Has anyone who is giving birth in St Thomas had problems with their midwife team and asked to change? I’m not having a great time with my midwives. They have some policies that they apparently stick to but they’re very inconsistent with them and they don’t seem to be erring towards the kind thing when it comes to m...

So I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant and yesterday I had my gestational diabetes test done and they said they would call between 5pm and 8pm if I had diabetes so I thought I was in the all clear again for my second pregnancy but I got a call about an hour ago saying they had to call the lab as my results came out as i...

Anyone have any issues trying to get onto my pregnancy notes? I keep getting this screen 🫠

I know I just need to wait but I’m sooo impatient. I’m sure I can see a line definitely on the last test 😂

Last week the midwife suggested my sugar was slightly high in my sample. She then checked my first baby who was 98th percentile and said that could be two concerns towards GD.

Trying not to get my hopes up but what’s your opinion. Can you see a faint line? I think I’m about 9 dpo! Thanks 😀

I recently moved areas and started the program in a separate trust so was allocated a new nurse. I’ve found so far that after meeting up with the new one twice that I feel really awkward with her and I’m not sure if feel like I would be comfortable seeing her when my baby comes. I’m not sure if this is something I c...

Or “private midwives” Is anyone using one, or considering it? I’m doing a bit of research, I’m curious as I feel like not many people know about them? But maybe that’s not true. Thanks x

My period ended Friday, also when I was supposed to start my new pack of birth control pills but didn’t because I officially got off the pill due to hubby getting a vasectomy. We had sex a few hours before his vasectomy on Monday and he finished in me. We don’t mind having a third baby if it happened, but is it very...

Hi! Getting married in May and was wondering if you can get a spray tan while pregnant?
