I start my new job tomorrow and was not expecting this .. kind words and advice would be muchly appreciated.

When are you all contacting the GP regarding your pregnancy? With my first I contacted them at 5 weeks ish thinking it would be a few weeks for an appointment but they got me in the following week. They did say they don’t often take appointments under 8 weeks. Have you already contacted them yet?

Im not originally from the UK but had a call from a healthcare worker** wanting to visit our home and talk about the pregnancy. Is this normal? What is the aim of these visits? She was asking me to let her know where I am seeing a midwife which makes me wonder how she got my number. **I meant health visitor:)

I've received 2 letters one November and one February, I'm 14weeks pregnant but I'm not to sure what this is for ?

So my manager keeps rejecting my time off requests for appointments. I book them as soon as they come in. So now for example I have 4 appointments this month. I have one starting on Thursday 7th. Anti D in the morning and consultant appointment in the afternoon. He rejected it because I didn’t have proof. So today...

More pictures in comments 💕 I’m only 9DPO so I know it’s kind of early.

Has anyone else had any issues with their midwife not replying to messages? Its nothing mega urgent but my bloods I had taken on 10/09 for my first trimester appointment still aren’t back so I was messaging to check they hadn’t been lost - I did ring my surgery but they said to contact my midwife - I haven’t actuall...

Hi, is anyone under Bramley midwives and know what day they work? I’ve sent them both messages but I never get a reply! I’m looking to get my MatB1 form so it’s not serious or urgent. Thank you ☺️

12 dpo so it it too early to see? I can see a faint line but don’t know if it’s just what I want to see after trying for a long time…

How do you get to the call log and message incoming and outgoing report on the bill. Not on the phone but on the bill.

Does anyone else see anything or am I going stir crazy I've looked at it that long lol - same picture from the top but with effects on you can see it better

Does anyone get severely annoyed not showing in pregnancy? Someone asked me am I having another kid & I was like I’m already 6 months pregnant, no one can tell 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

My due date is coming up and I’m getting overwhelmed with being contacted by certain ppl. I’m trying to think what I can / should do. Get an diff phone number for a short period of time or switch to an old phone for a little while so it can only be calls and texts … any other suggestions ?

Any recs for pregnancy massages locally? I’ve had one at Champneys Henlow but found it a bit light touch. I’m 31 weeks and my lower back aches 😣

I took a clear blue digital test at CD 23, which is 3 weeks and 2 days, and it shows pregnant 2-3 weeks, which would mean I am 4-5 weeks pregnant. But I am sure I am 3 weeks and 2 days. Is this normal?

My test seems so light compared to others. Please help.

Help. I think it’s too faint

I’ve put on 7kgs since getting pregnant and currently weigh 73kg. I’m 5 ft and my feet seem to getting swollen by the end of every day from 25 weeks. Thankfully I don’t have cankles but it’s tender below my ankle bone. Any suggestions on lunches and dinner? Cheat foods would be great as my post dinner reading is a...

Can your cervical mucus actually tell you if you’re pregnant in early pregnancy?? I’ve seen people posting theirs and asking about it. I’m curious😅

I feel like some ppl have treated me so weird but there are random ppl that have been nice.
