I follow a lady on Instagram who does tarot reading, I've had a reading from her before. Recently she posted about a spirit coming to her with a message, and said she hoped by posting it would get to the right person.

I could relate to 2 of the things there (one is my brother in laws name, the other she had said 2 little girls with braided hair and I saw a video of exactly this after seeing the post). The other things I couldn't relate to.

However, the first line of the post was an ominous message that's really scared me. I don't want to say exactly what here, but basically that something would happen that sounded really concerning. I read it right before bed and was awake on and off all night thinking about it.

Does anyone think this could be a true prediction? If I dont relate to all of the points, is it likely it isnt for me (and the video was a weird coincidence?)

So confused right now and not sure what the next steps will be, if any. Previously I have had an overactive thyroid, which was successfully treated with medication and bloods have been normal since (slightly on the low side but Dr's felt didn't need any levothyroxine for it).

Fast forward to now...currently 6 months postpartum with horrific knee pain, my knees crack and I'm struggling to walk up stairs, get up from standing and in pain even at night. My Dr felt my knees and said she could feel them crunching as she moved them. Also having longer periods, hair loss etc that could be postpartum related but are also thyroid symptoms. Bruising like a peach all up and down my legs.

My Dr ordered every blood test under the sun to check for arthritis (RA factor and anti CCP bloods), diabetes, thyroid, checked my iron levels, full blood count, the works. All normal except slightly iron & vit D deficient which we knew anyway & she is re-prescribing meds for those. She has asked me to come in again next week, but I'm so confused that my bloods are all fine but I can be in so much pain. Anyone had a similar experience, bloods ok but clinical symptoms are there?

Just to add...my thyroid TSH was normal but T3 and T4 arent showing as separate levels. Previously my TSH was ok, but other levels were high...so will ask about this. Sorry for a long vent, just feeling really fed up at not having answers and being in pain. Thanks if you read this far!

Please could anyone share whether they have experienced one sided hip pain with hypothyroidism? I have really bad pain in my right hip, even when lying in bed at night; bilateral knee pain+stiffness and pain+stiffness in the bottom of my feet.

I previously had hyperthyroidism >10 years ago, resolved with treatment and was told it was a 50/50 chance that it could return or turn to hypothyroidism. I just had a baby earlier this year and was advised that this could be a trigger for thyroid issues returning, so when the pain in my knees and feet began i went for bloods but still waiting on the results.

I struggle with health anxiety and I'm worried about the hip pain - please could anyone share if you had this in one side only? It feels like it is where my leg connects to my hip.

Thanks so much in advance for any help x

*not asking for any medical advice here, just wanted to see if others have experienced anything similar postpartum before I see my Dr*

I'm 5.5 months postpartum after a c-section, my periods returned 10 weeks pp so I have had 4 periods so far. I was noticing cramping around ovulation and pretty much during the whole cycle, I asked my Dr about this at a check up and she said it's normal while things are settling back down for the first few cycles. However, I'm still experiencing cramps after my period ends and looking at my Flo app this has happened the last 3 months...does anyone else get bad period type cramps after their period ends please? Just looking to see if this can be a typical postpartum occurrence at this stage.

I've also noticed my periods last longer - this cycle I've just had a 12 day period whereas they used to be 7-9 days max.

Would really appreciate hearing others' experiences or any advice on what to do, thank you! (Note - I am seeing my Dr to get blood tests in the next couple of weeks so can ask about this then, just wanted to hear others' thoughts before I get in to talk to my Dr).

Just looking to see if anyone else experienced similar at this stage or if I'm just going through something. I feel selfish for even talking about being tired, but I really am. Husband is super helpful with things like keeping formula/nappies/wipes etc stocked, cooking dinner, and caring for baby when he can. However he works 8am-5pm, comes home and walks our dog (which i appreciate) and then usually he makes dinner (which I also hugely appreciate!) But this means I have baby from 7am pretty much right through til bedtime, and she isn't going down until 9:30-10pm since the regression hit. Sometimes I am just so wiped out from doing all of the baby duties for 14 hours+ even though she is absolutely amazing, a really happy chill baby and I love her so, so much. She sleeps pretty well in her next to me on my side of the room but stirs a lot and I'm waking multiple times a night still to soothe her, which I think adds to the tiredness. Weekends end up being more me parenting as I don't want husband to stop his hobbies after working all week, I see friends and their kids during the week so I feel its only fair that he does too.

I feel like the earlier months were a lot easier as she wasn't as aware of things, would nap more and settle easier, and I think I was running on a lot of adrenaline. I manage to shower daily but washing/drying my hair barely happens. My knees have been in constant pain when weight bearing since birth so I think I just feel physically exhausted.

I'm so sorry if it feels like this is a moaning post, I just need to know if this is normal and it gets easier? Or any tips that might help please. Thank you if you managed to read this far!

Just had a pretty bad fall in the shower, our shower screen swung and hit me full force in the mouth. My upper front tooth, the tooth next to it and upper incisor were throbbing, lots of blood from my gums around these teeth initially (stopped after 5-10 mins) and my teeth also went through my top and bottom lips which are cut and bleeding. The teeth don't feel wobbly, but feel strange, I think sort of still sore or like a swollen feeling?

Just wondering if I would need to see my dentist to check for any damage to the nerve etc., or if them looking ok means they'll heal ok? Not a drinker or a smoker, aged 32 and no existing issues except gingivitis.

Thank you for any advice!

I've always had uneven breasts since about age 18, my left has always been a bit bigger than my right. I'm now 32 and 5 months postpartum with my first baby, who is exclusively formula fed, and I've really started to notice the unevenness is even more pronounced now.

My boobs grew a lot during pregnancy so I'm not sure if it's just a case of the left staying a bit bigger, but I do have health anxiety and it's freaking me out a bit. Has anyone else had similar or know if this can be normal? I've had checks before including a breasr ultrasound in early pregnancy (due to lumps that were thankfully benign) and they didn't find anything to worry about back then. Thank you for any thoughts/advice x

My baby is 18 weeks old, and for at least 3-4 weeks now has had a little pinprick kind of rash all over her body (photo attached in the comments). The GP has taken a look and prescribed a moisturising cream as he thinks its eczema, said he isn't concerned as it's blanching ok and she seems well in herself.

She has however had lots of green mucuosy poops for over 2 weeks, which the GP said was also normal for a formula fed baby. The rash is everywhere including the backs of her ears and doesn't seem to be clearing up. Does anyone know whether this is normal for eczema or if it might be a cow"s milk protein allergy (CMPA)?

(She is EFF since birth on aptamil, gaining weight really well, no sickness). Thank you in advance x

Edited - forgot to post a photo so attached in comments.

So there's a LONG history of things that have happened with MIL, but to keep it concise she regularly talks about me and my SIL behind our backs (including to each other despite the fact we are close friends and obviously tell each other what is said). She has also repeatedly created stories about things that simply didn't happen to make me look bad, including crying to my husband and brother in law saying that my mom was really rude to her and upset her when we went out one day...I was there the entire time, we had a lovely day and my mom bought her coffee and cake, when I dropped her home she even said what a lovely day it had been. This is one of many examples.

Anyway....I'm now postpartum with our 1st baby (1st grandchild) and MIL has already crossed several boundaries. She now repeatedly talks about when she's going to look after the baby every time we see her, even though she knows I have anxiety about leaving my baby atm as she is only 3 months old and I don't feel ready. It's as if she's making it clear to us she will be doing it, whether we like it or not. We visit MIL and FIL a minimum of 3 times per week so that they can see the baby. My SIL has now told me that they told her and BIL that they never get to see the baby, they havent seen her for over a week etc which is simply not true. She's also been telling BIL shes so upset that our baby won't know her because I don't leave her with them, and now he's apparently annoyed at me. I can't bring it up to my husband as I don't want BIL to be angry with SIL for telling me. MIL is the type to cry whenever she is called out for anything and I just dont need the drama while I'm caring for my baby, but the lies are really annoying me now.

Sorry for the long rant and apologies if this is a little scrambled, I am just stressed about so many things she's done lately it's hard to put into words concisely.

My 4mo baby has been super chilled/smiley so far, naps well during the day and sleeps all night. Drinks ~5-6oz bottles 6-7 times a day and the Dr was really happy with her weight at her most recent check up. She's having plenty of wet nappies and also poopy ones, but these have been a bit looser/more mucus like than normal (sorry if tmi).

The past week she has suddenly started crying/whinging more than normal, her nose has been congested (she had a cold a few weeks ago and this doesnt seem to be following the same pattern with other symptoms), she is rubbing her eyes and nose constantly and very distracted during feeding. She's still taking a normal amount of milk per 24hrs, but its more difficult getting her to finish a bottle and shes getting frustrated during it.

FTM here, just wondering if others have known this to be a 4mo regression type experience or whether it could be due to teething...or if neither perhaps I need to keep an eye on her in case it's the start of her coming down with an illness of some sort? Thank you in advance for any thoughts/advice!
