Consultant review

I have an appointment tomorrow which is an ‘initial consultant review’ I think I’ve been referred because of how my last birth went but not exactly sure. Just wondering on anyone else’s experience and what to expect? Also how long did the appointment take?

Booking your GP / first midwife appointment

I found out I was pregnant on Friday when I was at the GP. She said I have to go online and book the aninatal etc, I've been through the nhs website and there no link to register etc. Isn't this something my GP should have done to refer me? I'm so confused. I'm nearly 8 weeks so aware my 12 weeks is very soon

Gestational Diabetes

Has anyone been through a pregnancy where they were diagnosed with gestational diabetes, but they didn't check blood sugars, ate healthy as possible still but just didn't check for any reason, could be financial or other reasons.

Fed up!

I am 4 days overdue now and have had people messaging me asking if baby is here for weeks now. Some message every single day and I am so so sick of it. I feel like it’s putting extra pressure on me and like why do they have a right to know? I won’t be messaging people when I am in labour and I sure as hell won’t be ...

Never had a line so is this just line eyes or can anyone else see a vvvvvfl too?

So already had 9 rounds of clomid didn’t work and this is my first lot of letrozole due my period today so would assume it would be darker but I will obviously wait and continue to test… BUTTT I could really use other peoples eyes on this one!

Confused with due date.

My due date does not line up with the last time I had sex. How does that make sense?! Acording to my due date, the estimated conception date is 2-3 weeks AFTER I had sex. Dr is convinced that my due date is accurate based on three early ultrasounds. Make it make sense. 🙈

Gestational diabetes

I had it with my first born. How likely is it I am to have it now with my second? As I am pregnant again. Is it possible I could have a pregnancy without it ? Would anyone have any intel on this…

Midwife appointment

So I didn’t find out I was pregnant until I was already about 8 weeks. I told my GP straight away but I’m due to be 10 weeks on Sunday but haven’t heard from the midwives. Is there a way for me to contact the midwives directly? my GP surgery hasn’t been very helpful.

Gestational diabetes

Welp, officially diagnosed. I cried. lol. Blood sugar was 211 for the test. 😔 going to see a specialist but for now I’ve started the diet that mainly consists of things that taste like cardboard. I’m so petrified it won’t go away after my son is born. Anyone else have it?
