Is it normal for baby to move less once engaged in pelvis? I was in triage yesterday and I’m having to go again today. Baby is meeting the criteria but based on her normal movements, she is moving less

Two weeks postpartum and the only thing keeping me going is coffee. Zzzzzzz

Hey ladies! I’m 6m pp and woke up today feeling really deflated, worn out, totally burnt out! Anyone else feel the same? Just feel like I’ve hit a wall and feel guilty because my baby isent a difficult baby!

So I realized at 3 in the morning waking up with my 5 months old that I never updated my app that I had spotting and it never turned in to bleeding and I wanted to take some cold meds and I'm like fuck it take the test first and then you can take the med I 100% thought it was going to be negative and I was just goin...

I'm 40 weeks and for some reason my bumb is significantly smaller than last week 😅 I don't think baby has dropped yet either so I'm confused on why I went from looking 9 months pregnant to looking 7 months pregnant 🤷🏻‍♀️ Today's photo on post, last week's in comments.

I have: lower back pain, more regular bowel movement that are soft, tightening/cramping in my stomach every 1-2 hours I’m 37+6

Anyone experiencing Braxton hicks and what do they feel like? Didn't get them at all with my first but this time around it's all been completely different! I've been getting a mixture of strong period like pains up to like a stitch sort of pain 😅 have a couple times thought omg am I sure these are just Braxton…

I am only around 5 weeks pregnant and only got the positive test less than a week ago. But I don't have the nausea yet and it's making me so anxious. I remember feeling very sick with my first in the first trimester. The only symptoms I have are very sore boobs and I am really tired. Makes me worry that I am not act...

Anyone else dealing with so much pressure that sitting down or walking or just doing anything is really hard? It hurts soo bad!

Girls, what are we doing to soothe headaches? For obvious reasons i dont really want to take paracetamol ect but they are so bad sometimes!

I used to think it was weird when people say they ‘hate water’ but I seem to have developed an aversion to it 😳 I struggle to drink water and I can’t make myself do it! I have to add at least 1/3 juice to my water to drink it.

Sorry not mum related but I need some advice plz. My nose was pierced around 10months ago and it's been fine all this time now suddenly a bump has appeared. First it was just next to it but now it has grown on top of the actual stud so you can only see a little bit of the stud. I'm worried what do I do???

Hey ladies, I have had nausea but that has disappeared after the last 2 days and I now have cramping on and off for the last two days, it’s only mild but I’m concerned. Is this normal or should I be worried? I’m 8 weeks tomorrow

Is anyone struggling with back pain now? Oh and sitting? Like I cannot sit without feeling like I’m being folded and half and can’t breathe and then my back is constantly aching. I feel stuck in my bed laying down because any activity is painful

I’m struggling to hold my baby or anything 😩 my back ache is getting worse not helped by physio, getting myself in a state where I’m not feeling hungry/not eating & gone down to under 8 stone really worried about myself

Recently ran to the comments of a post following the “met my younger self for coffee” trend 😂 She said she’d punch her younger self in the face for saying she was tired. The comments were full of ladies without kids getting super triggered like, “We’re all exhausted!” and mamas saying it’s not…

Girls, I know I shouldn't be embarrassed but I am hence the anonymous post but I'm really worried, has anyone experienced this... for just abit before birth and for the whole 6 months of my daughter being in this world, I have wiped bright red blood from my bum, quite a lot, and some days it won't be as bad but majo...

Hey all! I’m 12+3 today and last night I noticed I had a bit of spotting. I’ve been having a bit of cramping for a few days so the spotting freaked me out a little. This is my second pregnancy and I didn’t have this with my first. My doctors aren’t concerned, but I can’t help but feel like something may be wrong. Ha...

Hi I’m 9 weeks and on two anti sickness tablets my symptoms have drastically improved over night I’m worried my mind is just thinking the worst

I keep getting sharp pains when I’m singing randomly in my belly or when I’m startled, is that my baby reacting to me and moving as it only happens randomly I’m 16 weeks - i dunno what else it could be besides the baby getting bigger etc but I’ve been told it’s my baby moving
