I planned a whole party, and ofc everyone cancels day of, I’m so disappointed. I know my daughter won’t understand but i am so hurt. I just wanted her to have someone to play with. If anyone can come today, doesn’t matter what time, it would mean the absolute world to her and me.

Baby Hunter entered the world on 12/05/2024 2 days before his estimated due date. Woke up 00:50 with contractions and by 18:36 he’s was here with no induction. (Shocked myself and my midwife as it’s my first and he was here within 1:30mins in the pool). Mamas that have no signs of labour is near don’t worry I ha...

So this morning at 4am i woke up went for a wee and had bright red bleeding when i wiped. I phoned 111 straight away and the doctor called me back a few hours later but by then the bleeding had lightened and has now eventually stoped. I had a scan booked for today which i went to and my baby is absolutely fine and h...

So ladies i got the dreaded call yesturday to tell me my results come back high from the glucose test, so i have a meeting to attend on tuesday to go through it all.. my anxiety is through the roof right now, already have a fear of needles and blood and the thought of doing my levels by myself is terrifying me 😩😂…

Hi everyone, Just looking for reassurance really. We just had our 20 week scan yesterday, and the sonographer told us she is pretty sure our baby has a club foot. This doesn't run in our families at all so it wasn't even on my radar as something that could be an issue, and it's left me a little bit scared and worri...

I'm exactly 40 weeks today. Lost some of my mucus plus on Wednesday. And today brownish blood like discharge. Do you think that's part of mucus plus too?

Hello, I’m a first time mum to be and over the last couple of days I’ve been experiencing brown discharge, when I wipe I notice sometimes it’s a brown colour. I’m going to be 13 weeks tomorrow and worrying that this is something I should be worried about. I’ve also been suffering from lower back pain. I’ve had my ur...

Includes picture of discharge ** Never had this like this before , is this something to be concerned about. Never had discharge like this ever.

26+1 and I swear I wasn’t much bigger than this full term with my first 😂 of course I’m now getting the unsolicited remarks regarding how big I am which tbh I don’t think I’m huge and it’s just unnecessary 🙄

If you only use gas and air, what's worse, the contractions or the pushing/ 'ring of fire'? 🥺

Hi, I’m wondering if anyone can help settle my nerves a little. I had a 20 week scan & they said they couldn’t see the heart properly went for a scan yesterday 23 weeks, they said there’s fluid around the babies heartbeat the largest pocket pool is 18mm. I’ve had absolutely no information and have got to wait until ...

TW : cancer Hi, so been going through a lot recently and have basically been told that I might have metastatic cancer and need to go to a cancer centre for further testing. I am going out of mind googling and looking it all up. I was wondering if anyone had been through the same and wondering what these further test...

Well I guess this is goodbye for now. I misscarried last night. I have a final scan on Monday to be sure but I know I’m already sure. Thank you for the support ladies but see you again soon x

Ive been experiencing reduced movement since yesterday morning so i went to triage who checked babies heart beat and said all was okay however due to me only feeling her once in that time they wanted to admit me. I said I wanted to see if i could get her to wriggle a bit whilst I was at home as will be less stressed...

I’ve graduated from Mummy to be to Mummy! Little Nancy Louise was born on Tuesday 14th May at 6:46am weighing 6lb 14oz 💕 There are no words to describe this feeling, I’m so excited for those of you yet to meet your babies to have them in your arms safely 🤍 Also, can I just add… women are fucking amazing 💪🏼There…

So yesterday at my diabetes appointment they told me that its most likely that I'll end up being booked in for a C-section as I need to drink orange juice to take my iron tablets 3 times a day so making it nearly impossible to control my sugar levels.. I've been telling myself from day 1 that I'm prepared for a sect...

I think I read somewhere that you can feel very cold and shivery during or after a c-section. Is that correct? just wondering if I need to pack a big jumper

On my way to the hospital for an induction as I have PGP causing a lot of pain. My mum has been unsupportive since I told her I'm being induced even messaged me at 7am this morning to tell me to try and give birth naturally and wait the PGP pain out. I understand she's old school and in an ideal world I would have l...

I’m only 20 weeks pregnant with my first, never noticed a issue down there before and suddenly feel somethings at the opening of my vagina and feels like the anterior wall is swollen and almost hanging down 😫

15 days post c-section, is this looking like I need a trip to the GP? There's a slight smell sometimes but with it being warm and me having an overhang it's hard to tell if it just sweat, especially as it appears better the dryer I manage to keep it 😅
