What are the chances of me being pregnant at almost 6 months pp while I’m exclusively breastfeeding (haven’t gotten my period back) & we’ve used protection? I just keep getting nauseous at random times of the day & I feel “off” if that makes sense. Honestly, I’m praying that the chances are low & there’s no way I co...

Went for 34 week appointment today.. and this is on my portal… I passed my glucose drink test with flying colors… anyone know what this could mean? Or what I need to do?

Does anyone else get more nervous about delivery the more times they do it? This will be my 3rd baby and I'm honestly the most scared I've ever been to give birth. I have 2 young kids who need me and I'm the only one that can take care of them. Even though, thankfully, I've had two perfect labors, I'm more and more ...

At my appointment today my doc classified me as high risk with increased risk of poor pregnancy outcome. Kinda freaking out. I’ve been pretty sick this pregnancy (flu, pneumonia, gallstones, surgery). Is anyone else high risk? She didn’t refer me to an MFM but is doing extra growth scans and blood work

I’m only 4 weeks but I was playing with my cat and I tripped landing on my hands , I am also an overthinker but I researched and it said this early on should be fine as it’s protected … any advice ?

Is guilt a common feeling during the first trimester? The nausea and laziness is in full effect so I do not want to leave my couch. My spouse works a busy labor job and has been getting home from work 10-11pm and I have no energy to get stuff for dinner and cook for him, I feel SO guilty and lazy. I’ve been home all...

Currently 26 weeks, was told at my 20 week anomaly scan I have a low lying placenta blocking the baby canal/cervix. I was told not to worry but they asked if I’ve had previous C-Section which technically I have. Even though this is my first pregnancy I’ve had a surgery last year due to an accident puncturing my stom...

What does everyone think? I don’t understand nub theory x

I went to my OB today because i have been having trouble feeling her move and got worried, (I’m 29weeks) they told me to come and were monitoring her. They then asked if my belly was tight and I said no? They then said I was having Braxton hicks according to the machine but I wasn’t able to feel them? Has anyone els...

Has anyone had this? If so is it just blood tests etc ?

Hi, due my test at just shy of 17 weeks as I had GD with my first. It’s booked for 0850, can anyone who has done it recently advise roughly how long it lasts? I’ve completely forgotten from the 1st time as it was 4 years ago 😂 I’ve booked to take my son to the cinema at 1325 and now worried I won’t be done in time…

I feel so ridiculous posting because there are so many people out there who would give anything to have a baby but... I'm overweight and found out recently I'm pregnant. All I can think about at the mo is how much of a whale I will be at the end of the pregnancy 😥 which I know is so so silly. I'm also worried…

Anyone else’s LO hit a fussy phase? She is just over 12 weeks. Nothing will calm her down:-(

This is the latest I have ever found out about a pregnancy 6weeks 😱

In need of some coping mechanisms, about 6/7 weeks and having a rough time. Morning sickness has been horrendous, haven’t been able to eat anything for a whole week, all I’m doing besides working is sleeping. The bloat is making me look 20 weeks pregnant. I just feel like 💩. I’m also trying to look after an…

Please could someone help me figure out what my edd is? According to last period date calculation that the midwife used, I'm due 4th December. However I heard conception date is more accurate and I know exactly the date I had unprotected sex. So why wouldn't that be used instead? Anyways so I went online found coup...

Anyone else been given a blood pressure kit to do at home 3 times a day , what is normal and what isn’t ? Pictures in comments

I got my sneakpeek results today, havent looked at them yet. But did anyone have a incorrect result? Or doubtful of accuracy of it. Im currently 14 weeks took the test at 13 weeks

Hi, has anyone had this test done in the Coombe? Can you advise the process and how long it all took?

Has anyone done an alternative to the GTT? Just received my appointment as baby was in the 95th percentile at my 20 week scan and I feel anxious already. I really struggle with fasting and need to eat little and often which I can’t do with the test
