So I was looking at my pregnancy notes today after my midwife appointment and it’s said “Engagement 4/5” does anyone know what it means?I know it means baby’s engaged, but why does it say 4/5?

Numbers are DPO, so from 12 to 18 DPO! The reason it’s in a collage w iPhone writing is cause all of these pictures were taken within 5 minutes!

Anyone here in Bristol that is sending their LO to nursery for 2 days a week and is also using the 15 hours from the government? Just wondering what your monthly fee is like.

Hi all, I’m a secondary school teacher and I’ve been off work since 6 weeks due to HG. I’m going back to work on a reduced timetable on Monday when I’ll be 13+5 I was wondering when you told your classes/when you’re planning on telling your classes you’re pregnant?

I took this with my morning wee this morning and a faint line shown up pretty much straight away. I didn’t even have to wait. Can anyone else see it or is it just me? I’m 9dpo and I’m supposed to be due in 6 days. These tests are 6 days earlier ones

Hi everyone, i have my 16 week midwife appointment on tuesday coming up can anyone tell me what to expect please? x

Can someone tell me why my LH level says “Peak” but my T/C ratio says “Low” (picture in the comments) I’m so confused and which one is actually accurate?

Ladies am I just seeing a very faint line I wish to see or can anyone else see it? We’ve been TTC for 3 years since having our first!

I'm 6-9 dpo not 100% sure but is this a peak or positive? I just took another waiting for it to finish will post in comments

This is my first time misplacing my ebt card. If I go to the building can I get a replacement same day ?

Anyone else have to wait till january for their first appointment ill be 10/11 weeks by then.

Had unprotected on the 3rd and 10th…. Is it still too early to tell?

I don’t know if this is a stupid question or not, however who am I supposed to call and when? People say if you’re concerned to “call your midwife” how do I do this? Where can I find my midwife’s number? Is it for just one midwife or the whole team in my area? Honestly not a clue 😂

How many women in this group have also had their baby already?!

I’ve had several negative experiences at my OB office and today was sort of the last straw and I officially want to switch. I called the clinic I’d like to switch to and they do accept late pregnancies (yay!) My only question (that the lady didn’t know the answer to) is, we’ve already paid in full the first OBs fe...
