Pregnancy Massage

My husband has booked me a pregnancy massage on Friday when I will be 28+2 weeks. Just wanted to check if anyone else has had a massage at this time? When I mentioned to my friend she said she was surprised I was allowed to get one this early on! Thanks x

MATB1 form

I’m going to my midwife appointment today to get the MATB1 form, what does this normally look like? My work is asking that I make sure it has midwife’s PIN on it and hospital stamp. Are those things normally on there?

Chemical?

Should I be concerned about this line progression? This is the first time I have ever gotten a positive and I was so excited. We have been trying for 6 years. All of these were FMU except the third one. I am not sure of my DPO as we were not tracking at the time. The bottom two were this morning. Please give me some...

Gestational Diabetes

I took my GT test today and it came back as being abnormal. Is it normal to feel wracked with guilt? I feel like my body isn’t doing what it needs to do and now it could hurt my baby.
