Can anyone breakdown the actual meaning of this for me? I saw my midwife on Monday for a follow up appointment as I am high risk.

It's getting darker phew This is Tuesday and today EDD 17/5/25

Is this too light for 13dpo? It's slightly darker/more pink in person (period due tomorrow). I've been getting absolute squinters that disappear when dry from 10dpo. My 12dpo and 13dpo lines are visible when dry so I think they are getting slightly darker. In my first pregnancy (which unfortunately ended in a loss...

Evap line?

I think I’m having serious line eyes

What to expect from a dietician call? We have one at the end of this month and have no idea what to expect! What questions did you ask? Early weaning? Any advice would be helpful!

I’ve got an incredibly faint line on an early CB test at 9dpo (making me 3w3d) Is that even possible or is it more likely the test is faulty?

Does anyone believe in superstition? My mum said not to buy anything for the baby until I’m in my third trimester so I don’t jinx anything. People say not to have the pram in the house before baby is born. I don’t wanna believe in that but the more people say about all that stuff I get paranoid 🤣 what is your…

Hi all, I’m 33w and I’ve felt awful all day dizzy/weak and nauseous, before any meal i feel so weak like I could collapse. About an hour ago had some spots/speckles in my vision lasting about 20 seconds, I’ve rang triage and mentioned that I’d read that these symptoms could be associated with pre eclampsia or GD. Th...

So I’ve seen recently on tik tok and social media’s that you can request all your pregnancy notes and they will send them all in an envelope to your house! Does anyone know where I start with this?? Do I email the hospital my little one was born at or the maternity ward I had all my checks up at?

Have you registered with a midwife yet?

Recently was diagnosed and have had to change my diet completely I’ve lost 3KG in the process? Is this normal to happen?

This GD is not for me I am being so strict with food, yesterday at my app they wanted to start me on the metformin now I’m very much against putting medication in my body because of the anxiety it causes due to traumatic situations so I became overwhelmed and basically told the nurse no there has to be another way w...
