So I’ve been taking lactulose daily and I have been since I’ve given birth but the last few days I haven’t managed to go.

Hey mom's I'm 20 weeks pregnant with my second kid and have found out I have an anterior placenta. I'm wondering when others that had an anterior placenta started feeling true kicks? I feel them so occasional and they still feel like they could just be gas bubbles. Does counting kicks work differently?

Hi guys, I’ve recently been told I have endometriosis and cysts on my ovaries but it can only be confirmed with a laparoscopy. Which I’m dreading, I’m happy all my symptoms have been listened to and I’m getting the answers I needed but it’s a lot to get my head around. My mum died 18 months ago during surgery and 3...

Anyone else feeling guilty for not doing any exercise? I use to run 3-5 times a week! In my first pregnancy I did lots of walking, but so much harder now with a 2 year old who doesn’t want to sit in a pram for an hours walk! Just lacking motivation, I hope it comes back in the 2nd trimester 🤍

I’m going to speak to my midwife this week about it but won...

Anyone else experiencing bloating, constipation and lower abdominal pain since being pregnant? Is there anything anyone can recommend to help with this I’m really suffering, and I feel so uncomfortable 😫

I had some pinky discharge yesterday, which also later in the evening turned a little brownish. This morning, I have taken a pregnancy test, although it may be a bit early to pick up anything. Maybe I'm going mad, but I can see a second indentation on there. Wishful thinking, maybe
