Hi everyone, what does a faint control line mean?
I have seen many people suggest having dates in third trimester for easier labor , is that a myth? If not when should we start? Also it also have 5g sugar each ,so will it make our glucose levels worse ?
hey girls! when do midwife’s start talking to you about birth preferences etc?? I feel like every midwife appointment i’ve been to so far they haven’t really given me much information on anything - just taken bloods and listened to heartbeat

This time I can honestly sa...
Just had an appointment with my midwife and she freaked me out about what’s going to happen if I ignore doing perineal massage. Is it really that bad if you don’t do it ? Has everyone done it in their pregnancies? As different people tell different things Thanks xxx

I’m so confused. Tried it the first time today. Am I supposed to insert my fingers into my vagina, like where intercourse is done? Or around the vagina and stretch it towards the perineum? Help please. Thank you

Is anyone thinking of using this towards the end of pregnancy? What week can we use it from and how is it best used?
My wee one is 8 weeks and he has started to roll over. I thought it was a fluke. But I'm sure like all mums. The baby even sneezes and we are googling. So I was like surely someone else has had a baby this early roll. But of course Google being up the good and the bad info and I'm just like frig sake. Why Google!! Why!
Line progression over 24 hours someone reassure me 😭😭😭
