Hi! I really want to study midwifery at University . I have two children who are ages 3 and 21 months . I was wondering if anyone on here can give me insight to what I could potentially expect if I do this degree especially because I have children. When do placements start?

Is there anyone who would be able to help me look at a test ?

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and was given an appointment for the midwife for 17th Feb, I called when I got the app as I'll be over 12 weeks and I read there were blood tests they need to do before 10 / 12 weeks. Today, I've had a cancellation and can't seem to get hold of anyone to get a new app booked. I'm meant to be u...

6 days until I'm due, I'm positive I can see a line but it's so faint I'm double guessing myself

I'm booked in to go to a spa, I'm aware I won't be able to use the sauna or steam room. But I'm now worried about the hydrotherapy pool. Has anyone else been to a spa whilst pregnant? It says on the website the spa can be used between 14 and 36 weeks pregnant. And I am 15 weeks. Thanks

This is my second pregnancy but I didn't have GD last time. Last baby was induced at 38w as he had stopped growing and was small. I am on max dose of Metformin and now have to take evening insulin to try to control my fasting blood sugar (as Metformin didn't work). We are moving house in the next few weeks and I'm ...

Is this an evap? 10 Dpo Af due in 5 days.

I see a really faint line.... anyone else see it ?🥹

Tested this morning and line came up within 3 minute time frame. Had a chemical last month with a similar faint line so worried this month is going to be the same 😢. Would expect it to be stronger at 14dpo

Is this an evap line? Also took another test as well, picture in comments below AF not due for another 5 days

Hi all, Earlier this week I went for a 34 week growth scan and turns out baby girls tummy is > 95th percentile and therefore they are worried I have GD. I didn’t do the test at 28 weeks cause I wasn’t asked to cause I’m low risk and didn’t meet any of the risk factors. Now I have to test my blood glucose levels 4 t...
