Taking my blood was so so difficult , i was pricked like 5 times and i was almost told to come back before one tiny veins finally popped🥹. The glucose drink is not as bad as people say it it

During pregnancy, my urine continually flagged up for having protine. Given that this was a possible symptom of pre eclampsia, I was in every couple of days to have blood pressure tested etc ( always normal). Since having LO, they have discovered I still have protein in urine which suggested I had an underlying con...

My daughter will be going to pre school in September. We have been very lucky and have managed to have child care sorted with myself, my husband and mother in law looking after her throughout the week. The closer we get to September the more anxious I can feel myself becoming. I know she'll be absolutely fine she w...

Is it common to not feel anything with the first baby? I have absolutely nothing and already 17+4 (unless I just don’t know how to recognize it), also I was told I have a posterior placenta, not sure if that influences anything. I’m seeing so many people say that they could feel the baby at 15 weeks already and not ...
