hello, i’m 32 weeks pregnant with my first baby and have only seen my midwife 3 times, (12 weeks, 24 weeks and 28 weeks) during my last appointment at 28weeks i was told i would see her again until 36 weeks! i don’t believe there should be a gap of 8 weeks between appointments at this stage? she is aware i have lo...

I want an icecream so bad today. I feel like I can have it now and my sugar will be fine by dinner time. 🫠🫠🫠 I want it so bad idk what to do

Do you see it?

Do you see the faint line or am I just seeing things?

Hi ladies, is it just me or is there a faint line here? Trying for baby number 2 🤞

I definitely have line eyes. I thought I saw a super faint shadow like if it was just barely there. But it’s probably not there. I’ll probably test again tonight 😅

My newborn hasn’t done a poo in 3 days, she’s formula fed and it says online to contact my midwife if she hasn’t pood in 3 days. However I do not have a contact for my midwife, do I ring the hospital midwife team, or is there an out of hours number I ring? My GP is closed so can’t ring them 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m 37+2 and I just feel thirsty all the time is anyone feeling the same or should I ask to be retested for diabetes? Everything’s been fine just seems To have ramped up a little since turning 37 weeks

I’m going crazy, been testing since 9dpo and this is my first hopeful looking test… am I imagining the line?!

I’m 22DPO, and just did a digital which said 2-3 weeks, when has anyone got their 3+ weeks on this test? My calcs make me 3 weeks 1 day since ovulation (5 weeks + 3 since last period) so I was thinking it would say 3 weeks…. Feeling a little worried 😕

So I failed my hour glucose test so I had to do the three hour glucose test only to fail that as well. So now I have Gestational Diabetes and have to prick my fingers four times a day for two weeks and I am not too thrilled about it. I already am scheduled for c-section. Now mind you with my first born I ended up ha...

Any guesses ?? The tech refused to say anything 🥲

Hey! I’m 37 weeks pregnant and starting to feel a bunch of aches and pains all over my body. I went to a massage this morning but wasn’t so impressed so I’m hoping you can give me some references of good massages you have had in Montreal. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! I did a test a couple of days ago and got what I thought was an evap line (picture in the comments) but two days later I’ve taken another and got this. I’ve ever had an evap line that appears on both sides before it’s normally just a bold line on the left. Does this one look like an evap to you guys? I’m n...

Anyone recommend or know any places in or around Norwich that do c section scar massages please

Does anyone track bbt? I just started this month and I’m not really sure what’s normal? I’m having clear stretchy CM but my temp is still low I think?

Hi all, my midwife felt tummy today said baby’s head is very low and quoted “3/5” I don’t know what that means but I’m due in 3 weeks could this mean baby might come sooner? (🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼)

Hey, anyone at the Bowthorpe Midwife Hub, can you contact your midwife directly or do you have to go through the hospital number in your yellow folder? Thanks in advance ☺️

So does anyone on here know how to figure out what lantus I need based on my pump settings? There’s a manufacturer issue with novo rapid vials apparently so I’m gonna have to do injections again and I have no idea what I’m supposed to put in for the long acting insulin or if my ratios will stay the same??? Also what...

Wasn't expecting to be diagnosed with diabetes late in pregnancy I suppose it's hard to eat healthy in pregnancy I feel like it's my fault because I've got diabetes and it's confirmed that it has caused my baby to be big
