Keep getting cramps in one leg at night and can’t sleep, anyone else?

Hey all, just turned 9 weeks and I am so incredibly exhausted. This is my second and I definitely didn’t feel this tired with my first. Anyone else in the same boat? Trying to work out if I’m just a pregnant toddler mum or maybe I should speak to my gp/ midwife when I meet them. Thanks from a very very tired gal 😮‍💨

Has anyone else been getting period pain cramps at 35 weeks? I’ve been in this morning for monitoring and nothing was picked up that I was having contractions or braxton hicks or anything and they don’t last that long but they have been on and off all day. I’m just wondering if this is normal and anyone else is expe...

Do have doctors booked for this evening, but partner is saying I'm a hypochondriac 🤣

Anyone else absolutely shattered? For the last three weeks my baby has been waking up every hour (increases to every half hour from about 4am.) I haven't had longer than a 45 minute stretch of sleep in so long. No one seems to understand this level of fatigue... I just get met with "yeah it's common to feel tired wi...

When did everyone else bump start to show? I'm 21 weeks size 16/18 and still haven't really got a bump😖 it's starting to get me down seeing other women's bumps at 21 weeks and people commenting that I'm now showing yet!

I’ll be 21 weeks tomorrow- in the past two weeks I’ve had what feels like medium intensity period cramping (like a contraction) for a minute or two about 4 times so far. Every few days I seem to have a moment where I have an intense period cramp feeling. Is this similar to others Braxton hicks experiences? It’s my ...

Hi need some help. I am currently 9 weeks 3 days pregnant and have had the worst nausea since 5 weeks. I haven’t actually ever been sick but the feeling of sickness is constant. I have found that eating helps but the weight gain is not helpful. I am still in the office 5 days a week and they don’t know so I am r...

How did you know before you took the test?

For those who have already had their babies, how long after your bloody show did you go into labour? I've had some period type cramps for a few days and had my bloody show yesterday/today. Just curious if it's a sign of labour coming soon.

Hey, is anyone experiencing pelvic/pubic bone pain? Sometimes it really hurts to even walk. I spoke to midwife about it and she said its normal at this stage with the baby pushing down and getting engaged but my gosh it hurts at times! 36 +6!

I'm 9 weeks along and I'm really struggling with constant nausea (only been sick a couple of times) and finding it hard to eat and sleep as a result. I've now been off work for a week and don't know how I would manage to do a 9-5 at the moment. Has anyone else had to sign off? I'm feeling so horribly guilty and worr...

Hi all, i’m 25 weeks pregnant and have been getting central, right and left abdominal cramps, I went to the Maternity unit on Sunday as I was a little worried. They said it was growing pains and stretching, has anyone else experienced this?

When did your baby showed a dimple My mom has dimples so do my 2 brothers and I Baby is 9 months and doesn’t show any signs of having any 😅 So I was checking if they might appear later

I’ve always read and heard that constipation is normal in the first trimester but has anyone experienced the opposite? I’m 5 weeks and 4 days and found out I was pregnant at about 4 weeks and have basically had diarrhea since then. It hasn’t been accompanied by any stomach pain or cramping so I’m not too concerned t...

Who has been told they have an anterior placenta and how often have you felt your baby move? I am 22 weeks and feel him so much sometimes and other days barely a flutter. I think that’s normal before 24 weeks anyway but interested to know what that means for the rest of pregnancy with this placenta positioning

Hi all, I’ve seen several post here about having nausea - myself included. Anyone here could recommend what’s the best remedy when you’re nauseous? Are those anti-nausea bands from amazon effective? Or should we drink loads of water? I just wanna survive the day without feeling nauseous or at least east the nau...

I had my mirena coil removed on 10/01 and started bleeding 48 hours after. My last period ended 02/10 (8 days before removal). I’ve had this coil for 7 years. The bleeding is heavier than my normal period, and has lasted 8 days so far. I’ve got a call with my nurse booked in but has anyone else experienced bleedi...
