Community Posts, Tips & Support on Pregnancy Care

So next week I have an interview for a senior healthcare assistant in the hospital and I’m stressing out as I really want this job, but I’ve been to 3 interviews with the NHS before and never ended up getting the role, so getting really anxious as really desperately want this job! Just looking for any wee tips anyon...

Has anyone else become more thirsty?! I'm 35 weeks and feel like I'm becoming so much more thirsty especially in the night! Which is then leading to weeing more which is very annoying 😂

Okay so I took it out in the time frame and saw this? Am I crazy? I know they say to not tamper with it but I felt like I could see something and needed a better look lol.

Has anyone found out this early?

How far along were you when you had your first prenatal appointment?

Hey, just wondered if anyone else is feeling pretty unsupported and alone when it comes to services in their area. My first midwife appointment wasn't what I expected at all, I didn't really get any information and felt like I was on a conveyor belt. They told me not to contact the midwifes pre-18 weeks, and any iss...

Just curious, I’m 35 weeks and I’ve never had an appt that I’ve had to wait less than an hour in the 12+ times I’ve come now. I’m used to it by now, but just curious what everyone else’s wait times are usually.

My eyes keep catching on something can anyone else see it?

Can anyone help? First time mum and being seen by consultant every 3 weeks. 37 weeks tomorrow, should I be seeing my midwife, havent seen her from 20 weeks and haven’t spoke to anyone about labour or my options etc…

Please help I am 7 DPO /(I know very early still) however I did a test lastnight left it tbh I totally forgot about it while I was doing something, came back to see a faint blue line! Now I am trying not to get my hopes up but please say you see it too

So when I had my son I felt like the nurses didn't take me seriously. I kept telling them that I needed to push and they just dismissed me and forced to to walk to the bathroom to have a wee (where I nearly had my son in the bathroom) I asked to be checked because I new that I was literally crowing and they just kep...

Anybody pregnant with their third child ?

Proper squinter but can anyone see it please?! 🤞🏻

Heyy yall. For those momma’s who went into labor naturally at or before 38 weeks, how did you do it??? I need advice bad. My drs saying that bc I’m diabetic I have to deliver at 38 weeks via c-section if I haven’t already started laboring. And yes my diabetes is controlled and so far baby boy is measuring normal not...

Just wondering if anyone else has started to really struggle opening bottles and jars etc? No idea why pregnancy would reduce grip strength even though google says it can!

I started a new job in the middle/end of October. I am now 15 weeks, almost 16 weeks, pregnant. When do you think I should inform work I’m expecting. This is my third pregnancy now, so I imagine I’ll start showing soon. Right now I just have some bloat, and a bit of weight gain, but nothing to give it away that I’m ...

My first blood draw at 4w2d was over 600 and then at 4w4d it was 1300… anyone else have really high HCG? Or have had this in the past? Thinking it could be twins 😮‍💨 To add: we went through fertility and did IUI and I had two eggs drop, so there very much is a chance of twins
