Pregnancy

So I'm about to have baby number 4 which will be a girl. I have two boys and a girl already My little girl is named after a Disney princess (Aurora) . For my next little girl do I pick another princess name or something random. People keep telling me it's a bit harsh not to name the next one after a princess as it ...

We finally found a name that both me and my partner liked (it’s taken most of the pregnancy to find one). I told him I didn’t want anyone to know it just incase we change it. He went on to tell a family member and now half his family knows and he says I’m making too much of a big deal of not wanting to tell people ...

Anyone had a long induction and then emergency c section and then got pregnant again? How did you decide on either planned c section or vbac? Were you worried vbac would end in another emergency c section? I'm assuming planned c section recovery would be better than failed induction and emergency c section recovery?...

Hi guys! First time mum to be 🤰🏼 I’m looking for advise really on c-sections. I would like to know the positives and negatives if anyone is happy to share x

30w vs 37w! Wow what a difference the third trimester has made, I’ve blown up! At least now people have stopped making unsolicited comments on the size of my bump 😅 we had a growth scan yesterday and baby boy is est. 6lbs! How’s everyone else getting on? Any similar weights? 🥰

Hi guys x I had my 20 week scan and everything was in the normal range, however they said that the diameter of her head (the BPD) was a little smaller than average, measuring at 42.9 mm. Her head circumference (HC) is in the normal range though. She was also lying in an awkward position so I don’t know if that could...

Last night I had some cramps and baby felt super low.. But this morning I'm not so sure she is head down anymore.. I think i can feel her on the left and the right side of my stomach. Has anyone else felt this? Is it just me being terrible at locating her position? 😂🫣

When you’re TTC and when you’re pregnant, everyone tells you how rewarding it is to have a baby and watch them grow. Im 9 weeks PP. I’m struggling so much right now. I can’t eat when I want or sleep when I want, I can’t even go to the toilet when I need to. My boobs are sore and my nipples are on fire. My clothes do...

Started an induction on Wednesday and baby boy was born this morning! 7lb 3oz of pure perfection, can’t wait for him to meet his big brother 🥰

Anyone else super tired? I’ll sleep until about 10:30 then move around the house and sleep again at about 13:30 for a few hours. Bloods are fine. Anyone else experiencing this ?

Has anyone else been told their little one is in the third percentile Had a scan 2/3 weeks ago as my little man was measuring in the 10th percentile at 29 weeks and yesterday I had an extra scan and his dropped to 3.7 % I’m a little all over the place and am worried his percentile has dropped he started at 50% wh...

My first pregnancy was in COVID 2020, they’ve booked my first appointment I take it that partners or whoever you have for support just attend scans not midwife appointments?

I’m 37 + 4, been having on and off pains in my lower abdomen and groin area, lasts about 60 seconds, stomach hardens up during this time then softens again - feels like period cramps/sharp pains. I can sleep through them, but when awake comes and goes every 30 mins or so. How do I tell the difference between this a...

Two nights ago I really thought I was going into labour. I got suddenly very tired and grumpy in the evening although I had had plenty of rest. I also got period like cramps and along with baby kicking a lot it was pretty uncomfortable. I just felt weird and thought is tonight the night. Eventually got to sleep and ...

This is a little rant about the midwife service I’ve received I know they’re understaffed and things but I just feel let down and need to share. So I expressed my concern at my first appointment as I said last pregnancy I had a different midwife every appointment so was always measured differently and sent for growt...

We had our daughters 27 month check on Wednesday, everything went great and I’m so proud of her! However, the health visitor lady told us that our daughter is possibly the tallest she’s ever seen for her age, which I find hard to believe😂 so now I’m just curious how tall your maybe not so little ones are!😂 Our…
