Does the matB1 form expire as per the date baby was expected or the date they were born? My baby was born 6 weeks early

With my firstborn we tried for 3 long years before finally conceiving naturally, and so we had made the decision to not use contraception after I gave birth. I’m in my 30s and I knew I wanted more children so I figured it was for the best. Now that I am pregnant, I feel shocked! I don’t think I expected it to happen...

I saw yesterday that I may be counting my babies age all wrong! He was born 6th May, so I have been counting the weeks, meaning yesterday he was 21 weeks old, so a little over 5 months. But I saw that after the first month, people are counting it from the 6th of every month, so technically he wouldn’t be 5 months ...

I’m 38 weeks pregnant and just fell down a few steps of stairs I didn’t land on my stomach but did fall to the floor am I best of being seen to everything seems okay?

Don’t get me wrong I love her more than anything but I have just hated the whole pregnancy thing and now that we’re down to the last few weeks I just feel bad for being angry at her for still being in there. I know it’s too early and she has to keep cooking but I just want the aches and pains and exhaustion to stop.

Hi, So i’ve recently seen that my bump is becoming very saggy at the bottom. I’m pregnant with twins so obviously have been stretched to no ends but this is really weird. it’s like so much saggy skin at the bottom of my bump that i can just hold in my hand. although it’s quite sensitive to touch and prod around. i...

I just found out I'm pregnant and I have no appetite. I'm about 6 weeks and 3 days. I have not been eating as healthy as I did my 1st pregnancy. All I craved my first one was veggies and this one I don't crave or want anything so I've just been snacking on random things. Obviously it's not too late to start ...

Currently 35 weeks and baby is constantly leaning and pushing against one spot on the right of my belly button, it feels super sore. Anyone else has this experience? Any tips to relieve this?😫 Only thing that helped so far is just massaging it with my tummy butter, but that only helps temporarily😭

Anyone just absolutely feel awful like they reverted to the 1st trimester!! I feel like I've been hit by a truck body aches, headaches, weak and the extreme tiredness has come back lol on top of that dealing with constipation and heartburn haha

How was everyone's NIPT results? Any concerning issues...

With 10 weeks to go, I’m currently panicking that I havnt got all the essentials for my baby as a first time mum! I’ve got pram, car seat, too many clothes, nappies, wet wipes etc just worrying that I am forgetting some important bits! Anyone else in the same boat 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I am so worried, this isn’t my first baby but my first C section. I wondered if any other mums could share their experience?

Do you know what has really bugged me? A couple of weeks ago I thought my waters may have gone. I went to the loo and my knickers were damp. I called triage and they asked me to go in. Before even being checked a midwife came in and really rudely said to me “you’d know if you were in labour, you’ve had a baby befor...

It’s my second pregnancy, I am nearly 37 weeks and I feel like it’s been so hard running around a toddler that I sometimes forget that I am pregnant. I don’t feel as excited as I did with my first, does anyone else feel like this? As well I’m thinking how harder it will be this time round to juggle everything. I’m s...

I was really expecting it to taste bad but the fruit punch actually tasted like fruit punch so if anyone isn’t sure about which to drink DRINK THAT ONE🤣. it was just really cold so it made it hard to keep drinking.

How many weeks are u/were u when u had/have your health visit? Mines next week I’ll be 28+5 is this early ?

I have my Glucose Tolerance Test on Thursday which is a 2 hour appointment. Did anyone who has had this test take anything with you to keep you occupied?

I don’t have any anxiety about actual labour at all but instead I’m in total stress about *when* I’ll go into labour. I’m definitely someone with a ‘control freak’ personality and I just feel so out of control not knowing if she’ll come tomorrow or in a few week and it’s causing so much anxiety. I was induced with...

I am terrified to do my glucose test. Can anyone help ease my mind. This is my first and I don't know a whole bunch about what can happen during the test (bad reactions) I just want to know anything I can do if something bad happens so I know what to expect.
