Good Line progression? Will it get any darker than this?

I’m confused as to what happens at this appointment or place since it’s not at my hospital it’s local is it my midwife meeting me at nearer place or baby prep near me or what ?🤷🏽‍♀️

What to expect at 38 week midwife appointment? Have my appointment tomorrow and just wondering if they tend to check if you’re dilated at all at this stage?

Diagnosed with GD today, quite anxious to what I can eat and can’t. Waiting to be referred to the diabetes clinic. Can you drink the pro milk protein shakes from Aldi? What snacks to people eat?

Hey ladies, I’m 5 days post stage 3 endometriosis laparoscopic surgery. Can I just ask how long you took to start TTC as obviously they say with stage 3, you have a better chance of a successful pregnancy within the first 6 months post surgery, thank you in advance 🫶🏼

Can you please help if you’re a medical professional-preferably a midwife or obs doctor…in my notes it’s written GDM 23/40 16/40 What does this mean please?

I'm 35 weeks and my midwife said I can start the perineal massage on myself. Just gave it a go for the first time with instructions from the NCT website. I absolutely hated it and found it so uncomfortable 😭 Anyone else having the same experience?? Any tips would be kindly appreciated!

Went to my OB yesterday at 34w5d & was told I’m measuring 37w3d. This is my second pregnancy- my first pregnancy my water broke at 35w so I’ve never made it this far. My question is… how did baby get to measuring 2 weeks ahead? This makes it so close to baby being here. My OB says I should consider another C-secti...

i was discharged from the midwife yesterday but i am not okay- is it possible to get "un-discharged"? The GPs at mine aren't helpful at all.

Tested this morning 9dpo and I could see a very very faint line you had to tilt in the light to see not sure if it’s indent or I’ve just got line eyes x

13dpo one with line was FMW and second one was done with another wee lol

9dpo, is this an indent or a real line?! I can’t even believe I’m seeing something on here after 8months
