Is this line too faint for 4 weeks?

Just found out yesterday that I'm "technically" prediabetic. Anyone else? Any tips? I just started phentermine today, and I'm working funds around for a gym membership. I love water, and a lot of the foods and things that are pretty bad for me are foods I don't really like anyway. Just sharing here bc I don't know ...

Recently I have had some symptoms and had to wait 4 hours to be triaged but the dr I have seen was so rude and told me off since I was quite anxious. I had contractions and I didn’t know if my symptoms would affect my baby(32 weeks). I am very upset with the service that I have received and the midwife has lost my c...

Does anyone know how involved the care team are throughout pregnancy? I’ve had my booking appointment today and I’ve been assigned my midwife and care team on badger notes but I went to school with 2 of the midwives on my care team, one of which I really don’t feel comfortable with.

I called my gp surgery, they asked me to create a badger notes account. I tried to sign up for it, but it requires a passkey given by midwife. I looked up midwifes for Newcastle areas and found some contacts on nhs website but they don’t pick up the phone and it goes into voicemail and they don’t contact back aswell.

What are your dates that helped you get the due date? Mine seem really off but wanted to get some comparisons. I’m Wondering whether the baby is just tracking small. My mum had it with all of her pregnancies because she was so sick.

Does anyone see a faint line or is it just me being delusional? X

Hello 👋 is anyone using pregnancy belt and finding it useful? I'm hoping it might help with back and hip pain when walking, but not sure if it's worth it. Would be great to hear your experience if you have tried one.

Anyone know roughly how long CAMHS referrals take at the moment?

I had my bloods taken today and my HGC level has come back as 29. That seems really low! I think I’m only 3weeks 2days

I took this yesterday and when I did my calculations, I’m 3 weeks and 2 days but the line looks kinda dark in my opinion, my last period was February 15th, could I be further along than I think I am?

Hi everyone, I have been under midwife led care for the majority of my pregnancy but was moved to consultant led care at 32 weeks due to the monitoring of pre-eclampsia. I just wondered if anyone knows whether I should expect to see the same consultant every time or if it’ll just be whoever is available? I didn’t ...

Just curious, my last midwife appointment was when I was 31 weeks pregnant. She didn’t book me anymore midwife appointments till I’m 40+4 and said if I have baby before this to just ignore the appointment. I am currently 34+2 Is it normal to not have any community midwife appointments from 31-40 weeks. I am curre...

hi! I am due at the end of May and wondering if anyone has recommendations for a part-time overnight nurse/doula? Most I’ve talked to are 24 hours or minimum 5-7 nights a week and we’d like a bit more flexibility. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all, after 3 rounds of IVF I’m a FTM of 44, pregnant with a due date of 3rd April. When I was discharged from the IVF clinic they recommended a C section and that I shouldn’t go over 39 weeks, but I’m 37 weeks tomorrow and still have no C section date from my local hospital. Having spoken to them they said I will...
