I got my LH peak today and I’m just wondering if me and my partner have BD too much or not enough? We BD on the 1st, we didn’t on the 2nd, then we BD on the 3rd, 4th and 5th. Then we didn’t on the 6th. Then we BD on the 7th, 8th and 9th (today) have we done it too much or should we also do it tomorrow to make…

So I just got done with my dr appt and she said I’m about 50% effaced and about a 1/+1. I know the effaced part but what does it mean by me being a 1/+1 ? Does she mean dilation ? I’m 37w3d

Does anyone know what pain gel I can use on my back that’s safe in pregnancy. I’m 24 weeks and I do care work. My back is starting to feel sore and I don’t wanna keep taking paracetamol if I don’t need to

Hiya all! I am a bit worried as I asked at my booking in appt whether I should have gestational diabetes testing as I have Pcos, the midwife said no. I am now 28 weeks pregnant and mentioned it again today at my appointment as I have been having some symptoms. They said I should definitely have been put forward for ...

So I've just got my monitor, and I'm wondering what should your blood sugar levels be after a snack? They told me what they should be after meals but I would like to find out what snacks are the best option for me.

I have my 6 week post check up tomorrow. I wanted my partner to be there for support, but is it too much to bring him and baby in the room? Should I just go by myself? What have you guys done for your check ups postpartum?

Hi, just wondering the usual week of induction if your GD is managed with both Metformin and Insulin, I'm a bit of a control freak so being a bit more prepared ia going to keep me a little more sane!

I feel like I trust this test because I used it for my first pregnancy (but at 14dpo with a blazing positive) I ran out of pink dye easy@homes and this is all I had and used it for my fmu just now I'm shaking

Had faint lines since evening of 7dp5dt, and this is the first of what I would call, indisputably, a LINE. Trying to stay positive given this is (according to the internet) quite late for this to happen. Told myself last week I’d be happy with any line at any stage and here I am freaking out over how late and faint ...
