Hi, I have no appointments now until 28 weeks with the midwife, do you get a letter for the glucose test or vaccines or what? (QEQM) I had my first child in Ireland and was different, I’m not sure what to expect.

Had an absolute mare today with being up hospital due to reduced movement. Found out today that I should have been flagged for high risk pregnancy from the beginning due to having a high BMI….. so from 12 weeks I should have been on aspirin and also should have been given my gestational diabetes test (again, haven...

I’m on the mini pill never been on contraception before so I’ve only been on the mini pill for three weeks and I’ve had my first period I don’t know if this relates to it or not but I just feel like I’m starving all the time. I’ve also got p...

Love to know how early everyone tested and what their symptoms were?

Did anyone experience being Out of breath the very first few weeks of finding out they are pregnant? I don’t know rather to be concerned or not, I’ve never been out of breath in my past pregnancy’s especially early on.

I chose the natural way to do this blood glucose test and I was so happy to see how tasty this powder was. Ladies if you are looking for a more natural way to do this glucose test while pregnant this is it. I was a little nauseous but I get nauseous when I don’t eat in the morning. Have you ladies tried this? I’...

When do we need to go to GP to get “signed off”? No one’s really told me about this but my personal trainer just said about waiting to get signed off but not a clue when I should do this? I’ll be 6 weeks PP tomorrow

Hi all! We are considering doing the sneak peek test to find out the gender of our baby early. Their website says 99.9% accurate but I’ve seen a few videos online from people they got results that turned out to be wrong and lots of similar comments on those videos! Has anyone here got experience of doing one or hear...

As we're fast approaching 2... What is the science around the "terrible 2s" do we know

Does anyone else not have many symptoms. I’m so anxious thinking there’s no baby. I’m testing positive and the weekly test has gone up to 2-3 weeks. I need to wee more urgently but I don’t have any nausea. I should be 7 weeks tomorrow. I’m just worried it’s not there anymore 😭❤️

Hey ladies I have a spa day booked for this weekend. I’m 22 weeks pregnant and I really want to use the sauna. Google says it’s okay, has anyone used the sauna in their second trimester ?

It’s not gonna even be 2 weeks, for me it’s only 12 days but OMG this feels like it’s never ending

Hello! I’m 11 weeks pregnant with my second baby and the doctor said I have placenta previa but not to worry yet cause there’s a good chance it will move. She put me on mild pelvic rest and I go get another ultrasound in a month to check it out. Has anybody had this?

Had my gestational diabetes test this morning so now waiting for the result! Fingers crossed it’s all ok. I feel absolutely exhausted this afternoon after it though, was anyone else like this after theirs?

Hi mamas. Does anyone know how i can get a driving test booked? I've tried 6am on the website etc and I just can't get a test. My theory expires in July so I need one ASAP
