Has anyone here developed gestational diabetes before the typical (weeks 24-28) timeline? How did you find out? I am in week 14 now and I’ve been really thirsty recently and can’t sleep without two full glasses of water by my bedside (pre-pregnancy I would maybe have half a glass, if that). I also go to the bathro...
So I’m totally lost with how to do a Perenium massage. I’m 36 weeks and I tried for the first time today, I’ve been putting it off for ages but I just don’t get how to do it. I might sound stupid but I just can’t figure out 😂
What caused you the most stress while pregnant?
I honestly don't know what's going on now, so confused 😐 😕 Anyone else had continuous high readings after your peak?
Went to my 36 week appointment and doctor said that she's dropped and I'm 50% effaced! He said he doesn't think I'll make it to my due date and I'm feeling so much pressure😔 I hope she cooks until her due date, I'm due November 4th :)
How often do you speak with your midwife? Only at your set appointments, or have you had additional phone calls as well? I’m 24 weeks, and have never met or spoken with my midwife (other people have covered her appointments, she doesn’t answer her phone). I’m wondering if this is normal, or if you have more fr...
Hi ladies, has anyone had their 20 week appointment yet? Mine is booked in 2 weeks and just wondering what it entails?
I’m a bit bummed had an appointment for GD and now have to take insulin twice a day. I don’t care for needles and shots so now I’m in a dilemma. It’s was hard to prick my figures without panicking a bit now I have to stab myself twice a day to regulate my sugars. I feel like crying 🥺😭.
I swear I see the faintest faintest line. 12dpo
Heya everyone! FTM here - Got a phone call today for my booking appointment which will be in 2 weeks time. I’ve only told my partner so far (in which I just walked into the living room and broke down in tears😂🙈) When are/did everyone tell their parents/closest people? Or did you not say anything until 12 weeks?…
How long would you wait before going to the GP when baby has a high temperature? Being controlled with calpol but on day 3 at the moment.
Due to go Disneyland Paris for New Years but I will be around 35 weeks pregnant 😅 I have seen that if you show proof of pregnancy, you get a special wristband to avoid ques etc - Does anyone have first hand experience with this ? Or know anyone that has used this ?
Has anyone ordered from Sports Direct recently? I made an order online two weeks ago and my items still hasn't been delivered. There is no contact number for their customer service and their live chat is useless. Any one got a number I can try? I just want my order 😭😭😭
Does this look okay? I’m stressing. Should it be getting darker by now ?
Hi can anyone recommend any good pregnancy massages they have had in the north west london area? Thank you
Hi guys, I'm 37 weeks on Thursday and found out on Monday that my baby is 6.5lb and in the 50th percentile. This kinda worried me because 6.5 sounds fairly big considering he still has potentially four weeks to go, and I've been told they can gain up to 1lb a week! Should I be preparing for a potentially 10/11lb baby?
I got BV at the end of my first trimester, got prescribed metronidazole and then it came back 3 weeks later. At this rate, I am afraid it’s just going to be ongoing all pregnancy and the antibiotic makes me sick and concerns me for the baby. Question: How many times in a pregnancy is it common to get BV and does any...
My mom had diabetes for the last 10 years. She was on insulin for the last 3 years. She died out of a diabetic ketoacidosis last Friday. I found out she was not checking her glucose since 40 days ago, and she stop using her insulin. I feel terrible thinking this was suicidal... She was very tired of dealing with t...
This is today would you say there is a line it came up nearly straight away
Hey ladies! I have this appointment on my Badger’s app for week 28 without much details. This is not my GP surgery nor the hospital I’m registered with. Has anyone had a similar appointment or may know what this clinic is, please?
