Hi everyone , I’ve been trying to get through to triage all afternoon but keep getting to the front of the queue to be met with the same message ‘ all our agents are busy call back later’. Has anyone else had this?
Has anyone started/done a pregnancy journal? I’ve ordered one to start documenting the rest of my pregnancy and for when baby is here and just wanted to see if other mums have done the same as I’ve not seen any posts about them 👀
Can you eat gammon / roast ham when pregnant? Its my favourite meat with a roast dinner and I’m desperate for it 🤤
Hi, so we are pregnant. A lot of tests have confirmed it. I have registered for mypregnancynotes but not spoken to my GP yet. I’m guessing I just wait now for contact? I’m in Kirklees/Calderdale area if that helps.
Sorry all for the rant but I just need to get it out there. Had my first consultant appointment yesterday (wasn’t my named consultant but some random one that was almost an hour late to the appointment and on her phone the majority of the appointment). As I’ve had a previous c section before, she said if I opted for...
i rung my gp last tuesday as i hadnt had any word on the 6-8 week check up. they said the lady who is sorting it isnt in and she will be in contact. baby was 7 weeks at this point. she didnt get in contact by friday so i rang again and she said they will ring monday morning. i still hadnt heard anything come today ...
For anyone going through blood work does anyone know what their HCG levels are and at what week and days? I am waiting mine from yesterday which would be 4 weeks 1 day and I’ll go again on Thursday for more x
This is my test at 17dpo according to my app..? When can I expect it to be stronger?
My baby’s skin is peeling like crazy. I heard it could be due to being overdue and their first layer of skin sheds in the womb. I then went back to the Flo app and I feel like I told my doctors my last Period was Dec 15 but when I look it shows first day of last P Nov 30-Dec 5. Wondering do you guys think i was over...
Has anyone been contacted by a health visitor and do you know how they are different from the midwife team?
Hi guys, anyone been discharged from speech and language after first appointment and told the best thing is for a paediatrics referral? I’m so confused as to what this means? The appointment was so much to take in and in the moment i just acted like I understood stupidly
Everytime I put the insulin units up. The dose works for two days and then my fasting levels go up again. It’s so draining. At this point I’m so scared what my end insulin unit dose will be. It’s only been two weeks since they gave me the pen and I’m on 8 units, probably 10 by tonight. I’m only 11 weeks. Fasting lev...
Do my glucose numbers look ok? I'm 34 weeks 1 day pregnant and they want to give me a c section around 37 weeks and are also worried bc I have mild anemia.
It’s very early like 1am but technically 10DPO
My mom swears it does, this popped up after the 3 minute timer. I has more color in person and without the flash, I just don’t know. What do yall think?
It has more color without the flash, my mom swears she sees something but I don’t!!😭 Also this was only a minute or two after the test!
My midwife is so rubbish at communicating!! I have only met her once and she never gets back to me when I’ve called and left a message. So annoying !
Hep?! I took this test this afternoon (I know I know it wasn’t FMU) and didn’t think anything of it, I always take a picture after but I’ve just looked at it and swear I can see a VVVVFL?! Anyone else or am I just clutching 🥹 roughly 9DPO and my boobs are starting to get sore (could be AF on her way though)
Does anyone see a faint line on either of these?
Hi ladies, We've just moved to Ayrshire from London and I'm 34 +4 weeks. I'm just wondering what the postnatal care is like with NHS Scotland, what can I expect? In my home country (Netherlands) women receive 8 days at-home care by a midwife assistant, but I doubt such a thing happens here! However, does anyone v...
