I guess it’s because my hands are too cold but it’s winter!!! It makes me want to throw the device in the bin and give up. I stopped measuring for a whole week after doing 4 pricks and still getting an error message.

Why is anxiety so cruel! I’m due to go on my first plane in 2 weeks and I can’t breath thinking about it. How will I cope if I have a panic attack? And what if I’m that scared to when I arrive at my destination , I won’t get back on the plane and I get stuck in that country? I don’t want to take medication for it b...

For the last few weeks at my midwife scans and baby scans I’ve been getting high readings for blood pressure which I’m sure is linked to when I have terrible sleeps, for example last night I slept for 3 hours then I was awake from 130am. Today my home readings have been high. Sometimes my blood pressure is about ...

Can anyone give me advice, I’m on like day 11 of my first period, is that bad? Anyone else had that experience too? I don’t really like ringing the doctors for anything so thought I’d try here first x

I already have 2 under 2 the youngest is 12 weeks. However, my period is late and I have bought tests so just waiting on them being delivered. I am honestly a wreck at the thought of another one, I really hope my body is playing a trick on me. I don’t think I would cope with another. Has anyone ever been in the same...

I had my GTT this morning. Just wondering how long it takes to get the results back and whether they call me or I just need to check the NHS app? Helpfully I was told to fast from 10pm by my midwife and then this morning they said from 8pm so expecting it may have to be redone but fingers crossed the result will b...

Hi! Anyone knows how kit days are paid? Weekly or monthly? Considering that I’m that period where I’m not getting OMP or SMP. Thanks

Do they go by when your blood was collected or when it was received? Bc on my app for the NIPT they tell me when it was collected 2-6-25

Hi! After how many weeks do people tell their work about the pregnancy?

Don’t know what I’m looking at 🩷🩵

I had a blood test the other day because I've been suffering with really low energy so they were checking my iron levels. I haven't spoken to a dr yet but I've just checked on the NHS app and my results have come back to say I have a high white blood count. After some goggling I'm a bit worried it might be pre-eclam...

Have anybody taking metronidazole 500mg twice a day during they pregnancy. If so how many weeks were you. I keep seeing good and bad things

Hey guys, My doctor's office hasn't contacted me about the results yet, but does this mean I passed? My 1-hour and 2-hour tests were within the normal range, but my number was exactly 139, so I'm not sure.

I'm almost 30 weeks and I have kept saying to my partner after my 12 week scan I'll feel more excited, then after my 20 week I will. But I haven't felt excited at all. We've wanted this for so long and been trying for so many years. But now I just feel so detached from it all. I feel like because of this I'll be a...

Help me out i am wallowing and finding myself in a self inflicted pit of self pity.... I have gained like 11kg in the 21 weeks I have been pregnant and can not believe it....
