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

I found out that my baby is measuring 2 weeks behind. I’m so nervous and idk what to do to help him grow. I can’t go back to the doctor for 2 weeks. AND they can’t find my glucose test results. I can’t stand this office but I love my doctor. This is so stressful and frustrating.

My registration form asks for details of my birth…but I have no idea how to fill out. I’m not doing a c section or induction so how am I supposed to know when I’ll go into labor and actually have the baby?! I’m 32 weeks.

Just got my BFP on Sunday 9dpo. Did a digital test. Today I did a strip test using easy at home. I’m a bit nervous as had a miscarriage before. Does this line look good for being 9dpo. I know it’s early so I’m hoping it is

Can anyone tell me what this appointment could be for as I have no idea, I haven't had a letter or anything about it and am also unsure about the location of the apartment also

Everyone seems to have darker. I’m certainly 11-12dpo.

I’ll be 25 weeks pregnant and feel I’ve not been given much information yet from my midwife so I’m intending to go in with a list of questions 😂 What type of questions were people asking around now? Thank you ☺️ x

I booked an international spa getaway with girlfriends months ago and found out I was pregnant a few days ago. I’d be 6 weeks, almost 7 weeks during the trip! Unfortunately everything is nonrefundable so I’m still going to go but wondering if I should try and change my massage to a facial or other non-body service...

Hi, my diabetes midwife advised I continue eating as if I have GD 24 hours after giving birth, and to input my readings during this time. She did say that technically the placenta is the problem so once it's out things should be ok, but also that things can take time to stabilise. I can't decide whether to have the...

Hey. I was just wondering if anyone else is struggling with the NHS (preferably Stoke) this pregnancy? I've just had a glucose test appointment through the post and it's based at my old doctors that I haven't been to in over 3 years and live no where near anymore due to moving home which is on the NHS system. My ...

Hi i am 11 weeks pregnant and i have still not heard anything from a midwife. Iv rang my gp up twice now and they always tell me someone will get back to me but no one ever does.

Hi! I had couple of miscarriages, last one was in March and its an MMC. My Obgyn had me tested for lupus antiphospholipid, rh factor, chromosomes test and they all came negative.
