Can anyone recommend any good maternity leggings? I had h&m last time but can’t find them and just bought some more, but they’re not that stretchy or comfy on the leg. I’ll probably live in them so I want something really comfy for winter and that washes quite well

Lululemons, expensive but so worth it.

I got some from Jojo maman bebe. They are a good quality and not see through. Last pregnancy I bought new look and H&M but they needed binned after a few months whereas I’m hoping these will also see me through the 4th trimester
 
i loved my lovall leggins, and found asdas very good although they had a panel of mesh down the leg which i wasn’t keen on but was the only ones i could. get in at the end 😂

Lovealls are really thick and good quality, I had Asda ones early on and bought my pre-pregnancy size but now that I'm 33 weeks they are too small on me but I lived in them until about 28 weeks. I know shein are controversial but I've had a few pairs from there for cheap because I didn't want to spend too much as I won't be in them all that long. I got a large in the shein ones and they were too big until the third trimester but now they are so comfy and filling the gap from my Asda ones. I reckon I can wear my Asda ones again post partum though.
 
Does anyone have any experience of pregnancy while having the Mirena IUD? Surprised is an understatement….both over 40 and this wasn’t on the radar shall we say!

I *think* I'm having lightning crotch 🙈 every now and then I'm having sharp pains in the one side of my crotch and it's like a shooting pain that fades into a dull ache. Is this normal at 33 weeks?

Yep!! One of the many joyful side effects of pregnancy

Yep. One of the many things you don't get warned about 🙄

Sorry to those who might enjoy and love it but this rit of people, STRANGERS, coming up and thinking they can grope your bump has driven me soft tonight. The audacity of it 😩

This makes me so angry. Someone tried this at work last week so I side stepped them and just glared. We are not public property.

I’ve been told the monitor I’ve bought for baby (angelcare 3 in 1) is unsafe by a stranger in another forum. The pragmatic me says they can bugger off but the need mum is now concerned 🙄

I’ve found since being a mum that baby monitors are a very divisive topic!! There are those that believe no Wi-Fi (internet safety), those that believe over and above sound and video will make anyone with any form of anxiety much worse and I also know loads who have binned theirs in favour of a cctv camera (to be fair I think for the money, baby monitors are rubbish quality). Do what’s best for you and if you like it that’s all that matters. Also if it wasn’t safe it wouldn’t be on sale.

Yeah, my position on this is that there would’ve been something in the news, some recall, some payout if this had actually happened. On closer inspection, said dramallama has made some interesting posts in the past so I’ve asked for some proof this actually happened.

30 weeks tomorrow! Can just about make out tiny fists or knees through the skin. My husband was doing his usual nightly talking to the baby and moisturising my bump, felt some sort of limb and went very pale 😂 I've told him it only gets creepier as she gets bigger!

Has anyone else’s waters went early? I’m 29 weeks and the midwife said there’s not much fluid around baby and they suspect my waters have been leaking. I have scans every 2 weeks anyway because baby has gastroschisis but they’ve moved it to weekly now to keep an even closer eye. I’m just unsure what to expect now and Friday seems like such a long wait until I can get further answers if anyone has experienced similar!

I haven’t, but my best friend did. She suspected her waters had gone and twice they confirmed they hadn’t, but a scan at about 31 weeks showed she had next to no fluid around the baby, which is an infection risk. She had some other issues (v high risk) so had daily monitoring and 3x weekly scans, when it transpired she was showing signs of infection she was admitted until those signs had gone and allowed to go home because she lived next door to the hospital, otherwise they’d have kept her in. I would sayshe said she found it reassuring that they picked up on it (eventually!) and kept a verrrrrry close eye on her.
I’d be extra vigilant for things like any signs of infection or reduced movement, but sounds like they’ll be keeping an eye on you regularly and looking after you well! I hope you’re doing ok, I’m sure it feels very overwhelming xx
