Pregnancy

Our April 27th baby arrived yesterday (4th May) at 9:51am 7lb 9oz. Most horrendous, and traumatic birth. Did manage to not get them to do an emergency C section though which has saved the last little bit of non trauma I have. However, so glad to be through it with this little darling- finding out she was a girl even...

Belly got so much bigger this past month. How am I gonna do 3 more?!??

I'm booked on Monday for induction exactly at 39 weeks. My husband and I decided to move forward as the baby is moving less and I have a severe back/leg problem (I can't walk). We decided it was the best for both of us. Can you please share your experience if you have had one? Was it good? Bad? And why? Im stres...

Got my first midwife appointment in a couple of weeks what can I expect?

How soon after does Labour start or the pain? I had mine about 40 mins ago and the pressure and pain OMG I can’t stop crying

As the title says, did anyone get pregnant before the recommended time from the doctor? I know they usually recommend 14-18 months between c-sections to prevent uterine rupture, loss, etc. Just looking if anyone has/knows of any personal experiences!!

We really like the names Oliver George and Albie but SO stuck on what to call him 🙈 Surname is Zadeh. Any suggestions for names like these?

Make handsome baby boy Denim Makai born April 26, 2024 at 8:14 AM. He was 6 lbs. 2 oz. 18 inches long.

Looking for a bit of reassurance if anyone else had experienced anything similar 😕 I am 14.5 weeks now so into my second trimester. Everything is going well and I haven’t had any irregular discharge so far. However yesterday I noticed a bit of brown blood (only a small amount) when wiping after I had an orgasm (no…

Just hit 28 weeks today and for a couple of weeks now my baby has NOT stopped moving. I’m Not exaggerating. I am getting no sleep because his movements constantly wake me up. Is anyone else experiencing this? This is my second, and although my first was really active, she definitely had rest periods!!

Hey guys it’s my third day in hospital, and we’ve tried two inductions. I really don’t want a C-Section. Is there any tips i can use to help the process of my induction. I had the pessary then I’ve had the balloon.🥺 Anything would be helpful🤍

Been having a few pains below in my pelvis and back period type cramps. Went to the toilet last night around 4am and had to wipe about 5 times as quite a bit of discharge came out. It wasn’t clumpy but was thickish and clear, stretchy a bit like ovulation discharge. Would you say that’s the start of something or pot...

This is all in theory, I haven’t been offered either yet but I have a feeling I might (over 35 with a >90% baby). From what I read on induction they are very painful, often don’t progress as expected and might end up with an emergency c-section anyway, after laboring for hours. On the other hand, a planned c-section...

6 weeks of 3-4 hourly feeds that take 1.5-2 hours to complete. Plus I also now have a cold, I'm absolutely hanging and cry at the drop of a hat. Wishing the weeks away until it gets better but also feeling guilty about that.anyone else?

So I am 38 weeks and 5 days today (2nd pregnancy) and I am booked in for a c section on Thursday as this baby is growing large. He was 8lb 13oz at 36 weeks (so almost 3 weeks ago). I have really struggled this week with my PGP, the pain is really server when turning at night, I am now struggling to walk and can o...

So, I had my baby on 21st April via C section. I know they say recovery is 6 to 8 weeks and advise no sex for at least 6 weeks... but has anyone had sex sooner and not had any issues? x
