I’ve just had my 20 week scan and i’m booked in for gestational diabetes test as baby’s tummy is measuring large. Has anyone has the same but it was fine and you didn’t have GD? This pregnancy i’ve really been good with my diet, lots of walking and exercise. Feel bit gutted that i’ve tried so hard to be good and hea...

Does this line progression look good? I’ve had four previous losses and I’m just trying not to stress. But I also feel like these tests don’t get very dark. I got a very dark line (matching control line) with a frer. Photos in the comments.

I found out I was pregnant a week ago and after taking 5 test and all having faint lines I think I’m about 5-6weeks. I filled out a form and emailed it back to the hospital. I’m still waiting on their email back to say when I can get advice or a phone call and get a scan date. I think it’s been a struggle waiting be...

Hi all Just wondering if anyone has a number for midwife in singleton, currently in work and can’t get to my notes book. Also my assigned midwife didn’t give me her number she texted me from her iCloud email which I can never get in touch with. I am currently 24 and 5 days and usually I feel the baby move night ...

Did any of you lovely ladies get high thyroid reading in early pregnancy??

Anyone else in the same boat, I've had gd for 5 weeks now I was taking insulin 4 times a day but I cut down to twice evening meal and before bed, I'm eating the right things but always getting high readings, breakfast and lunch I have no insulin but getting good readings I eat what ever I like up until dinner 🙄…

Anyone else consultant led who has had any appt with consultants so far? I am and I haven't even had one so far, just a midwife one for booking appt. I thought I'd be getting one 1 every trimester atleast?

Any one else not really done perineal massages?! I’ve only done it twice in the last month I just genuinely keep forgetting and feel like it’s too late now I’m 39+2 weeks. Kinda seems pointless at this point, just hoping for the best!

:/

23 dpo, wondering if this is a dye stealer as I’ve not had one yet! Hoping this is dark enough for 23 dpo 🤞🤞🤞

FTM and I have my first appointment with the midwives this week. I’ve read that it can be a long one and that it’s not *necessary* for the dad to be there, but for those that have had theirs already did your partners go too or did you just go alone?

Anyone around 14 to 15 weeks. I literally don't feel pregnant anymore just fat is anyone the same. Apart from weeing all the time and tired that's about it

Has anyone done their self referral for midwife appointment on badger notes yet and gotten an appointment already? I’m just wondering how long it will take for someone to contact me as I have just done the self referral ☺️❤️

Hey! I’m 99.9% sure this is all in my mind, but just checking can anyone see the faintest faintest line here? I know it’s probably a no, but had to ask haha

I'm 15 week now and I've still not got my 16 week midwife appointment has everyone else got there's already?

so I stopped working out when I got pregnant bc I felt like I couldn’t breathe and was stressed so it just was not another thing I wanted to do, now since baby is here lifting and carrying him is harder bc I don’t have the muscle I used to. My lower back is KILLING me, part of it I think is due to anterior pelvic ti...

I have read that if you get a stronger line at 9dpo it could mean twins. Is this accurate for any of you or anyone you know? I've included the test picture for reference. This test was also taken late evening.

10DPO and this faint line appeared after 5 mins. does anyone else see the line?

Did anyone else research through their whole pregnancy and after I did so much that I don’t even have to go to a doctor for almost anything for my baby and almost had my baby at home by myself

Anyone have gestational diabetes and struggling every single day with dieting meanwhile you’re hungry 24/7
