I've seen online lots of things about them but my SIL's all said they don't know what a birth plan is and basically you just go in and have to deal with it all in the moment?

Hi Sydney mums! I’m a FTM to my 5 month old daughter☺️ I'd appreciate any recommendations you have for baby/pram friendly places(cafes, restaurants, libraries, parks and museums etc) for baby playdate or catch up in Sydney CBD! My daughter is not a big fan of baby carriers so I have to push the pram anywhere we go....

Any recommendations for dealing with congestion? My 12 week old little girl is sounding a little phlegmy in her nose - it’s not blocked more loose.

I think I’m in labour I’m having regular tightenings and it’s painful enough that I’m using my TENS machine. I went in to be checked 7-8hrs ago as I thought my waters were leaking and they were, also got my bloody show. We got home at 2am and I’ve tried to sleep inbetween but haven’t managed to, also it seems to me ...

Has anyone had super intense false labor?! I've been having contractions every 5-10 minutes that last about 1 minute long for about 4 hours. (I'm using the 3-1-1 rule so not going to hospital until contractions are 3 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute, for at least 1 hour). But I've read that falls labor can also be i...

I had to go for a ultrasound yesterday and they wouldn’t tell me anything they said it’s confidential but my doctor called today with the results saying my baby stopped growing at 8 weeks 6 days and I am 9 weeks 7 days but I had went in on march 5th for a ultrasound because I had bad cramps and was worried because i...

Does anyone know if you HAVE to stay 2 nights after giving birth? If all is well with me and baby can I go home after the first night? My son will be 23 months and I’m nervous to leave him, I’ve never been away from him more than a few hours :/

I think my waters have gone. I keep just leekng and I've been to the bathroom to to pee and I'm still leeking. Is that my waters? I'm 39+4 today and I had a sweep a week ago and have been 2cms since then and I've lost my mucus plug also since then

He was born at 7:54am and he was 6lbs 14oz 20 inches long. I only pushed for 5 minutes and I was only in labor for 6 hours. Happy birthday baby boy. 💕🥰

I’m 36+1 and have been extremely tired lately, having braxton hicks contractions more frequently these past few days compared to last week, and although I used to be constipated I have now had no issue going #2. My water hasn’t broke and i’ve actually had minimal discharge, but it seems all the other signs are of ea...

Hello! Can anyone recommend a midwife or midwife practice that delivers at Morristown hospital? TIA!

This is my second baby and I’ve had additional fetal monitoring due to some complications. Today at my growth scan she measured 5 pounds 10 ounces and in the 14th percentile. My first baby I didn’t have an ultrasound after my anatomy scan so I have nothing to compare these scans to. I asked my obgyn if she was co...

Immigration processing SUCKS now I’m alone with a 6 month old. Red Bull or coffee does work and I have to clean but by this time of the day I’m so tired.

I am 19yrs old and 27 weeks pregnant. I am extremely into everything holistic and I would really love to have a home birth/water birth for my delivery. I am low-risk and healthy however due to certain family members negative opinions on home births I feel nervous about doing it for my first pregnancy because I have ...

What does everyone use to get more energy I’m so tired everyday. I do sleep but my son wakes up 4/5 am all the time so I get broken sleep.

Is your baby getting around yet? I’ll put him down in one spot and find him far away in another 😂 he just rolls everywhere, pulls his legs under his belly trying to crawl or he holds onto something and pulls himself. It’s hilarious where I find him sometimes 😂😭

Hey all!! I hope you're all well! My daughter was born 11/4/24 and is four (and a half) months old! She can roll from back to belly and belly to back, she's trying SO hard to sit up on her own and looooves tummy time and learning how to crawl! I've only gotten her to giggle a couple times, but it made me cry the fir...

Anyone else just as fascinated with these ultrasounds as me 🤯 with my first 5 years ago the best I got was a very grainy black and white 2D 😂 7 more weeks tops til I can hold this little guy! I’m getting excited

What did you all name your boys! My 8 week old is called Noah🩵

So I’ll be 6 months pp next week, multiple times today I’ve had sudden sharp shooting type pains in my scar. They last around 2-5 mins at a time then completely disappear. Earlier this happened when I was reaching or bending down but has also happened when laying or being sat. Has anyone experienced this?
