Not sure if I’ve got line eyes or I can see something?!

I have midwife today and I think she’ll offer the sweep, I’ve always said I didn’t want it because I’m terrified of what it’ll feel like and does anyone else get embarrassed about what their down below looks like🤣🤣 Please tell me I’m not alone with this🤦🏼‍♀️

Does this look like it’s progressing good?

Is there any line I’m confused 🫤 I see it but ..

I’m 14 weeks pregnant I’m 4 months pregnant in 4 weeks

Hi 😊 I've been finally referred up to the fertility clinic at the hospital. I know there will be a wait but I am a pretty anxious person and wanted to know if anyone could explain to me what to expect in my first appointment when I get given it. For context, I've already had sti screenings, CD21 blood tests, swabs…

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone’s had a similar experience. Last month my childcare costs were referred to a decision maker, and I’m still waiting for a response. This month I uploaded all the new invoices and proof as usual, but I’m worried that the delay from last month might affect this month’s assessment t...

I just found out I have gestational diabetes, watched the video the hospital sent me and picked up my kit. But did anyone else find this insanely overwhelming. There’s so much to think about and I feel like I got no real information or a chance to ask any questions..

Moms who don’t have family in the area or are sham’s - say you have an appointment, is your partner taking the day off for you or are you navigating with your child to your appointments? If not- How do you keep them entertained yet how do you stay engaged with your doctor during that time?

Has anyone else requested their maternity notes and how long did they take?

I was told at my L and D tour that Kaiser insurance covers up to 11 Doula visits. I’m due in May and would love to take advantage of this! I’m in the LA area, if you know of a place I can find an amazing Doula. Or even know of one please share in the comments! Blessings 💕

Towards the end of my second trimester and not had the diabetes check yet but worried it could be a symptom!

Has anyone had this before or going through this? It’s my second pregnancy and I didn’t have it with my first. If anything I’ve lost weight during pregnancy and I’m a size U.K. 12 so it has come as a shock. My blood levels are 8.5. Were you induced earlier as they’ve said baby is measuring 2-3 weeks ahead and they ...

My in laws call our unborn baby, our baby, and for some reason it’s gripes me. Unless you were involved in the conception… it ain’t your baby!

Honestly I don’t know what to do and where to complain. So since my first appointment ever on the 10 weeks pregnant I went in and they told me that I had no appointments that I wasn’t on the system. I literally had all my messages with the midwife I have spoken with regarding my appointment asking her how long will ...

Is it possible to ask L&D to say no to visitors for triage/labor room? I just want my husband to be there and no one else. We went for a fluid check up today and my mother in law went in with me. The nurse did not say anything. And now I am worried that the same might happen when the delivery is supposed to happen. ...

Is or has anyone had consultant lead care? Im 15+4 and have an appointment tomorrow with a consultant and I’m really nervous and don’t know what to expect.

Is this a good darkness for 11dpo? Expected period this Saturday/Sunday

Does anyone know (my midwife hasn’t replied she takes days lol) if I want to move hospitals which would be under a different trust, would i need to see a consultant again and get approved/sign my consent forms again for an elective section? I’m 38w+1 currently so running out of time but my hospital is apparently at ...

I’m currently 8DPO and I’ve taken this test this evening as I just had the urge to! I can definitely see a line but I’ve heard sometimes it can be an evap line or indent? This photo was taken 15 minutes after the test was taken - would appreciate peoples’ thoughts!
