Not the worst thing I know but I’m hoping for a birth centre birth so t...

32 weeks tomorrow, and I get easily tired with waist pains everytime I walk a short distance. A friend recommended I take magnesium daily. Early on my Obgyn recommended too due to headaches back in 2nd trimester. Wondering if anyone is taking magnesium. This the one I have, is it different from the magnesium glyci...

Can your GP give your MATB1? My midwife is refusing to give it until my 25w appointment (when I’ll be 26w) and I NEED to give it to work before 25w. So can I ask my GP for it since my midwife is being an arse

So according to my scan today baby weighs 2lb 13 oz and I’m still waiting to be put on any medication to control my blood sugar, I’ve been so strict with my diet but I’m so scared I’m going to have a huge baby 😩 what was everyone’s estimated baby weigh at this gestation?

Hi everyone, this is my first pregnancy so I have never experienced a midwife appointment before. I have my first one tomorrow at 8am. Can someone tell me what to expect as I’m quite nervous. Thank you ☺️

I have issues with binge eating and want to know of stories of people who have binge eaten in the first few weeks of pregnancy who went on to have healthy babies?

Hi Ladies, when did everyone have their booking appointments? I’m 8+3 but haven’t heard anything from my midwife yet.

I’m pregnant after a miscarriage (start of aug), without a period. EPU have said they do think I am too but I have to ring midwives to get booked in. Midwives won’t book me as it’s protocol to wait two months after a miscarriage. They told me to wait til end of October but that would take me to 10 weeks before ringi...
