  Your Top Pregnancy Questions
I am 25 weeks pregnant and for the last 2 days, my baby has been far more active. Up until now, the baby's movements were limited to night time but now I can feel them on and off all day/night - is this normal?
During my first pregnancy last year I was diagnosed with having obstetric cholestasis.  Could you recommend a specialist in this area or a consultant who deals specifically with liver disorders during pregnancy.

I am just wondering with a missed miscarriage what the likely hood of the baby passing itself is or would I have to have a D&C? Also would I still feel pregnant or would all my symptoms have disappeared?

I had an ectopic pregnancy in October.  Is there a test that can be done to check if my other fallopian tube is working and not blocked?
I am 7 weeks pregnant and am eating very healthily but I don't eat any fish.Iif I managed fish once a week would it be enough for the baby or should I take some kind of fish supplement?
I am fifteen weeks pregnant and will be having a scan at sixteen weeks, it will be my second baby. Is it too soon to fine out the sex of baby at sixteen weeks?
I am 27 weeks pregnant and desperately trying to stay off the cigarettes is it worse to wear the patch than to smoke?
How will you know if your waters have broken as opposed to leakage?
I’m a little concerned about my given due date. As I had just come off the pill and hadn't accomplished a natural regular cycle before I got pregnant I’m confused as to when my actual date is.
I gave birth nearly 5 weeks ago and breastfed for 3 days. It then became clear that my son required top up formula after an hour on the breast. I noticed over the last few days that I am leaking colostrum, should my breasts not have stopped producing after this time?
