today I've had nothing (not that I want it) but just worried something may be wrong🥺😬 Anyone else had this?

Sometimes I wake up in a panic bc I slept hard for a long stretch and it takes me a second to gain my bearings and find him. (Even tho he’s always in the same spot by my belly, my sleepy brain just searches up by my pillow first)

Those who are suffering badly with sickness, is it starting to improve yet? I had HG with my first and it probably started to become manageable at about 17 weeks and that was still with medication. Really hoping for it to get better sooner this time!

Help!! I woke up around 5 am to severe period like cramps that have been pretty consistent. Also having lower back pain. On March 24 I was 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Am I in labor???? We just live an hour from the hospital so I’m scared to go in and it be too soon..

Anyone had bleeding / cramping at 10 weeks pregnant that has ended up being ok? I’m on progesterone and had bleeding and some cramping last night which has stopped now. Booked in the EPU for a scan tomorrow morning but can’t help thinking the worst :(

The last two days I’ve had this really uncomfortable pain not sure if it’s like a muscular pain or something else. Do you think this is just part o round ligament pain or should I get this checked out? It’s literally under my (small) bump area
