We’ve had reduced movements since Tuesday morning and we’ve had to go in to be monitored every 12 hours until we have a scan this afternoon, so 5 times so far. Luckily on the monitoring they are picking up heartbeat etc but still hardly any movement. Has anyone had anything similar? I feel like I’m cracking up no...

Anyone else urinating less? I wake up after 8 hours of sleep and don’t feel like I’m desperate for a wee like i did in the first trimester and thats even with drinking fluid during the night, not sure if it should be a cause for concern? Anyone else?

Anyone else feel like the top of their bump is bruised…

Anyone else around the same time line getting some mild groin and period type cramps? Baby was head down last week and assuming it’s all just movement and position and hormones. Will check again next week at midwife but yeah, fun!

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?

Thursday 10th April 🎀 Feels so surreal 🥹

I am due on Sunday and we still don't have a name. We need a boy and girl name that goes nicely with sister Nellie.

Is anyone else finding that their hips and back are really aching when trying to sleep? I always used to be a side sleeper so didn’t think I would have problems but as my bump is getting bigger im finding it really difficult. I’ve tried various different pillows (normal and pregnancy) but still wake up throughout th...

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...
