Hey, I’ve got my 16 week appointment booked in but it’s a Sunday. I’ve tried ringing to query this several times but no answer. Can anyone shed light on if this is correct?!

So basically I’m 34 weeks tomorrow and today I’ve been having abit of pressure and baby girl feeling. Quite low, is this normal ? I’m saying. She’s not going to stay put. Till April but I don’t want her here this soon any advice? Other half already stopped me from any lifting at all so taking it easy anyways. Anyone...

For those who have got gestational diabetes, how long did it take for them to tell you after the test? I know no news is good news but my badger note results NEVER get updated.

I’m struggling at the moment, fatigue, headache, dizzy just want to lay down. I’ve got a GP appt today and I’m hoping they sign me off work so I’m left alone and not expected to just wfh. Is it cheeky to ask to be signed off? Has anyone asked and they’ve said no?

Hi, I’m just wondering if anyone has tried the sneak peak gender blood tests from 6 weeks and if they was accurate for you? I’m really impatient to find out the gender but don’t want to waste money if they aren’t accurate☺️

Has anyone tried one? I’ll be 6 weeks in a few days and my first appointment isn’t until I’m 8 weeks but I want to try it.

This pregnancy kicking my ass. I’m 36w0d today with fever and I’ve dialeted 1cm already so this girl is not wasting much more time and the back and pelvic pain is growing more and more. I’m due March 26, do you guys think I will last til then ?? I really don’t want a Pisces baby 🤣🤣😭😭 anyone started dialating early…

Hi ladies, this might sound like a silly question. I had a mc on 7th Feb, I bled for 6 days. Am I coming up to week 3 of my mc or week 2? I know with pregnancy, you mention the FIRST day of your last period, so a bit confused. Trying to work out ovulation and when I would expect my period.

So I just found out my sister is also pregnant and we are a week apart. Im sorry to say but I’m quite annoyed. She makes everything about her. When I got married she kept reminiscing about her wedding. Now she will make this pregnancy all about her! Am I wrong for feeling this way?

Are lashes safe to get done when pregnant, has anyone had them done or not? The advice is very wishy washy. Some say yes some say no…?

I’m 35 weeks tommorrow and really struggling with severe upper tightening in the stomach. It got so bad last night that I almost called triage it was taking my breath away, I know it can’t be labour because I haven’t had a bloody show or waters breaking but the umcomfort and tightness is immense. Has anyone else ex...

I am currently pregnant with my second due October 2025, had anyone done the gender Blood Test with their first or second? What was your experience? Did you get the right result? Thank you

About 8/9 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and the HG has been absolutely horrific. Also hate waiting for a date the 1st scan so bad …. I am so inpatient. I’ve also very weirdly lost the ability to control my own body temperature and I am always cold the only way to get warm is in the bath 🥶

Sooo.. my little one has just turned 12 months and I had my first cycle since before I got pregnant with him.. and got pregnant in that cycle 😂 we were hoping to start trying in September so this is a bit of a surprise. I just need some reassurance that everything will be ok really! Wasn’t ready for this 😂 after…

I’ve seen people posting using Frida tests. How does everyone like them? What’s the earliest you’ve gotten a vvvfl or BFP? Thinking about ordering some

There’s a trip I might make during my second trimester. I have pretty bad flight anxiety. I know flying while pregnant in the second trimester is generally safe, but I’m worried the stress and anxiety I experience during the flight (2 hours) will affect my baby. Anyone have any experience of this they can share?

so my so called boyfriend made a comment saying “if that baby makes you lose all that weight ill pay for your skin surgery.” if hurt me so bad bc he is making it seem like im a huge whale. i never felt beautiful around him and that comment just make me feel so much more worse about myself. im 17 weeks pregnant

Hey, just a quick one. I know all hospitals are different etc. But I'm just wondering how long it took everyone to get their results of the 2 hours glucose testing? Thanks 😊

Ugh does anyone else have a return of terrible, all day nausea. This is worst than 1st trimester!!!

Has anyone ever been refused service of having their hair dyed due to postpartum hair loss? I’ve called the stylist and told her I’m having some hair loss and she is going to have a look at it today and do a patch test if she thinks it’ll be okay to dye it. I booked this in the beginning of January but it only start...
