I think I found motherhood a big adjustment at first, and I definitely have my moments where I wish I could just have a day to myself to go sit in a quiet coffee shop and relax, or have a mooch around the shops without a toddler in tow! But I love my son more than anything in the world and ultimately I wouldn't change a thing. I'm sure once you meet your baby, you'll feel the same way - maybe not immediately, but over time, that love will come, and it will outweigh any hard times.Does anyone else keep seeing those articles come up on Facebook like ‘why I regret becoming a mum, it’s a scam’(probably because I clicked on one before). I love children so much and I’m not a party girl/big drinker so Im not concerned about ‘mourning’ my youth or anything like that but mentally am I gonna be able to cope if it’s THAT hard that people regret becoming mothers? I’m scared I’m not going to be good enough.

Ah amazing! Fantastic news, I’m so pleased for you@Motherofpugs scan went all well, active little baby and 14 weeks friday!!
X
So I’m back from the GTT - 2 blood tests in two hours, they didn’t do a finger prick on me, but at the start she said she takes my blood and tests it to make sure it’s within the range she needs to work with (did not elaborate further).
My main advice is down the drink, it’s gross! Download some Netflix. I tried to do some work but the lighting in the waiting room just made me want to nap instead…
Just chowing down on a prawn mayo sandwich, s&v squares and a fake treat size mars bar before logging on to my emails
I am such a wild ride.
Besides, you might get a very easy baby, they exist, let’s hope for the best.

I am such a wild ride.motherhood is hard and especially at the beginning I was like “WTF is this fresh hell?” But you a) get used to it and b) things (I.e. you and your baby etc) change. I mean you’ve MADE a PERSON, and that is pretty incredible, I don’t think many people actually want to reverse that. They just don’t want the hard work that comes with it.Does anyone else keep seeing those articles come up on Facebook like ‘why I regret becoming a mum, it’s a scam’

Yeh I did about 15 weeks, had the worst sickness I ever had, throwing up in the street. But it only lasted a couple of days and now I don't have any nausea. I was prescribed omeperazole for acid reflux around the same time so not sure if related !
Sorry for the TMI but am 33 weeks and have had some very light bleeding after sex. No pain and blood was very light pink in colour and hasn’t continued. Not sure whether to worry or just put it down to cervix being irritated maybe?
I keep getting a rolling type sensation… almost like a mild muscle spasm… gassy type feeling just below belly button area!! Does this sound like baby? I have an anterior placenta so don’t wanna believe it’s baby and it’s just gas! Just had a frappaccino and started happening a lot! Im 19+5.
Be honest does this sound like I just have trapped wind

I had some light pink spotting after having sex at about 12 weeks, apparently it's normal to have some pale spotting after sex as everything is a little swollen/sensitive down there! It might be worth contacting your midwife just to check though
Sounds like movements to me! Do you know if you go on a roller coaster or drive down a short steep hill your belly sort of rolls? That's the only way I could describe my sons first movements, sort of like waves in my stomach until the actual 'kicks' began.I keep getting a rolling type sensation… almost like a mild muscle spasm… gassy type feeling just below belly button area!!

I had a weird pulsing/spasm sensation near my belly button recently, I mentioned it to my midwife today and she said it was too high up for baby and it was probably my organs shifting a bit - I'm 17 weeks today. Keep an eye though, it could be the start of something!I keep getting a rolling type sensation… almost like a mild muscle spasm… gassy type feeling just below belly button area!!

Speaking of which - I had my 16 to 18 week midwife appointment today and it was so reassuring. It was my first time meeting my midwife and she's lovely, she took time to explain everything and said she'll check baby's heartbeat at every appointment which is really reassuring. It was so lovely hearing the heartbeat today as I'd prepared myself in case something had gone wrong since the 12 week scan - but all is well, and I even got a recording to play to my husband
Yesss this is what I was trying to describe to my husband a few days ago!! When your tummy gets left behind! I seem to mainly notice it when laying or sitting down.
Keep thinking it’s gas… but no gas appears!!
I have wiped a couple of times, 14 weeks on Friday, and it has a yellow tinge.Thanks, I did have a quick google and it says to look out for it being yellow tinged. TMI this is not. It’s clear. There’s been a few moments where Iv had to question did I just let out a tiny bit of wee!
So much stuff no one warns you about
Is this an infection? Will this not have been picked up on my urine sample?
Are you taking pregnecare? Makes your wee and discharge a funny colour x
That sounds very normal for discharge. It changes throughout pregnancy constantly.
If you've not drank much too, then it could be urine.
As long as it doesn't smell strong, it sounds normal
Yes, the one you take all the way through pregnancy. I was panicking in case it was an infection @Nayalove96
I had to ask my midwife because it was either green or bright yellowYes, the one you take all the way through pregnancy. I was panicking in case it was an infection @Nayalove96
she said it’s very common and it’s one of the vitamins in there I can’t remember which one 
I think it's vitamin C? I could be very wrong though. Happens with regular vitamins tooI had to ask my midwife because it was either green or bright yellow
Movements question. Baby was being super active over the weekend - kicking away really hard. He's still moving and kicking but it's not quite as noticeable and possibly feels a bit more internal. Has he just turned round or should I be worried? I'm 28 weeks tomorrow.
I don’t know the answer but I'm
In a similar position… she’s been quite high on my tummy recently but today she seems to be back down on my bladder/shifted back.
Mini tattle420 was born on 15/11 at 2340H @ 38+4! He’s absolutely amazing and we couldn’t be happier despite the ~18h labour.
Tldr: had contractions at 5am on 15/11 and went to the hospital at 7:30am bc they were about 6mins apart. At this point I had not lost my mucus plug at all and waters hadn't broken so was shocked that I was having contractions. Found out I was 4cm dilated at admission (to my shock). Proceeded to get to 5cm at about 10am and stayed at 5-6cm for HOURS. Got my epidural at 11am and only moved on to 7.5cm in the evening after doc broke my water at around 5pm. Well, epidural stopped working for the last 2cm + pushing so I felt everything incl the ring of fire 
Glad that I only pushed for 20 mins in the end though, I was beyond exhausted. Also kept throwing up all my food and got the shakes super bad throughout. Still would consider it a positive experience!
