So I'm not due on till Wednesday. I've been takimg strips test over tge weekend amd I'm convinced I've seen a faint line but wasn't convinced then tool one this morning and could barely see it tbh . Just done one now and I can see a line ? Wt do u think

So im at risk for pre e. I have been on medication and aspirin since 13 weeks. Recently I've noticed bottom nr is creeping up. Is this bad? My meds got increased the other week but haven't see much improvement. Wonder if I'll have to deliver sooner due to this!

We’re flying back to UK on Thursday and struggling to get this doctor’s note. I’m 30 weeks, just wondering if anyone else has flown wizz air at this point and been asked for the note? I’m planning to hide the bump but wanted to have the note just in case!! Trying to get through to my midwife too to see if she can pr...

14DPO and not sure. Faintest line but don't trust these tests very much as I have had quite a few indents on them. I had a twinge of pink this morning as well. Chucked my urine away before I could take another, only have a digital. Going to take again on a 3 hour hold. Any success stories with later positives ??

Hey! i was just wondering if anyone could let me know what to expect from a consultant appointment? i asked my midwife for an elective c section on Friday and shes got me booked in to see a consultant on 20th january. im a bit of a worrier and like to be prepared so i was just wondering what sort of things get asked...

I may sound stupid asking this but I’ve not had a diabetes check but when I Google gestational diabetes it says you usually get it mid pregnancy - towards the end, which I’m now 22 weeks yesterday, a lot of the signs I have read on the NHS website is what I’m having. Should I be worried ? Should I book a drs appoint...

Probably a silly question but can you get pedicures while pregnant. I’m 36 weeks and I’ve heard mixed reviews on the topic. Some say of course and I feel like I’ve seen pregnant people there before but then others say don’t let them massage your feet or do anything put paint the nails because it’ll put you into labo...

Hey ladies! Looking for doula experiences/ recommendations. Thank you! 💕

When are you mommas preparing on telling your family/friends you’re pregnant?

I’ve come to hospital with reduced movements and now they won’t let me go because I have ketones in my urine. My blood sugars are spot on. I am overweight so being diagnosed with GD has meant I’ve changed my diet. I have totally cut out sugar. Is this bad or is it just a sign that I’ve started burn fat rather than s...

I saw an advert just now for booking in a “romantic couples massage” for valentines day and am just curious how they make you feel, if anything at all!

Do I need a stamp to send it?? It doesn't say how I should send it, just gives the address 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is this a good line progression? Idk how many dpi I am as this came as a surprise. I was due for my prd on 1/8. Idk how far along I am according to my app I am 4w3d. My OB placed the blood test as stat as I would be high risk. This would be baby #3 I have 2 boys so praying for a girl lol.

Hi all, posting anonymously as we have not announced yet. Just wondering how long it usually takes for a midwife to make contact after submitting the form on the website? I submitted the form last week and didn’t get confirmation so I redid it and still nothing- is this normal? Not sure if it is worth me calling ...

I saw my midwife on the 2nd of Jan, she said my card for dental and prescriptions will be sent via email in a few days but I still haven’t got anything. Am I waiting for something in particular 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ sorry I haven’t a clue. First pregnancy. Thank you in advance

Due on period tomorrow! Should I expect a chemical!? Or is it too early for progression?

I’m not sure if you can tell at 10+4 but I’m really curious to see what others think. Is it too early to tell?

I have realised today that I never did a swab for Group B Strep, I definitely did this in my first pregnancy. I’m 37+3 today and my next midwife appointment I’ll be 39+1 (my 38 week appointment 🙄). I should definitely have done this by now right? I’m not going mad?

I know I’ve taken apart the test, it was within the time frame once the ink had settled… The glossy plastic was making it very difficult to see due to the light reflecting. Does anyone else see anything?

Am I crazy or is there a line? I’m going to retake in a few days but just want to not get my hopes up.
