Not sure how many dpo as have had multiple peaks in the past 3 or so weeks and I’m trying after an early miscarriage on the 1st October and haven’t had a period yet. I’m use to seeing very faint lines as I’ve always been an early tester, definitely not getting my hopes up and will just try and be patient and grit my...

Has anyone been diagnosed with GD but had no symptoms? Baby is big! (7lb 12oz at 36+2) so I am being referred to the diabetes team. My original test was negative and I have no symptoms so I’d be really surprised but baby has a bigger tummy so it’s suspected that’s why! Anyone else had similar? Now looking at 39 ...

I see a couple different doctors. Well one is a midwife/nurse practitioner and then I see two different doctors depending on who is available and I wouldn’t say either of them I’m very close to… would one of them be delivering my baby or does it just depend who is on call when I go into labor?

Due to being a care leaver (I was fostered from the age of 2-18) I actually have a named midwife who will be with me through out my whole pregnancy. Does anyone else have this ? Or is anyone have a similar back ground to me ? Would love to find some friends who are going through or have been through what I have

Anyone else’s tests look like this at 9dpo? Had a mmc at 11 weeks so I’m terrified 😭

Anyone else’s test look like this 9dpo? Found out at 7dpo but had a mmc at 11 weeks so I’m terrified 😭

Does the maternity unit know when you have a miscarriage do you have to contact to cancel all appointments or do they automatically know and gets cancelled. Any advice as i dont have it in me to contact to cancel all appointment’s.

Hey 👋 so I self referred on the 6th of November but not heard anything back for booking appointment. How long did it take for you to receive yours?

To mums with multiple kids! If your first baby was a big baby at birth (over 4kg or ~9lbs), was your second (or subsequent) baby similar in size? My first baby was 4.4kg (9lbs 10oz), and I’m currently pregnant with my second. I didn’t have gestational diabetes, and I’m 172cm (5’8’’) tall and weigh 60kg (132lbs). Ho...

Hey mama’s! My pelvic floor physiotherapist recommended taking baby for professional massages or chiropractic work. I have coverage through work for both so it would be free but this is the first time I’ve heard of this. Wanted to see if anyone has done this before and what some of the benefits were for baby. She do...

This would be an educated and licensed professional doula that comes to your home for the first 5 days (can be booked for more or less time but for the sake of the poll let’s say 5 days) to provide support for mothers healing, help with baby, lactation education and support, cooking food/keeping mom fed and hydrated...

I am at the point where I feel so defeated. I have gestational diabetes and honestly have been doing really (good besides fasting numbers which isn't the problem rn) but I am getting to the point where I am getting depressed when it comes to eating. It's mostly because I am eating the same foods all the time and lim...

Hello, my 8 week olds appointment is tomorrow to have a catheter entered as I guess we’re now starting our journey to get her kidney issue diagnosed properly Im so anxious for her, I have no idea what to expect as I have no letter just a call to say they got us in, in 2 weeks we have to then go for scans and then ...

Who do I contact to make my next appointment with my midwife ? (Either 25 or 28 weeks I'm not sure as it's my 2nd pregnancy) I've texted her twice on the days she does her clinic but no response. I understand she is mega mega busy, but I'm 24 weeks now and would like a date in the diary for our next appointment…

I’ve been into triage a few days ago for reduced movement and they told me baby’s pattern is likely to change from now until 28 weeks. The past month or so I’ve established what I thought was definitely a pattern but apparently now it wasn’t?😅

Anyone not overly keen on their midwife? Today was my first actual appointment with her (my “16 week” one even tho I’m 18 weeks) and it was only a phone call which is fine but I just didn’t feel like we “gelled” or that she really took in what I was saying. This is baby no.4 for me and although I’ll not have anothe...

My friends say they see a line? Thoughts I don't but maybe my eyes suck 😂

My friends say they see a line on both test I'm just blind I think 😂 thoughts

11wks+1d early but just thought to see

I know everyone’s different but is this considered dark for 13DPO? I’ve neverrr had one this dark before and with my last pregnancy at 13DPO the line wasn’t even half as dark as this one❤️
