12dpo mid day wee and hydrated oops

I have already had my peak and I am 3 days away from AF so what could be causing the darker result ? These are from yesterday and today

Hi all! How far was you gone when you got a midwife?? I filled an online form out 7 days and haven’t heard anything? I’m only 6 weeks 1 day but wasn’t sure when I should get one?

Today I got my booking appointment and I will be 10+4 weeks at the appointment. I read online that the booking appointment should be before 10 weeks? 🤔 Any thoughts? Is it worth phoning the maternity services back or is this normal. Anyone else in the same boat? TIA 😊

It’s my first pregnancy since then, I was about 16 weeks if I remember correctly. My booking appt is next week, would I need to tell the midwife?

The lab have said they will use my day 5 4bc over my day 6 5ab. I mc with my first which was a 5aa and have my rainbow baby from my 4bb. Trying to not get caught up by grades. Anyone have joy with a 4bc?

I applied for WIC over the phone 2 weeks ago and been waiting for an interview call like they said, didn’t hear anything yet so I decided to call today and ask. And the lady told me that I’m on a waiting list for my interview which is gonna be on March 31st but if people cancel they will call me sooner 😵‍💫😵‍💫 is…

Hi mommas Any recs on books to read during pregnancy? I am into self help and psychological thrillers but would like to read something pregnancy or post partum related. Thanks ☺️

Been “not trying” for 4 months now. I’ve never thought I’ve seen a vfl before so it could just be line eyes? I’m around 9dpo I believe and this was not taken with first morning pee (didn’t have a test at the time sadly) I will test again tomorrow with fmp but wanted to see if I was crazy about seeing a line???

Has anyone struggled to get an appointment to register Baby's birth? I keep checking online but it says unable to find an appointment

I chased last week but still haven't heard. Debating whether I should chase again?! Mindful of sounding really impatient/annoying but equally it's been 5 weeks since I put my referral in now...

Has anyone else had a baby that is measuring below average but a bump that is measuring huge? I am being sent for the glucose test. Not sure what to think...

I’m scheduled to have my first midwife appointment and it says that I need to allocate 1.5 hours for this. In this appointment, we will discuss my family healthy history, care plan, birth plan, etc. What helpful questions do you usually ask? This is my first pregnancy so I’m not really sure what to ask and what to...

Does anyone’s partners go with them to midwife appointments? My partner wants to come to my next one with me (31 week) he’s been working when all my other ones have been, but is it normal for the fathers to come too?😂or would the midwife think it was weird?

Is this normal? I am with UCLH and my pregnancy with complications. My doctor said she requested it and they will send a date through the app...is been already 3 weeks and I am still waiting

Hi, I would like to join pregnancy yoga/pirates or similar group in Croydon area. Would be great if anyone has some suggestions 🙂

In my own understanding I should be approx 7-8 weeks pregnant. CW hospital booked the 1st antenatal appointment on January 31st, is it too late? It looks like you all had yours already 😂

Conceived on 30th Dec (I caught ovulation day using ovulation strips) and got a 3+ weeks on clear blue test but technically only 3 weeks today?

The part of the green midwife notes that say ENG for the past appointments have always had face wrote in them but today she has put 115 in that box, does anyone know what this means? I only noticed after reading when I got home. I am 35+3 weeks along.
