Those that have used it before, can nipt tell you sex for each baby if carrying twins? I did the gender nipt test and waiting for results. I have 4 girls I wish I can have boys, even just one but at the end of the day, anything is a blessing from God.

This is my first pregnancy and I truly didn’t think I was going to POP until at least 6/7/8 months. Especially because my mom, mil, close friends didn’t start showing until that time as well for their first pregnancy. Yall I literally started showing as soon as I was 15 weeks. And what’s crazy is that I workout sinc...

Hello everyone, i hope you all are doing great, I just found out I have some symptoms of pre eclampsia. I am almost 34 weeks pregnant. I am freaking out honestly and it’s really difficult to stay positive with all the results coming out with every test. I just want to know if we can cure this and how’s everyone deal...

Nub Theory???? I have ZERO idea… reading online was just confusing me more 😂😂😂 What do you think!?

Other than routine appointments, vaccines etc, how many visits to the doctors have you had about your baby/postpartum self? I've gone three times now but worried I'm becoming one of those mums who panics about every little thing 🙁

What's the earliest people are testing in terms of DPO? I'm 5dpo now, I know implantation is usually 6-10dpo. How early have people seen positive tests?

I feel silly for posting this but I'm just feeling a little anxious about labour and birth, on and off! This is my 2nd baby and I was induced the first time. Id really love a natural labour this time but every twinge makes me feel a little on edge instead of excited. I did hypno birthing with my first and feel I can...

Does this sound correct that I conceived end of December , early January ??

Does this sound correct ? That I had conceived either end of December towards beginning of January?

Has anyone else had cold/ flu like symptoms in the last trimester and been okay? I’m 36 weeks and I feel rubbish! But more worried about the little one still growing inside me! Any tips on what I can take to feel better? Thankyou! 🩵🩷

Have my GTT tomorrow and the nhs website states two blood draws, a fasting sample then 2 hours after drinking the drink. I have just read that my trust does 3 blood draws?? One an hour after the drink and another 2 hours after. I'm a fainter and have extremely bad veins so any blood draw is traumatic for me, normall...

As a previous religious Hollywood waxer - since my second trimester I stopped going mainly due to bleeds. I’ve just been trimming down there short with electric razor since I couldn’t see with bump. A couple of friends have asked am I not going for a wax or getting hubby to shave me before birth. Tbh at this stage I...

Has anyone used this I just got my test results back an it all came back very good AND ITS A BOY!!!! just curious if anyone else has used this?

Saw my new GP the other day and when reviewing my notes saw that I’m a high risk pregnancy. He asked if it was because of my age. Being 29, I was confused and explained that it’s because of preexisting conditions. I thought this was a common age to be a first time mom but he kept going on and on about health risks o...

I would always eat quite a balanced diet but since pregnancy I feel like it’s gone out the window completely and I’m not fancying the healthy stuff- anyone experiencing the same?

Hi all! Just got diagnosed with gestational hypertension at 36 weeks (I’ll be 37 tomorrow). I’m averaging at 145/95 daily. There was some talk in the hospital about possibly inducing early but still waiting to go to my follow up at the OBGYN. Just curious on other women’s experiences on this topic.

This might sound silly but does everyone have to do the GD test? I’m currently 24 weeks, have no risk factors and nothing has been mentioned regarding it. Only asking as I’m awful with blood tests, especially fasting ones and I’ve heard some really awful experiences with this test, if I did have to do the test i...

I’ve been booked to take a glucose tolerance test at home and was just wondering if anyone else has had to do this at home rather than at the hospital? With my first I went to the hospital to have it done. Quite nervous to have to do it myself tbh.

NHS website says 8 weeks, Flo app says 5 weeks. Date of last period 1/7/2024-7/7/2024 thank you
