I have my glucose tolerance test next week and when getting booked in, the receptionist told me I shouldn’t brush my teeth beforehand.

Saw the GP this afternoon who prescribed aptamil pepti 1 for suspected CMPA. Little one has had one feed a couple of hours ago and has spent the last hour screaming crying trying to pass wind and poop. Is this to be expected with the sudden formula change? The GP told me to do a straight swap and didn’t mention ...

Just some reassurance for anyone awaiting a cesarean, whether it's your first or a repeat. I'm sat at home, 54 hours post op with my baby boy and my toddler cuddled up to me. It was honestly such a calm, straight forward experience (my first was an emergency after long failed induction). I was up and walking ok as ...

Has anyone had their glucose test come back as elevated? I’m 26 weeks and just got my results back, slightly elevated. I have to get another test (3 hours this time).
