I had my glucose test last week on the 6th. When am I likely to find out my results? Will they call?

Waiting for the test results has made me a bit impatient. Does anyone have guess? 💙🩷

Hi all, This is my first time pregnancy, im 8 weeks and 6 days. I had a private scan last week everything is healthy. I’m panicking at the moment as I’m not sure what to do with dieting and foods. I have just been eating as I normally do. Is it normal to do this till you have your first midwife appointment? H...

I just went to my 36 week growth scan and it showed I had excess fluids and baby was measuring at 99th percentile and already 7Lb 14. Having to go back tomorrow to get a diabetes testing kit to monitor me for the next 7 days. In all my midwife appointments I’ve measured bang on what my gestation age is so I’m so con...

Alittle back story: my baby was born at 33 weeks and spent a month in Nicu. Besides being small she had no other concerns once she’d arrived. She was discharged with a plan to start her on an iron supplement around 4 months old. But this didn’t say why or for how long. My gp recently requested we check her bloods t...

Anyone got any predictions? This theory confuses me a little 🙈🙈

Hi! Me again! I’ve posted before about how awful and guilty I’ve felt this entire pregnancy. Well it has not gotten better. I’m still struggling and I just weighted in this morning and I’ve lost another 5 pounds despite my efforts. That’s a total of 25 lbs! 😩 I’ve tried meds, protein shakes, everything suggested…

Anyone else just uncomfortable now. I am 34 wks 3 days and I am so uncomfortable. My belly feels tight and just ready for her to be here now 😂

Hi all Looking for a bit of reassurance if you can give any! Baby’s heart rate has been around 140 at most of my appointments - had another midwife appointment today and it was only 126. I know that’s still in the normal range but the drop has got me worried! Midwife said it was fine but I don’t know if that’s just...

When did you stop sleeping on your stomach? About to hit the 2nd trimester & wanted some guidance.

Used the last of my tests, and I’ve reached 3+ at 5 weeks 2 days. So unbelievably grateful 🤍

You are pregnant ?

So, this might be totally disgusting and some of you will probably judge me hard but, if I’m being honest, I think I’ve washed my hair all of about 5 times during the first trimester (currently 11 weeks and 4 days) it’s just not been the top of my list and if I’m being honest, I’ve mostly been rotting in bed so who ...

This is my first pregnancy. I am 20 weeks and I can’t stop worrying!!!! I’m not feeling a lot of movement and having awful dreams about my unborn baby. I don’t really feel like I have much support from my antenatal department as when I text/email my midwife she doesn’t respond. Does anyone have any advice to stop th...

Guesses anyone??🤦🏾‍♀️I won’t know until delivery day just curious what others think when it comes to the nub Theory..I’m new to this

Hi everyone, I’m feeling really anxious that I haven’t felt anything yet and wondered how many people are in the same position. I know they say that it can take up to 24 weeks but I’m so worried that I’ve not felt anything yet and something might be wrong. Is/was anyone else in the same boat?

My baby had a reaction and we've had to call the ambulance and go to A&E Scariest moment of my life. But all is well now. Wondering if the same happened to anyone ?

Is anyone still struggling with sickness/nausea? I’m 15+1 now and I still am sick at least once a day and feel sick a lot.

Is anyone else getting worried about there baby getting a cold or ill or a temp I’ve all of a sudden become very anxious of my baby getting ill x

Hey lovelies, I have a private gender scan this weekend, on the phone they said to drink something sugary beforehand to make the baby move around a bit more, just wondering if anyone knows what I should drink? I’ve tried to cut out caffeine so I haven’t had a coke in ages! xxx
