Hi all, can anyone recommend any good books they read through pregnancy to help them prepare for birth/having a new born etc! First time mum, kinda freaking out 🤣

Please help a girl out!!!

Taken in the time limit. Only 7mo pp

No one picking up the phone. So difficult to get an appointment through bradwell appointment. Really want an appointment for 8 weeks. And then 10 weeks so I can inform work. Any particular times I can call them? They always call me at work when my phone is unccessible to me

Hey, just wondered how long it took people to get a message/letter saying the dla form has been received? I know it takes weeks and weeks to process I'm just keen to know they received it 😊 I sent it nearly 2 weeks ago! Tia

I got my peak on CD15, but three days later LH went up and I got another high result? Is this normal?? BD’d on CD14 & 16.

What are the symptoms? Do you experience pains or how does it affect you daily? And what do you do daily to help the condition, like what to eat or medications

Wondering, if anyone is doing perineal massages? Those who have had previous babies that did these, do you think it benefited you and your experience?

I want to change GP as it is impossible to get an appointment, they have changed there opening times to shorter hours. My question is I have an appointment on 5th Feb it's taken me 3wks to get this, but if I move now I imagine I'll loose that appointment. Does anyone know if this is correct

My mind is worried.

Is this a faint line 8dpo

I am just over 22 weeks and I think I have thrush, naturally won’t be able to get a GP appointment tomorrow and I’m at work. I work by a Boots so was thinking of just grabbing some Canesten during my lunch hour, but is this safe?

Think I see a line but looks too far to the left? Thanks ladies x

9dpo I've been having a lot of the same early pregnancy symptoms I had with my first.

Is this safe in pregnancy?

We decided to start planned for another transfer 2025 however before Xmas found out had naturally conceived 😳😲 I have made lots of friends during my infertility journey and don't know the best way to…

This is our fourth round of IVF. 4dp5dt. Please tell me if you see anything. Perhaps it’s just an indentation?

I've only recently been diagnosed so I haven't seen anyone yet or got a monitor however my midwife said I would be allowed 2 slices of Wholemeal bread a day so I've just had a toastie and my baby is moving and kicking like crazy so I'm worried it's made my blood sugars high. Any advice?

I will be cutting it fine when I apply for the funding code as I’ll be changing jobs but I understand the code need to be given to the nursery by 31st March and the application process takes 1-2 weeks. The earliest I can apply for the funding will be 11th March. I just wanted to see how long it took everyone else to...

I’ve been testing every 2 days from 8dpo (I was getting negatives) and on, and I finally got a faint, if I calculate it right, I would be 4 weeks 3 days pregnant. I can’t wait to see an OB, I just need to know I’m not crazy! This would be my 4th baby (5th pregnancy)
