Was diagnosed with GD last week, had my first appointment at the diabetic clinic today only to end up in A+E because I passed out in the waiting room... Blood pressure was extremely low and heart rate was extremely high, this baby will be the death of me at this rate 🤦♀️😂😂😂
What do u know about chemical pregnancy ?
I’m pretty sure I saw a post about someone mentioning this as well - but I can’t seem to find that anymore so making a post of my own! I received this mesaage and find it really odd that my number was requested almost immediately. And when I responded - she disappears? Any thoughts?
I've got my first consultant appointment on Monday, it's been over 8 years since I last had a baby so can't remember what it'll be like. For anyone that's already seen their consultant, what did they do? I'm feeling so anxious about it for no reason 😫
So I realized my nurse put my last day of my period in incorrectly. I told her about spotting for three days on September 12 but that my last period was the 5 of September. My current due date is June 22 which doesn’t add up to my last period. I’ve mentioned it when going into the ER before and they said if it’s clo...
After trying for 10 cycles, could this be it? 11dpo and no symptoms... I'm shaking
Hello ladies, first time Mom here due next month💙I have done a calculator online to see if I am entitled to any help whilst on SMP and they said I can apply. For anyone who has done this, did you apply once baby was born or beforehand? Also, how long did a decision take?
I had a miscarriage in February so chucked all my paperwork as I just didn’t want anything pregnancy related near me at that point and now regretting it Lo and behold I’m pregnant again and trying to access my records. I know they will probably send me letters with the phrase but I am trying to plan around peak ti...
First time mom and feel like I have not been enjoying pregnancy, it started with my herniating a disc in my back and I feel like I’ve had every symptom under the sun. Yesterday, I just found out I failed my 3 hour glucose test and have to monitor blood sugar levels. I know that it will be worth it in the end but I a...
Hi I’m currently in the assessment unit as my blood pressure is well too high and I’m cramping, I actually called them 8am this morning as I can’t walk as I’m in pain all on my left side and back and they tried to say it was a water infection and to not worry it’s normal. Called my midwife at 1 in agony and she w...
What are some must have done 2 weeks before baby’s arrival ?
Can anyone see a line? It caught quite a lot in one spot when it was processing and now I've convinced myself I can see a line!
So I am almost 31 weeks and just had a pretty negative experience with my OBGYN. I don’t feel relationally safe with her anymore and was thinking that a midwife would be a better fit for me and my birth plan anyways… In order to switch practices I can’t get an appointment until I’m 33 weeks, plus I have to see a do...
Was hoping this month would be the month but looks negative to me. Keep trying to convince myself there’s a faint line but don’t want to get my hopes up
So I am venting a little. I’m not super happy with how my OBGYN office has been handling me financially. My third visit the ladies who handle insurance told me I owed over $400 for a vaginal birth starting from THEN till July. When I told them I didn’t have that right then, they kept asking me when will I have it....
