My emotions are all over the place and I feel super sad/angry/annoyed for a few days and then have days of feeling happy/energetic again. I hate the way I feel and look a lot of the time. My hair is always greasy, I have no boobs, my bum is flat, my clothes feel horrible on me I could leave my phone for a week an...

So I was wondering what y’all’s thoughts are, so I have been having some weird thing not normal to me happening I thought I got a period on 3/8 because I was bleeding but it was different like I was in severe pain bleeding through tampons in an hour and a half disoriented and dizzy but after that I was fine well a w...

Anyone else with swollen fingers/ankles/knees etc ache?! I feel like I’ve ran a marathon……. At 37 weeks 😂

Does anyone else have literal booty hole pain?? I just turned 6w and i swear it established overnight. Whenever I have to really pee it's especially bad, but when I go to the bathroom or even just walk around it hurts and it's so ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣 I don't *think* I'm constipated or have hemmerhoids but anything is…

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? 🤣
