I had an ectopic pregnancy early September, still no period, when do they come back ? Is it just different for everyone? Tia

Feel like I’m out for the month. 10dpo today, AF due in 5 days. 6 day early negative test this morning and BBT has dropped this morning 😢💔

Aetna pos ii or ppo? We are on the fence if we will decide to have another baby this upcoming year, but I just want to be prepared for anything. What are your thoughts?

Do you guys see it? Or am I crazy! Update: I’m 1 day late about to be 2 after today! I don’t know when I ovulated because I just got off bc a month ago.

I’ve been testing every day since CD 6 and I’m on CD 18 and still nothing. There was one surge at .39 but that’s it.

So i am almost 5weeks. I contact my gp last week to be registered with a midwife and did the self-referral form for the hospital. Today i was sick of waiting so i called the gp first and they said the midwife there won’t see me until i am 16 weeks, then i called the hospital and they said they never received my form...

Hi everyone, hoping someone here was paying more attention than I was. I have been prescribed Metformin for GD today as I can no longer keep it diet controlled. There was a bit of drama getting the prescription but sorted it all out now, only problem is my diabetic midwife rang me at work and I was doing 5000 thing...

Hi All! I was told on Thursday I have GD, but I don’t have an appointment until 6th Nov. I have no idea what this means for me, what can I eat/can’t I eat etc. Has anyone got any top tips for me for the next two weeks? So worrying!! 😣

I’ve just had a call and been told I have Low Papp-A but the call it self was very “brush over y” and I was told I might get more scans but we’ll see at my 20w scan. I’m 13w+3, all the other results came back as low for downs/Edwards etc. I just don’t fully understand what Low PAPP-A is and the impact/what I can d...

I think I am possibly 9DPO and thought it’d test incase I got my dates wrong. The thin line came up within 5 minutes but the rest of it was about 8 minutes after that. I’ve had evaps before but never anything this strong and never seen a dye run like that before! I’m pretty sure it’s an evap but have too guys seen...

Hi, I work in a mental health facility and I had to administer rapid tranquiliser but some of my colleagues thought it was wrong me giving it as I am pregnant. Patient was held by 5 people at the time. No mention about rapid tranq in my risk assessment. What are your thoughts?

Has anyone been referred for physio and had contact from them or being told how long the wait is? Midwife referred me a couple of weeks ago and my pelvic pain is just getting worse, really struggling to get out of bed the last few days 😔

I went to my weekly appointment, and my obgyn told me last week that I’ll be starting cervical checks from 37 weeks . Came to my appointment today with midwife and she refused to do it and told me she won’t do it until 40 weeks…… Is this normal?

Does anyone have a doula? I wanted one for my first pregnancy and I never found someone I connected with. This time, I found someone however she is not going to be available during my due date. She is connecting with other doulas in her network but I feel like I am so close to my due date and not sure if its right f...

Hey ladies, I found out 2 days back that Im pregnant and I do have an appointment with my family doctor on Monday. Do we have to go through our family doctor or contact midwife directly?
