I have recently moved to the midlands and had my 2nd midwife appointment where they told me that I will likely not see the same midwife throughout my whole pregnancy. I am quite deflated because I don’t feel like I can build a rapport or get comfortable with anyone and they won’t know me fully if they meet me for th...

I explicitly told my family not to tell anyone I'm pregnant, I have not posted on social media or anywhere public that I am pregnant. I sent some photos to my private family group chat from my maternity shoot last weekend. Suddenly I started receiving messages from people congratulating me on my pregnancy. My sis...

I got 2-3 weeks on my clearblue today, I’m meant to be 5 weeks today do you think this is ok?

At 40 weeks midwife appointment, can you ask them to check how many centimeters you are dilated and whether your cervix is soft without doing a sweep.

I know the dye has run but it’s my last one…anything?

Anyone else have a horrible midwife? She NEVER answers phone calls and when I see her she is so rude and dismisses everything I say. My last appointment was just her reading my notes for 20 minutes, checked my blood pressure and ignored everything I asked. She’s very unapproachable and I just don’t feel comfortable ...

How long did it take for you to get an account approved once applied? I have just been told it could take 7 days now I’ve done my application…I thought it would take 20 mins according to website initially?! I’ve got a nursery invoice to pay by 1st Sept!! So annoyed

Hey everyone I had a midwife approach and all is going well I've just logged into my app and it says I'm 4/5 engaged. I'm 31 weeks and 4 days. I know 4/5 isn't engaged yet but he's moving! I dont know anything about babies and being engaged. Is there an expected amount of time for him to move through the stages? Do ...

Has anyone requested to change midwives? And how did you go about it? I want to stay with the midwifery team in my area, however I’m not happy or comfortable with the care I am receiving from my current midwife.

Am I seeing things, it came up within 6 mins?

Has anyone had their first midwife app yet? How many weeks was you?

Am I getting line eyes??

Our little girl some days has 33oz others 23oz, is this normal? Should we be worried at such a big difference?

I was wondering how long it takes for the midwife first contact. I have done my self referral with the badger notes website and haven’t heard from them. Is that going to be a call or a letter? Thank you.

Has anyone suffered with the above? My midwife has referred me to see my GP about the palpations but I already struggle finding childcare for all of my other appointments so I'm really anxious about extra appointments to go to. I just wondered if it's her being overly cautious sending me to the GP?

I am due to fly on 3rd September with easy jet, I will be 30 weeks (flying back on the 6th being 31 weeks).. my midwife said I should get a fit to fly letter but when I look on easy jet’s policy it says you can fly up until the end of your 35th week.. has anyone else flew at this stage without a fit to fly letter? I...

I think I’m 4 weeks 5/6 days today and my clear blue digital is 2-3 weeks. I know technically 3+ on the digital is 5+ but I was showing as. 3+ with my last baby and I have had a miscarriage before so I’m panicking! Did anyone else take this long to have a 3+?

Everyone says there is the faintest line do you see it? Posted another in comments
