So i was diagnosed at 26 weeks and have been diet controlled until now at 30+4. I test 7 times a day and all my readings have been perfect except the past 2 mornings when I've woken up and sugars have been 5.4 so just above target. Any tips on how to get this down? I'm already drinking apple cider vinegar and having...

Can someone explain why my Mira charts are ALL over the place?

Do you think I definitely peaked? It’s still high this morning (the bottom test)

BD yesterday and the day before. Do you think that will be enough??

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a midwife appt?

I am currently 31 weeks pregnant and just wondered when your midwife started talking to you about your birth plan, I had my 31 week appointment today but it was with. Different midwife due to mine being off on holiday but I thought today might have been the day they started to mention a birth plan. Any advice as to ...

Anybody still not had their first appointment through yet?😩or just me😅🫣 (with my 2nd I was seen at 12 weeks, so guessing this time is going to be similar) currently 9weeks 2days

Hi girls Just looking for some reassurance. 10dpo and still a BFN. I know everyone says, wait til 14dpo, but… isn’t it most of the time positive by now? I’m so close to giving up, I’m driving myself insane. Testing all day long, I just can’t help myself. Sometimes I convince myself I can see a line and it’s so cle...

I had type 2 diabetes before getting pregnant and I FINALLY got it under control it was good but then I got pregnant. Now it’s all over the place, I take insulin every night and I just had breakfast (8oz milk, protein powder, and half a banana) and my blood sugar spiked to 170! I can’t stand it. I feel like no matte...

Hi guys how long did it take you to see your booking bloods on the badger app?

I contacted my gp multiple times to book the 6 and 8 weeks appointments for me and baby. Everytime I called I have been advised that I will be called back or I will receive a letter with the dates of the appointments. It is now 7 weeks pp and nothing yet. Any suggestions on what to do? Thank you

I have left messages and calls with my community midw...

My line eyes are giving me a headache 🙈 I swear I see a shadow but then not when I try and zoom in.

This is the biggest group I know to get answers. My husband works so his work need the form however I won’t get it back so who else needs to see this first? We get a top up in UC but it’s our 3rd child so I planned on just skipping telling them until baby is here as we don’t get any extra money for baby. Also o...
