So I was out with my 0artmer who brought his waller with him and it has his provisional licence but it had its old address on it and we haven't been able to update the address on the provisional licence. This was after I had my first midwife appointment and afterwards I ring up my partner to ask where he is and he ...

Hey ladies, this might seem like a dumb question. Should I avoid going out in the last few weeks of pregnancy? It's our 6 year anniversary next weekend and I'll be 37+4. Traditionally we go out for the day (eg to the zoo because we both love animals) or at least for a meal in the evening but I'm not sure about bein...

Hey lovelies, I’ve just come off my period - just wondering when tracking period when officially is the ‘last day’ because I stop bleeding as such after 3 days but for 2 days I get the aftermath of brown discharge so do I mark the last day when that ends or when the proper flow ends? I’m really hoping to get preg...

Ladies honest answers please ! I'm 28 weeks and feel the size I was at 38 weeks last time so struggling with getting in any comfortable position to still have sex! Is it time to call it quits but knowing we have to wait 6 weeks after also seems like a long time for my other half rather than me 🤣 Any positions you…

Does anyone know how long you are expected to stay in hospital after delivery with GBS? Have heard some mixed things. Will ask my midwife when I see her but that isn’t for a few weeks. Thanks ☺️

Has anyone been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes late on in pregnancy? If so, what’s being put into place for you? As in, are you being induced early or…? I’ve not tested as of yet but this is the 3rd time I’ve had glucose in my urine and they’re referring me again at 37 weeks 😅

I got diagnosed with GD today. I had it in my previous pregnancy 2 yrs ago and it was easily managed by diet. I’ve started testing today & my readings after lunch and dinner have been 8.6/8.7 It’s already really getting me down😔 I’m sat here absolutely starving but I’m too scared to have anything to eat. And I…
