Just been told results positive and high. Feel very sad and emotional about it and worried. Any tips and advice? Thanks

Just found out i’m pregnant, will be around 5 weeks based on last period. How long did it take for you to be contacted from signing up to pregnancy notes? Did they call you or just email?

For those of you taking pregnacare max will you continue to take it after 12 weeks pregnant?

Help! I don’t know whether to phone hospital or not. I’m 40 weeks tomorrow, had intense back pain and what feels like period cramps throughout the day, feels like contractions but my waters haven’t broken and haven’t lost my show. Is it worth phoning them or wait it out?

Ran out of digitals- do you think this would show 3+ on CB digital?

Y’all are gonna think I’m absolutely bonkers. But I swear on this lower test, I see a line. Please help me, every day is torture over here. I swear I start to actually see things and imagine lines that don’t exist. Top two are from yesterday and day before.

Hi Has anyone had issues getting through to the Norfolk and Norwich hospital antenatal clinic to change an appointment.

I submitted my NHS self-referral as instructed by my GP at 6 weeks. I’m now at 12 weeks and haven’t had any response. How long did you all wait to get a reply to begin your antenatal care?

I’m happy as it means I’m progressing hopefully! I’m guessing I’m 5 weeks 3 days according to Flo & Premom 👏🏽 Please stick baby! I had a MC at 8 weeks last time xx

My OB scheduled my first appt for Feb! Feels like such a long wait! Are yall going to the dr earlier or waiting as well?

Any moms experiencing/ experienced gestational diabetes?

Hi guys so am 3 days late 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m also 12 weeks postpartum I’m booked in next week for birth control, was anyone’s periods irregular after having a baby ?

Is it just me bad luck with midwives but this is my second midwife and whenever I get in touch I just don’t get a response… anyone else had this? As I don’t know what to do anymore as I think it’s bad that I’m not getting any responses, this isn’t an emergency but it could be and I wouldn’t get a response 🤷‍♀️ am I…

How long were you 3cm and 70% effaced before going into active labor? (I know every labor is different just curious!)

Anyone know of a good doula in Jax area?

Anyone 10dpo having any symptoms ? I took a test today as I couldn’t wait and it was negative but still not out. Where are all my 10dpo ladies ?

I’m going to the doctors tomorrow to request the form, anyone have experience getting one and how long it took to get it?

Hey, I got my matb1 form today and I’ve just realised it doesn’t have a due date, can I fill this in myself ? Also does it need to be stamped by the surgery or just the midwife’s registration? Thanks

I’m worried I’m gaining weight too fast. I was 9 stone 5 before pregnancy and now I’m 11 stone 2 pounds. So nearly 2 stone gain, and still 13 weeks to go. I know it’s important for the baby to grow but I don’t know if this means I should be gaining this many pounds? Does anyone have advice? Just wondering if anyone ...

What should I expect?
