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...

I need some clarity please.. I have been told I have GD as my fasting blood sugar was 0.1 over. The other two readings of the test were fine. I have since been to 3 appointments about this to check diet and learn how to test blood sugar ect. They are confident that my blood sugar won’t be a problem if I’m diet cont...

So if you go by my 25 day cycle I should be 5 weeks 2 days ones that calculate on a 28 day cycle have me at 4 weeks 6 days, I did a clear blue digital with weeks indicator this morning and it’s saying 2-3 weeks still should I be worried about this? I had a mmc back in march and I’m so super anxious that things are g...

Does anyone know of any helpful groups on here on going overdue? I have another chat with a midwife tomorrow to try and get a plan in place and would like to read more about my options. I’ve requested 10 month mamas on FB but waiting approval.

When you want something so much you make yourself believe it’s there. Sigh.

My baby is 3 weeks Post Partum and all we do is feed and sleep. She has hip dysplasia so we are very limited on ability to do tummy time. Is there anything else I am missing?

People are saying they are 5+4 what’s this mean with the plus if my clear blue says 2-3 weeks what to I believe ?

Am I supposed to book my own 16 week appointment? Currently 13 weeks and not had anything come through yet…x

Being a solo mom means having extra ppl on backup to take me to the hospital. So far my doula is #1 but she lives pretty far and god forbid anything goes wrong… so I have two backups (sisters) but both are usually unreliable and bad at responding quick… I’d hope they would be different for a birth but it’s very poss...

I was due to have my 34 week appointment yesterday but no midwife was there! I’ve left messages through the number I was given and told someone would contact back within 24 hours but still nothing can’t seem to speak to anyone! It’s stressing me out, I am high risk and expecting my baby early. I thought I would’ve a...

So I’ve just found out I’m pregnant again. We’re going to centre parcs with my sister and her family next week. Do you guys have any good ways I can avoid her finding out for 4 whole days. She’s very shrewd and we both like our red wine and fancy cheese so she’ll know something is up when I don’t partake. She’s my b...

Is anyone having their second baby? If so how many midwife appointments have you had so far? I’m 16 weeks tomorrow & I’ve only had my booking appointment. Ive been told you have less with your second but it just feel weird 😅

Is there any else’s child 2 and got diabetes? Kinda feel alone with this one as she’s only 2😩 but on the positive side I’m glad as she will grow up and that will be the norm to her.

I’m so confused, when does the 3rd trimester start? Everywhere is giving me different information - thanks xx

Had a notification for a midwife appointment in November. No commutation about it. Looked on my doctors notes to find I have Low Papp-A and have yo take aspirin till 36 weeks ( currently 15 ) Has anyone been those this too? If so should I be worried? Trying to stay away from Dr google

I’m in early labour, contractions around every 10 mins. I have a midwife appointment today (41 weeks) - should I still attend? I’m thinking it might be good to be seen by the midwife just as a check on me and baby in this early stage but also worry she’ll be like why on earth did you come in?!

Feeling very deflated. I’ve changed my diet and they said that’s all good. But my fasting sugar levels are high and they are suggesting medication for it. Anyone else in the same situation and how do I avoid medication 😞 any tips on how to lower and improve fasting sugars? Thanks. Any help is appreciated x
