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???

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’ve just gone to the toilet (I was a little constipated) and when I wiped after my wee I’ve got red/pinky blood! It was on a couple of wipes but didn’t fill the tissue. It got fainter/pinker too but now I’m super upset and worried 😭😭

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.
