I am wondering if anybody knows if it’s safe to do spin at 14 weeks / second trimester of pregnancy? I used to do spin all the time but have not gone back in just over a year. I want to try and get back into some form of fitness during this pregnancy and just remember how much I loved spin…

Why do consultant appointments take so long? Is this the same for everyone? It did say on my letter I might be here for up to two hours but it’s now exceeded two hours and I feel a bit like it’s taking the piss expecting a pregnant woman to go that long without food and a drink… in the worlds most uncomfortable chair…

Does anyone else’s midwife appointments consistently get changed or get there and it’s a completely new midwife so have to do the whole history/concerns all over again. It’s so frustrating especially when my husband has been planning work around appointments when they have been booked in for weeks and it to be chang...

Hey! Has anyone tried pregnancy yoga in Warrington? Looking for recommendations ☺️

Sorry to have a rant on here but just need to let off my steam. Had my 25wk midwife appointment this morning which I was looking forward to as not seen her since middle of Dec. I was under the impression from others and what she told me last time that they would measure my bump as of today but no she said it won't b...

Would I have a dye stealer now?

Why is it that some midwifes say you can harvest from 36 weeks and others say from 37 weeks. Im currently 36+3 weeks and want to know if harvesting now can cause any problems or if i should just wait a few more days

Posting on behalf of a friend she has PCOS so doesn’t know when she is due on!! She’s had 2 tests like this!!!

So I’m 26 weeks and over the last week I’ve been thirsty non-stop and no matter how much water or juice that I drink nothing helps! Anyone have any tips feel like all I do 24/7 is drink and pee 😭

I didn’t want to take the GTT and was bullied into it by the midwife. It came back positive and I spent the next week eating well, exercising lots and keeping the levels down. I was still told to take overnight insulin which I declined. I’ve been doing my own research and from what I can see there are different expe...

Hi I have just found out I’m pregnant and when I went to ring the midwife I discovered you now self refer online this wasn’t the system when I had my last two children. How log. Does it take to get an email back ? Does it send you the code to access the badger app too or do you have to wait till your midwife appoint...

I’m reading about it’s and says different things but my community midwife said 5-7 mins?

Hello! I’m still pretty much a newbie when it comes to crocheting, I’m following a pattern that says Rnd 6: *1 sc, sc2tog* (8) Is the ‘sc2tog’ just a decrease?

Been at the hospital for the past 3 days and the nurses are absolutely clueless when it comes to food and GD. Offering me cakes and biscuits, giving me white bread.
