I was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 36 weeks due to high hba1c level (41), my fasting level was fine. I've just been given the blood sugar testing kit (38 weeks). First day was fine but had two higher readings today. Breakfast (toast, egg, beans) was 8.4 and dinner (cabbage and potato curry with q...

Hi ladies ♥️ Does anyone have cute ideas on how to tell your Mom your pregnant with her first grand baby? My mom and I are really close and she will be ecstatic when I tell her I’m pregnant but I would love to do it in a cute creative way. Nothing too elaborate, any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!

Had my daughter this morning 5lbs 6oz

Hey Ladies, I’m 6 weeks pregnant and want to be really active this time. I know first trimester wont be easy but really looking forward to do some workouts for next 2 trimesters. I have been doing strength training for last 1Y and would really love continuing doing that. Do you have any recommendations for any app ...

Hi all, I’m 39+2 today with 2 additional appointments booked with midwife at 40 and 41 weeks. So far I haven’t had my cervix dilation checked, also my midwife said I’ll be offered a sweep only at 41 weeks (even though she already told me she finds unnecessary as she thinks it doesn’t work). She said my baby feels ...

I feel like I can’t capture it on camera though. I’m hoping a BFP shows up in the next couple of days!

I found out yesterday that I am 3 weeks pregnant I think from when I believe conception happened. I didn’t have an period after my MVA procedure which was 19th September so it’s happened really quickly which I’m so nervous and I want some advice on what I should be doing to help this pregnancy

Look at first picture in comment please!! What do you guys think? (Left line is the test, right is the control) I have very irregular periods ranging from 28-60 days. I am only 26 days into my cycle so still very early to be showing positive already but I’ve just been feeling so off all week

So I took this test this morning and it’s says I’m 1-2 weeks pregnant but I don’t know how far along I actually am due to having a missed miscarriage and MVA procedure 19th September and I haven’t had a period since that procedure but I took the pregnancy test 3 weeks after the procedure which was negative so I’m re...

I did an digital test last night and it came back 1-2weeks pregnant but I haven’t had a period since my missed miscarriage where I have an MVA procedure done which was 19th September so I’m unsure on how far along I am does it mean I am 2 weeks pregnant I am so confused

Hello! I have just found out I have gestational diabetes which can hopefully be managed just with diet. I also am at risk of developing pre-eclampsia because both my mum and sister had it. I had a growth scan today (29 weeks) and baby is all good but breach, although they have said not to worry about this as there i...

Does anyone know if how long the belly button will stay the same or different when the stomach grows during pregnancy? Since I’m nearly 8 weeks and still show my same stomach.

does the lines look like they are getting darker last 3 are this morning then the 3 before are yesterday i’m terrified of something happening and i fell off a swing on wednesday 😂 so really scared something has happened, obviously when they dry they get a different colour

Think I'm around 8dpo I'm only testing as have a procedure today, cd38 Unsure if just lighting but thought I could maybe see something in one

Hi ladies. I have my second appointment today, the one where you go in and have baby weighed, Just wondering what else to expect? Thank you💙

I’m losing the plot 🤣

I’m also only 8dpo so I’m not sure.

Help, I forgot to ask my midwife for my MatB1 form today.. how do I go about getting it I’m not even sure how to contact them as never had to before.

Anyone here with GD? It's almost like I woke up on Monday and my body has been like nah don't want to play ball this week. I've had so many problems with this condition, but after talking at length with my medical team we had come up with a plan and it had actually been working for a week or so I was finally seeing...

I’m rather nervous about my tests being too light and no dye stealers (currently 13dpo, first strip was 10dpo. Yes, I test like a mad woman 🫣) I’m just so nervous about it sticking. Would you expect to see a darker line by now? 😩 Any advise is welcome as I’m so scared of another loss.
