Had implantation pinky brown CM and unsure if I see the faintest line here

So I've developed a really bad headache today, unbearable! I hady 34 week midwife appointment on Wednesday and everything was fine. I know they say if you get a sudden severe headache to call immediately but can anything develope in two days? I don't want to take someone's valuable space up by calling for just a ...

Would we say this is close to peak? I’ve never had one like this before so thought I would ask

Hi mamas! I found out yesterday that I have GD and was given my kit today, however im new to all of this and don’t understand it much. Does anyone have a list of what the ‘normal’ numbers should be or where I could find this? I’ve just done my first reading after lunch and want to know what numbers to look out for.

Did anyone start pregnancy with all healthy foods and drinks. And now in the 3rd trimester eating anything and everything 🙈

I had my 38 week midwife appointment today (I'm 38+5). I would have expected them to check if the baby is engaged at all, or if I'm at all dilating... But nothing. I have an appointment booked for 40+1 in case baby hasn't arrived by then but I just feel like I'm in the dark.

Okay so I had my first child with an emergency c section in 2023 June, and waiting for my body to completely heal to try for the second. However, I am nervous that health care will push me for a c section again. Has anyone had a doula and how has your experience been?

Hi, week 4 here… I register with pregnancy notes via the GP earlier this week and it’s making me so anxious no one contacted me yet, is this normal?

Hey! So I’m 38 weeks tomorrow and still don’t have my date for C section. They told me it will be from 39 weeks which would be from 28th dec for me! Should I have heard by now. Can’t relax for Christmas, I just want to know when I’m gonna have my baby. Also… has anybody had loose stools and insomnia at this stage of...

This is a bit personal but did anyone realise whilst they were pregnant there vagina looked… different?

Hello ! Did any of you tried the perineal massage ? I tried to do it with the Frida Mom wand but it hurts so much!! Any penetration now feels like torture… I am not even sure if it will really help avoiding tearing or not… I am 31 weeks pregnant but at risk to give birth before that is why I tried to start these m...

Mommies who conceived this cycle what did you do differently that you believe helped you concieve?

Has anyone missed an appointment before? I was too poorly to attend my appointment yesterday. I text my midwife but I never heard back from her. Has this happened to anyone else?

I keep seeing different answers

If your doc changed your due date to 9 days more. Would you follow the first one given that was from your last period. Or would you go with the new one that was made because of babies size at anatomy scan? If i go by the first due date I’m 35 weeks today. Makes me feel better and closer to being done. If I go by ...

Hi everyone! Any suggestions for a great prenatal massage in Houston?! I need to woo-sah at the spa 🧖🏽‍♀️lol

Hi! So at 5 weeks 3 days mg hcg was 10786 then at 5 weeks 5 days 18996. Not quite doubling but the nurse wasn’t concerned. Anyone else’s number rising but not doubling? I’ve read they slow after they get higher

Saw it processing and I definitely feel like there is a line 🤦‍♀️now I'm doubtful

Baby is 9months and I just found out I’m pregnant again 😩

6dpo and it’s dragging but it’s nearly our time to test 🥰🙏
