Had my test yesterday so wasn’t expecting results straight away, but with my last pregnancy got them the same day on my app. (Week day appointment) When has everyone else received their results?

My baby has been breech the whole time, and we’ve known this. They’ve got me in for the turning at 38 weeks + 5 days…so late! I’ve heard other women have had this issue but I’m just so sad.

Having my second cold sore in as many weeks, and I’m getting married on Monday. Went to the pharmacy to buy some cream, but the pharmacist said I needed to check with my GP before using.

They’re not kidding when they say you’re super fertile PP…

I was diagnosed with placenta previa……it’s a possibility that I will have to have a c-section🥹. I praying it will move because I want to have vaginal delivery.
