I have high blood pressure (being monitored weekly) and the risks are making me extremely worried about my baby making it or about having issues during birth, especially after previous losses.

I'm 40 weeks in a couple days and have had zero signs of labor. Not even braxton hicks. Baby still moving around plenty. I'm a FTM so I know it's common to go over term. Has anyone else had a easy end of pregnancy? The general consensus ive gotten from family and friends is how awful it gets towards the end. I don't...

I got my diabetes test tomorrow 9am and I'm a little nervous I don't know how I'm going to feel I've read people feeling sicky and also lately if I leave it too long to eat I feel dizzy and I don't want to feel like that I'm having a banana now before 12am. I can drink as much water as I want? Also the wait seems so...

Slightly off topic but has anyone had an early gender blood test and it’s been wrong?

I feel full of so much rage sometimes and then I snap at people around me and then I get hysterically upset because I know I’m being so horrible but can’t control it. I feel so unstable with the hormones and emotions right now!

I think i may be having a girl for baby #2 this first trimester has been so much easier than before for me!

I've been taking these since 6 weeks pregnant and I'm unsure when I should stop them before labour begins.. I'm worried that I'll take the dose of fragmin and then a few hours later I'm in labour.

Do you count your babies' age by weeks (8 weeks = 2 months) or by months on the day they were born (21st July to 21st August)??

This pregnancy my emotions are crazily heightened… I’ve had a really teary couple of days, like balling my eyes out!!!! Is anyone else finding this? I’m finding it really hard to control 🥹

Is anyone else still waiting on their blood test results from the booking appointment? Or got them back a little later than expected? It’s been over 2 weeks and I still haven’t heard anything 🤔

Just wondered if you get tested for diabetes in every pregnancy, how to they know to test you, when would you be told you need a test and what stage? First time pregnancy sorry if this is a silly question.
