Hi all, I just found out I’m pregnant, 4 weeks today! Is it too early to start prepping and buying items? I guess a better question is where is best to start for research on best products, etc.?

I had a growth scan at 34 weeks today. The baby’s AC is measuring at 38 weeks 2 days, and so they want me to have a gestational diabetes test (I didn’t have one previously as I didn’t meet the criteria / there were no risks flagged). Just wondering if this is normal? Has anyone else experienced something like this? ...

I have my nhs booking appointment next week in my local hospital but I have really bad social anxiety and I’m feeling really nervous about meeting my midwife for the first time. I hate talking and it is a 1 hour appointment. What exactly can I expect from this appointment?

one of the signs of my miscarriage was hcg not progressing normally so just would love some reassurance. How does this progression look? I feel like the 2nd is darker than the 1st but is that too light for 13DPO?

Please no judgement. Sometimes I crave and give in to chocolates as a snack and feel guilty after. My GD is diet controlled at the moment but I do have a sweet treat here and there. Is this going to harm my babe when blood sugar spikes say during sweet snacks?

I thought I would get 3+ now but it’s still 2-3 today and it’s making me panic! Anyone else still on 2-3?

Is anyone else getting stressed about calling midwife’s, I’m 37 weeks with my second and I’ve tried calling maldon to book and antenatal because my drs doesn’t have anything till I’m 39 weeks, I’ve tried calling WJC birthing unit to try and book either a viewing or at least talk to them about having baby there. I al...

Getting so worked up of seeing no second line. Just tired of wasting pregnancy tests everyday. I keep getting shooting breast pain on and off, and I’ve noticed creamy discharge. I do not want to look into it too much. TIRED OF THR LET DOWNS .

11 DPO today and I believe it’s a positive 🥰🥳

9 dpo I think I can see something but not sure It might be too early

Hi, I’m going along to the early pregnancy unit to have a check up due to heavy bleeding, I have my 4 month old daughter who is ebf do you think it would be ok for my husband and daughter to come along and wait in the waiting area? I’ve just suddenly thought it might not be appropriate?? What are your thoughts x

How early did you guys let family and friends see your baby after being in the NICU? She was in the NICU for 75 days and she’s been out and at home for a week now and I told everyone to give her 4 weeks to get adjusted at home. Is that reasonable or should it be longer? What are you guys thoughts?

I was due on 3 days ago. Is this line strong enough?

Has anyone else had high numbers for like a week before? If so, did anything come of it?

Please tell me I’m not going crazy 🥹 did anyone else get a faint line like this 9Dpo?!

I am only 9DPO and I feel like I see a second line! Idk if it’s line eyes?! Let me know what you think!

I’m only 9DPO and I swear I see a second line!!! Is it just line eyes?

Hi anyone been diagnosed with diabetes after the 28 week fasting bloods? JUST worried as I've had date for my fasting bloods. I absolutely fine with daughter. But it's been 15 yrs, and age isn't on my side as I keep getting reminded.

I just got diagnosed last week and I'm still trying to come to terms with it. I've already cut out stuff like cakes and biscuits and trying different foods as my first reading yesterday was over target. Anyone else going through this? Meal ideas are greatly appreciated🙏

Does anyone know how long it takes to get your 85% back feel like I’ve been waiting forever how long does /should it take
