I really would love a pregnancy massage, does anyone have any recommendations around the Croydon/purley area? 💕

Im not't feeling good so I took a test. The bottom one is most recent

Hi everyone. I’m hoping for a vaginal birth. I understand lots of things could happen but just trying to work through all the options. Currently weighing up whether to get the epidural “just in case” or not if I manage to go down the vaginal route. Does anyone know if there are other options for pain relief, should...

I honestly can't say a single positive thing about being under Barnsleys care!! They've neglected mine and my babys care, not informed me of decisions they've been making such as they decided weeks ago I'd need to deliver early because my babys small. They told me today at 35 weeks that I'm going to be induced at ...

Anyone else insanely thirsty? I've tried drinking everything and nothing helps. Water, juice, pop, milk, liquid IV. I have a headache, I'm soooo tired, and I have no appetite. I'm soooo frustrated. Husband's trying to convince he I'm developing diabetes 🙄 which j personally thinks is some bs lol

Will contact nursery, but just wondering how much notice you get of settling in sessions, lo due to start end oct

I'm 32 weeks and had a midwife appointment at 28 weeks and my next one isn't until 39 weeks, this is my second pregnancy and I wanted to check if this is normal? I've had consultant appointment at 32 weeks and have another at 35 weeks due to complications in my previous pregnancy so I'm wondering if that's why I'm ...

8dpo so I know it's super early but I'm sure I can see a line? Either that or I really am going mad! Fmu had me debating so done another and it was slightly clearer. What do you guys think? 🤞 Picture in the comments of light balance change..

Please tell me I’m not going insane??🙈

First beta was 50 second beta was 161 today beta was 4,540 is this good progress I am 5 weeks today

Second time mummies, are you doing perennial massage? I couldn’t get on with it first time. Did end up with tearing but who knows if it was because I didn’t do it enough. Consultant has suggested it’s more beneficial for first time mums. Thoughts!?

I’m 31 weeks + 4 days and I’ve been monitoring my blood glucose levels for about 2 weeks now. When I took the 2hr glucose tolerance test my high was like 9.1 mmol/L which the doctor said was like 0.2 outside of the range. For the last 2 weeks my after lunch and dinner levels have been pretty good but my fasting ...

I have my 2nd midwife appointment tomorrow, what shall I expect? Do I get to hear baby’s heart beat, don’t want to get my hopes up x

Hi all, first month using these. It was a pale line this morning so wasn't expecting this. Do you think it's peak or not as half the line is dark and half kind of isn't? Thanks 😊

In order to get to do this, has anyone had a note from a midwife or a doctor?

Has anyone had one of these and what was it like? I’ve just had my first one at 30 weeks and I feel like it was pointless, basically a midwife appointment, is that normal or should I request another one? I don’t know what I expected out of it but it wasn’t that! It was also not at the hospital I’m giving birth.

Had to zoom in cos the light was to bright

Hii i think i can see very faint line.. confused. Anyone who see it? Inverted image in comment

I have the worrrrst line eyes. Help. Does anyone see anything?

I’ll be 28 weeks on the flight back. My midwife said she can’t do the fit to fly and my doctors have said ‘how would they know if I’m fit to fly if I haven’t had an appointment for ages’ so now I’m at a loss? I fly next week? Can I use a private place? If so what one please :)
