How many dpo did people see the 2-3 weeks on there clear blue please ?

After 5 minutes, I saw the "shadow" It's hard to get a picture, but it shows up on inverts. This was a FRER 6-day early test. I'm on 9dpo, so not got my hopes up.

Hi all! I'm 23 weeks pregnant, flying solo, and starting to think about labour + delivery support. I'll be giving birth at the Maison de Naissance Jeanne-Mance with a midwife, but have had recommendations to have a doula. Any suggestions? Preference would be for someone anglophone/bilingual. Many thanks!

I got a check up at my OB’s today , and was told my cervix was almost completely thinned out & that I was already 1.5cm dilated. My OB did a membrane sweep while she was in there checking my cervix . . . How long should I expect to have my baby?! My due date is Nov 20th 😭😭

would you consider the second LH strip to be high or low? today it is very much lower than yesterdays. is it normal for them to fluctuate between light and dark?

Is this real? Showed up almost immediately 🥹

Hi everyone Horrendous PGP can’t even get out of bed, 38 weeks pregnant and midwife had said to now try the above, I know it can transfer to baby and make her sleepy but has anyone got advice on if I should try taking it for some relief 😢😢

would you say this is for sure positive?

Has anyone ever had the community midwife not turn up for the 5 days baby check ?? On Monday when the midwife came out she said someone will be out on Thursday to do 5 days checks, I have waited all day and nobody has turned up, I have tried to ring the 2 numbers I have for them but I don't get any answers. I don't...

Does anyone know if it’s still only 1 person allowed to your midwife appointments? Thanks in advance x

Anyone recommend any good places to have a massage whilst pregnant?? 😜

Now having had the midwife use a Doppler on me, I’m glad I never bought my own, took her (a trained professional) about 5 whole mins to find baby and goodness me i think I’d go into cardiac arrest if that happened to me at home alone

This is my second pregnancy with GD. The first time round I was so stringent and found it relatively ok. This time round I’m struggling, all I crave is sugar, I’m struggling organising the right food with working and a 15 month old. I need a kick up the bum!!! Also if anyone can recommend nice options for breakfast ...

Ugh temp drop the last 2 days :/ not even going to bother testing at this point unless I’m late

Does anyone think this line progression is ok? I’m 4+ 5 weeks and the anxiety is at an all time high. Would you expect it to be very dark by now? Anyone have any similar situations that they would be happy to share?

Had my second conversation through Ft and I’m Not sure yet if I’m feeling it. She does seem very informative but just having someone I barely know there idk if I should.

Did anyone do the membrane sweep during pregnancy? How was it?

Currently in the hospital I'm 3cm. Praying for a safe delivery 🙏

ive explained on my pregnancy notes app about my symptoms and my mental health and she has already got me an appointment for 6 weeks and i dont feel like thats normal , my last pregnancy i didnt have my appointment till like 10/11 weeks

Looking for people’s experiences with their consultant appointment. Had mine today at 32 plus 1, I’m consultant led but haven’t seen a consultant up until this point which I’m not sure if that’s normal as this is my first baby. I waited over 2 hours for the phone call for the consultant to then ask me why I was ha...
