I think the best item that I could possibly suggest for a pregnant woman to buy is a nightlight for the bathroom. One that adjusts automatically to the light and turns on when it's dark. $6 at Walmart and I'm grateful for it every time I go pee at night.

What happens at 25wk midwife appointment usually?

My blood pressure is up and down. I had a reading of 191/85 earlier and not long after it went down to 150/93. It fluctuates a lot and can also be in the 125/80 mark. Is this normal or should I contact the MAU?

Hi ladies, my name is Sammi. I’m 26 weeks pregnant 🤰🏽 I’m a yoga teacher and personal trainer. I have stepped away from teaching at the moment due to not being able to teach heated classes anymore. I’ve been wanting to do something to help other pregnant moms to get moving safely while in this stage of life.…

Hi..is there anyone being treated at the ahewitt in Knutsford under NHS in this group? What was the waiting time between GP referral and first appointment ? How have you found everything with them?

Does anyone know if the phone lines are down at DV? I know there is an outage round that area. Has anyone else experienced not getting through to their phone lines?

Been in hospital with husband since 8pm last night (for him, not me). He’s been told he has diabetes type 1 (strange to be found at his age but 🤷🏻‍♀️). He’s managed to sleep in the hospital bed but I absolutely cannot get comfortable in this plastic chair I have 😂. I keep telling him to move over so I can get in…

This will be my third pregnancy. My first with my son and second ending in a miscarriage in July. I’m so happy but so scared. Due date would be May 13.

Are you also bad at basic math? Or do you know what 16% of 168 is off the top of your head? Do you know what 15x67 is off the top of your head? What about 45÷5 (without using fingers)? I know these are simple but I'm horrible at math and need a calculator, Google percentages, or use my fingers to count. I can't st...

Hiya 🙂 just wondering if anyone has tried using a mushroom complex and if so, do you recommend/have they helped at all? I’ve seen a few more expensive brands advertised on my insta, but have also had a look on Amazon and seen some cheaper alternatives. Any thoughts are appreciated xx

Has anyone else gone through this, my doctor said it’s ok and to cut back on carbs and sugars but I feel sad and worried.

I’m 33 weeks pregnant now, I had a consultation this past week, and the doctor was in the room for less than 5 minutes and instructed a growth scan for next week, but I was just wondering when you usually talk about a birth plan? I assumed it started at 28 weeks and then mentioned again at the next appointments? I a...

Appreciate it should all be washed regardless of pregnancy! But not everyone is in the habit, and sometimes it's just forgotten. My husband is awful for washing produce, I have to tell him every single time and if I don't it doesn't happen. So now I've just had unwashed grapefruit and am trying to reassure myself it...

Can anyone recommend a white noise machine that doesn’t cost a lot please?
