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.

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??? I’m absolutely losing my mind over it because I have had no signs of a miscarriage I just simply feel like having no symptoms is too good to be true 🤔…

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!
Hi, sorry for the TMI. But I am 31 weeks with my first, and I have been feeling a lot of pressure in my vagina and some tingling as well, especially when walking. I discovered last week I have a slight prolapse and been a bit incontinent when coughing or sneezing. I have told my GP but didn't get much other than the...
I wouldn’t say they are painful just uncomfortable, it’s been happening all day. I really don’t know if they are contractions or not but the only way I can describe it is the lower part of my bump gets tight and then feels like strong period pains, I’ve been timing them and it’s lasting about 30 seconds every 10/15 ...

I am 38 weeks, nearly 39 weeks, and started with pain in the early hours of this morning due to position baby is in (what I've been told by midwife) just wonder who else is having this ?? 🙃

I have had a little jelly discharge which is tinted very slightly pink but I did have sex last night so not sure if it’s just that. I keep getting period pains that wrap all the way around to my back and I have this pressure like I need to poo every so often. Is this just my body getting ready or is it labour? Due d...
