Hello! Anyone had baby measuring on the bigger side and not had gestational diabetes? Our baby’s belly was measuring 97th percentile and I’m having a glucose tolerance test now on friday. Really hoping I don’t have it as it will effect the plans I had for birth…

Came up within time frame, BFP or indent?

I know super early and this line came up in the time frame, just worried about indents?

So I’ve just found out I’m pregnant and I have no clue when I’m due. Test says 1-2 weeks I have pcos and very unusual periods. Last one was 14th of Feb and on cycle day 37

I think it's due to the fact of a quick birth with my first and low birth weight

29 weeks pregnant today🤰🏻baby girl is the size of a pomelo🥹11 weeks to go 😆symptoms this past week have included anxiety, pelvic girdle pain, round ligament paint, pressure, lower back pain, tiredness, acid reflux, insomnia, cravings, swollen ankles and reduced movements😫this week I’ve got two upcoming…

Can someone recommend an app which have good workout plans for pregnant women? I’m confused sometimes what I should avoid and what is good to focus on in each trimester.

Are we meant to see the midwife more often at the end? I saw her last week at 32+1 and I’m not seeing her again until 36 weeks and then 39 weeks. Surely she should be seeing me every 2 weeks until baby is here?

I know our babies are already one, but I wanted people’s opinions. My baby girl is very healthy, but I originally had a February due date and delivered 3 weeks early as my water broke gave birth in January at 37 weeks exactly. I know 37 weeks is considered term but especially since this was my first I find it weird ...

I have mine and my son's midwife discharge appointment tomorrow. I've written a list of any points I want to raise, but in general is there anything you recommend mentioning or going through in this appointment please? 🙂

Anyone else had a GD diagnosis? I had mine 2 weeks and really struggling with all the regulations over diet/ constant blood sugar checks. What are others experiences for those who have it?

Anyone else been told they have polyhydramnios after 36 weeks ? What was the advice or treatment or options afterwards?

My toddler has chicken pox! My mum said I had them already (I must have been too little to remember) do I need to contact gp/midwife immediately or can it wait til my next midwife appointment on Tuesday to mention it? (I’m 28 weeks now)

Hii, so I have my first midwife appointment at my GP tomorrow, this is my actual midwife you know the one we get assigned to at our 12 week appointment? They’re known as a community midwife, I had one booked for my last pregnancy too but unfortunately didn’t get to go to it. So if anyone has had this I want to ask...

Do I have line eyes or am I seeing something ?

With my son I just saw the midwife. But after him I had 5 miscarriages so they've put me on consultant led care. First appointment 7th April. Not sure what to expect.

Wondering about the bottom 4 line progression from yesterday to today? 13-14 dpo! I’m testing wandfo and Premom which are different sensitivities. Wondering if I should get betas drawn

I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 37+1. What did you eat and drink? And what was your birth experience? Im feeling so overwhelmed and in the dark by the midwife’s.

So I’m 4+4 today and 21dpo. A week ago I got my 1-2 and now all of a sudden I’m 3+! Does this make sense? I only tested to see my 2-3 😂

Anyone here been identified to have gestational diabetes in 16 weeks of pregnancy and can share their experience (what to expect,how did they control, any tips)?
