With previous pregnancies, the midwife always came to my house for each appointment and it was nice and easy. Now I have to travel to the hospital every single time. Is this the same for everyone?

I’m 19DPO, my strip tests are progressing, but they are v faint. I had a miscarriage last October and by this point my tests were super dark. I’ve done CB tests too (pic in comments) which seem to be strong? I’m confused 😕 does it matter how strong the line is or just that it seems to be progressing? Praying this…

My due date is tomorrow. I’ve had no cramping, no signs of labour, nothing. If anything, I feel less pregnant 😆 I have a midwife appt on Wednesday and wondered what should I expect? What do they do in these appts when you’ve gone over your due date?

I’m 2 months post partum mama wanting to be overall healthier, help my mental health, try to loose weight while I breast feed as well as I want to try for baby 3 sooner once it’s safe to do so. Also has anyone done the post diabetes blood test ? ( I had gestational diabetes when pregnant) What to expect and how s...

When is everyone telling their employer that you’re pregnant? I’m nervous for some reason

I could drink water for days! I've been tested for gestational diabetes and was negative. Anyone else like this?

So I’ve decided I’m going to visit the gp as i’m 35, we’ve been trying for about 7-8 months & nothing. This is probably a silly question but what do I say?! To the receptionist to book an appointment & to the gp? What will they ask me? I’m nervous 😟

I’m 18 weeks and have no contact details for her; I’ve seen her once. She calls me from an unknown number but not sure if it’s normal or not! Who do I contact if I need help?

I found out yesterday I’ll have to be on a continuous drip during labour I had no idea this was a thing. Apparently something to do with the fact I’m on insulin? Even though I only take once a day and atm only 7ml. Has anyone else had this? No idea it was a thing

Can anyone see anything? Taken within time frame.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 1 month before finding out I was pregnant. My BMI is also 56. My first check up post positive pregnancy test was with a resident who seemed totally unconcerned with my thyroid condition and BMI combo. She also sent over baby aspirin to the pharmacy w/o speaking to me about it un...

Has anyone else requested a copy of their birth records/notes from QA? How long did it take? I put the request in back in October and received an email to say it was being processed a few days later, still haven't received anything 🤷🏼

Does it look like baby has dropped? First pic is at 31 weeks, second pic is at 37 weeks. Last time midwife checked he was 3/5 engaged and deffo feels like he’s gone lower🤰🏽#secondbaby

What are your best tips for pregnancy, labor/delivery and parenting? This is my first time doing any of the sort and I’m looking for all the tips and advice anyone can give me.

Looking for moisturiser recommendations for pregnancy! I’m 19 weeks on Sunday with my second and finding my skin is so tight and itchy this time round and wonder if I need a different moisturiser to help?!

This is a little rant about the midwife service I’ve received I know they’re understaffed and things but I just feel let down and need to share. So I expressed my concern at my first appointment as I said last pregnancy I had a different midwife every appointment so was always measured differently and sent for growt...
