gripe water or infacol , they have been suggested to us by health visitor. Does anyone have any experience using them. Thanks in advance

Hi! Most doulas I’ve messaged are fully booked in Feb (when I’m due) - can anyone recommend a doula that might be free in Feb? Thank you!😊

I’ve just had my first nhs “workshop” where myself and 4 other ladies were shown the monitor and quickly told about what not to eat etc. I found the whole process really rushed and if I hadn’t done my own research would be quite concerned about the lack of info given on food, exercise etc. I found they were more con...

This is 9dpo. Can you see the line or do I have line eyes 🫣

Don't know whether to get rid of the stickup black outs

Hi! Have anyone did prenatal massage and how was your experience? Is it similar to regular massage? I am thinking about booking it but when I am around 35 weeks. If there is anyone from North New Jersey please recommend some places, thank you ♥️

Does anyone know any good massage places I would usually get a sports massage but no one I go to massages pregnant women. I have terrible knots the whole way down my spine and is now affecting my hips and walking. Work is becoming unbearable 🙄

Is there anyone else who has not yet had their first appointment? 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’m scheduled for next week though

I have a midwife that I’m not 100% confident with and I feel like whatever I say to her she always has something to say back in a negative manner and I don’t know if I am able to change midwife as I have a glucose appointment next week with her and a results appointment in early October and I don’t know if I change ...

I have my first consultation appointment today, what is it about? What happens in them?

I am about to be 31 weeks on Friday. I am so overwhelmed about gestational diabetes. I'm always starving. Feels like I can't eat anything. I'm having a melt down I just want pregnancy to be over :(

How many days past 40 weeks are you? I was due on the 3rd so I’m 8 days over. Desperate to have this baby but no room at the hospital to be induced so in limbo waiting for either a call or for labour to start.

First perineal massage today at 37+6- thanks hubby! I should have started earlier! Hope it helps. Did it help any of yous?

Okay so this might sound stupid but for the last two years I’ve been trying to grow on social media in hopes to fulfill my dream of being a small influencer and photographer. Since I have found out that I’m pregnant i have brain fog. I’m not sure how to incorporate that in my journey. I see so many mommas on TikTok ...

Is anyone concerned about their sugar intake while pregnant. I mean I drink juice literally everyday, and so much of it. How likely is diabetes to happen? Like do you have to have a family history of it? And what are signs that might indicate if diabetes does happen without taking test..?

How many weeks are you and how often are your baby appointments ? It seems like it’s different for me than how it should be.

For a number of personal reasons, my birth reference is to be in the birth centre at my local hospital. After a meeting with a consultant today, I've been told I don't fit the criteria and midwives wouldn't allow me onto the birth centre. Has anyone else been told they won't be accepted into a birth centre due to th...

7 or 8 dpo so still early but has the faintest line can you see it?!
