9dpo so very early..

9 DPO was negative this picture is 10 DPO Can you see a line? Tested today 11 DPO and it’s the same as yesterday so if you see it too, when should it start going darker? (Worried it’s a chemical pregnancy)

Hey girls please help me out or advise! I don’t have a gp at the moment so I haven’t been able to have my midwife appointments but I’ve had my hospital ones and now have a family nurse (techianlly midwife that comes round)so do I still need a midwife/gp ? I’m 19+3 weeks

So I’m currently 36 weeks and got diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 35 weeks my levels are really and I can’t seem to get them down I’m eating fruit and vegetables and drinking loads of water can anyone give me any tips on how to get it down

Since my miscarriage in November I have had 35,22,23 and 18 day cycles. I’m currently on day 26 of this cycle. Premom says I should be due on today but Flo says 3 more days till I’m due on. Which is more accurate?

I found out I was pregnant Wednesday. I have had a package booked in for months as a Mother’s Day treat including a Swedish back and neck massage. Can I have a massage within my first trimester? I’ve also had 3 miscarriages and reading conflicting information online

Hey! Has anyone dealt with anemia during pregnancy? I found out this week that my iron is really low and they diagnosed me with anemia. I’m not really sure what this means or how to manage it. They put me on a daily medication and if that doesn’t work then they’ll be doing iron infusions at the hospital. I also fail...

How on earth does anyone do this without their partner and do it comfortably?!? I can’t bloody reach 🤣🤣🤣

I had a GGT appointment last month, didn’t get a call back so that means everything’s good. But today for my 28 weeks appointment with my midwife, she couldn’t see the results on her screen. Requested me to go to the hospital for bloods, only to be told i have diabetes and there was a “system error” they couldn’t re...

Has anyone been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, particularly later on in pregnancy (35 weeks +), but still managed to have a vaginal birth with no issues? I’ve just been told I have GD at 36 weeks, everything else in my pregnancy has been normal up till now, even at my last midwife appointment 20days ago my u...

Just wondering when other twin moms went into labour, midwife tells me 60% chance of twins coming earlier than my c section date. I keep having loads of pressure down there as if something is about to pop 😂 or I’m about to wee but luckily no signs of Labour yet.

Is anyone else feeling a bit frustrated with the maternity care to date? I’ve not seen my assigned midwife once so far due to sickness or annual leave, not sure if that is effecting the level of care I’m receiving or if it’s normal. My NHS trust (who I actually also work for!) uses the BadgerApp and it seems to have...

So I've been doing 7 days blood sugar monitoring. My fasting blood sugar readings gave been high but the past 2 days they have been absolutely fine. I've been told I'm being put on metformin because of the slightly raised fasting blood sugar results but it doesn't make any sense to me. The rest of the results are fi...

Did everyone do there birth plan at their 36 week midwife appointment? Even for 2nd pregnancy’s?

Thank you all for you input in advance ❤️

Does anyone know how long it takes from signing up to getting a midwife booking appointment? Haven’t heard anything yet after a few days

Husband said he can’t see another line but I swear I see something

Hi Ladies, I could use a sounding board... I got diagnosed late around 36 weeks after they did a random blood test at 35 weeks and found higher resting rate sugar levels. Likely because I had a meal or something before coming to the hospital. I just got the blood test kit last week and been measuring it 2hrs afte...
