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...

Symptoms are gone!

9weeks and suddenly all my symptoms have vanished this week, I no longer “feel” pregnant anymore and my tummy has shrunk. Does anybody know if this is good or bad???

Does breech baby movements feel less?

My last baby was head down early and stayed and he moved so much! This baby moved so much then turned breech and for the last few days since I’ve had it confirmed he’s breech I’ve felt hardly any movement. I’m guessing that’s because he’s breech? I feel slightly out off breath and it’s sore/pressure around my r...

Groin pressure

Hi! Has anybody felt any pressure in their groin area? The only way I can describe it is the same place it’s sore after you’ve done a spinning class/ ridden a bicycle for a while - right in the thigh area. Seems to get worse if I’ve been on my feet a bit but I can’t work out what it could be!
