I'm currently on day 3 of 7 day monitoring for gestational diabetes because when we tried the glucose tolerance test I was sick 15 minutes after the drink (morning sickness and no food to help with it dont really mix well) so they didn't want to put me through that again. I was told I was gett8ng a plasma blood test...

I’m new to the BBT and I know I’ve not tracked it long enough but does anyone know if this looks okay. Planning to BD today

Who is getting a Doula Who is afraid and what are you doing to stay positive? :) thank you in advance. I’m 30 and birth has always been my biggest fear but I’ve always wanted to become a Mother.

Hi mamas! Looking for recs for the following in Cypress. Husband and I are relocating before baby! 🤍 Doula 🤍 Pediatrician 🤍 Birthing Classes

I’m not sure if I’m the only one I’m 8 weeks and I’m so tired of lying to everyone that asks me ‘ are you sure you are not pregnant ‘ I don’t know how ppl do it because I don’t know how else to explain I’m anti social and sick 😭😭😭

Always having line eyes

I was prescribed 5mg of folic acid due to having a higher BMI. I forgot to ask at my scan on Thursday if I need to stop taking it at 12 weeks. I’m 12 weeks today. I text my midwife yesterday but she hadn’t got back to me yet. Will it hurt if I carry on until she gets back to me as I am only 12 weeks today ?!

See any hint of anything

Hey! Are home visits still a thing, is anyone due/had one & what happens in them lol? Thank you x

I am wondering if anyone else is hiring or considering hiring a doula? I met with one today. I really liked her and what she states she offers. The additional support sounds wonderful considering my mum is overseas and I will only really have my midwife as a support (my husband I think will be super overwhelmed). It...

Cooking for a diabetic AND someone who can’t have sodium at the same time is proving to be my cooking challenge of a lifetime. Yesterday’s dinner was fine. It needed more saltyness but it was fine. Today I’m making roasted chicken with veggies and a brown sugar and rosemary roasted acorn squash. I’m using the swer...

I have my 3+ how far along would you say I am?

The difference between my first sock (the stripes) and the pair I’m currently working on is so noticeable!

I have recently (last week) been told I have GD and have started monitoring my levels pricking my fingers 4 times a day. The results connect straight to the app and show up in red if they’re out of range. I’ve been told to continue on for another week until I speak to someone but just wondering if a few of the resu...

Hi girls ! I’m having my first appointment with midwife next week but I can’t login to the Badger app so I’m not sure if it’s at the hospital ? Where you guys had your first appointment with midwife ?

Has anyone here had a bigger drop in centile lines? We were on the 61st but have dropped to the 13th... Haven't spoken to anyone yet about what this means but hoping to today but thought I'd see if anyone else had experienced this and what happened ??

According to my app and last period dates I’m supposed to be 4 weeks pregnant, but my lines are very dark, do they seem too dark for only 4 weeks?!

Hiya I was wondering if anyone else throughout there pregnancy has not had notes,blood results, scan details and anything else uploaded onto there app. I’m missing multiple results from visits and community midwife appointments. I was also wondering if anyone went over there birth preferences/birth plan with there c...
