Had my baby end on Jan 2024 and it was pretty traumatic she was a very colicky baby then diagnosed with CMPA. I am now an insomniac from all the broken sleep from the baby stage and never quite shook it off I’ve tried everything to reset my sleep but it’s like adrenaline through my body at night. I’ve done CBT and p...

Does anyone else’s baby sometimes go completely stiff? Both arms straight above head and both legs dead straight? It’s always when I lay her down, but not every time. She doesn’t appear to be in any discomfort, it almost looks like she’s straining. Doc not concerned but just wondering if anyone else’s baby does this?

How's everyone dealing with nausea? I'm nearly 8 weeks pregnant and feel awful. I also have a toddler too and most days I'm just sat on the sofa , I feel like a horrible parent. I want to eat but when I do I feel more sick 😫

Went for a wee before, and when I wiped the tissue was very light pink. Is it normal? I’m 8 weeks pregnant

So I’ve been feeling/seeing baby move for a while now, probably since around 14 weeks and I’m 21 weeks now. But the last two days his movements have reduced quite a bit and I’m not sure whether to be concerned. I do have an anterior placenta but that hasn’t stopped me feeling him previously. Is it work ringing triag...

A week away from 6 months and I’m feeling so unpretty and huge! Wbu?

Gave birth on 27th February, my bleeding stopped around 3 weeks. Starting to get cramps and back ache, could this be my first period. Has anyone had theres? If so how was it 😖😖

So I’ll be 6 weeks tomorrow and today I woke up and had brown and reddish discharge. It’s not a lot but each time I wipe it’s there. I have a bit of lower back pain. Anybody else had this? I also think it’s too early for me to go for a scan. Is there anything I can do to find out everything is ok? Thank you

I’ve been in denial as this will be mine and my husbands 5th baby!! Now the bump is here to stay😂everyone keeps asking “where did that come from?” No one knew I was pregnant 😂

I've currently got a hot water bottle full of boiling water on my tummy, ibuprofen paracetamol and codeine, tens machine is on full and I'm still hurting 🙃

How long after your symptoms disappeared did you miscarry? I was puking every 2-3 hours and nauseous 24/7. I have not puked in over 72 hours with little to no nausea. Should I be concerned?

When did your periods come back. I finished bleeding when I was 4 weeks pp. I’m now 7 weeks pp. I’ve been having period symptoms but nothing has come from it?

I’ve been getting shooting pains in my lower stomach just above my vagina all day. Anyone know what this could be? Could baby be pressing on a nerve?

Does anyone else’s partner/ husband not want to touch bump? He just doesn’t want to feel our baby move, even this morning baby had hiccups and I could feel it so I said quick give me your hand, and it was a firm no. It’s actually starting to hurt my feelings a little. He’s super excited about baby but just feel like...

Had a growth scan yesterday, and everyone keeps telling me this is a willy 🤣🤣 can anyone confirm? 🤣

Girls, I am 12w+6d and i have not felt pregnant for the past 2 days.. all my signs disappeared including the tender breasts. I am getting so worried! I have my 12 week scan in 3 days but feel ages away with all these thoughts. Has anybody experienced this where they dont feel pregnant at all suddenly?

Has anyone had their period yet? Was it heavier or more painful than normal?

So i have a anterior placenta so its up front, and it just sucks because i can’t feel my baby moving which is common for this placement but it sucks 😭 Im 22 almost 23 weeks and haven’t been able to feel my baby, i know he is in there doing flips and shit thanks to the anatomy scan but i just feel like Im being…

Anyone else experiencing horrible sweating? Especially at night? I’m 7 weeks PP as of yesterday and I can’t make it through the night without having to change my clothes because I’ve sweat so bad 😭 Is this normal? When does it go away? When should I be concerned?

Is anyone else struggling to sleep? I wake up between 4-5am every morning, and just can’t get back to sleep. Is this is a pregnancy thing or just a me thing?!
