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

I get it and I'm fully aware of my age. How many times does she have to repeat herself? Gosh. My patien...

I'm classed as high risk, does anyone know when you're meant to see a consultant if you're going to be consultant led?

Hey 👋 up to now (37+5) all has been well in this 2nd pregnancy. We’ve been under consultant care as previous child had FGR and getting extra growth scans. Last growth scan at 36 weeks showed a big jump from 28th centile to 57th centile and now my consultant has had me tested for diabetes as a possible cause. Just…

Has anyone else been diagnosed with GD and terrified about what this means? After a miscarriage and early bleeding this pregnancy I just can't help thinking the worst and feel so low 😞

Hi, I’m due on 9th June and have just had my first midwife appointment come through for 7th March which would make me 27 weeks 🤯 I’m considered high risk and just wondered if this was normal as seems like forever away?

So my December 7th baby is going to turn into a November 28th baby. Getting induced Thanksgiving night due to gestational diabetes. So currently 36w4d, and at my cervical check i was 2cm dilated.
