Can’t tell if I can see a vvfl on the top test, an indent line, or maybe I’m just seeing things. Please help!

Has anyone else started feeling really full? I’m 26 weeks on Friday and this past week my appetite has dropped and I’ve found myself food averted again… When I eat I’m SO full and getting acid reflux every day 😭😭 it feels like I have no space left and I’m dreading how bad I’m going to feel in this final…

I can’t stop drinking Coke Zero, I’m having 2-3 cans a day. I’ve never really given foods and drinks a thought during pregnancy to be honest. With my first pregnancy I went off fizzy drinks altogether, the thought of them made me full of heave, I just drank water or squash the whole time but this pregnancy I just ca...

Boy or girl? 12 weeks🥰

lol was anyone else’s baby this define at 12 weeks ? I think the doctors might of gotten my due date incorrectly or my baby girl is just going through a growth spurt in my uterus 😂

So I was having my blood pressure checked every 3 weeks as a precaution, had my second consultant appointment today and my first growth scan. Everything is fine and exactly as expected, but he’s asked me to get my blood pressure done every week… and idk why 🤷🏻‍♀️ my blood pressure hasn’t even been remotely high so…

Have to go in today to do a non stress test due to baby movement decrease. Anyone failed the non stress test and what happens after? I’m 39 weeks on Halloween.

Hi everyone, does anyone know if I can get brow lamination when pregnant? I’m past the first trimester but advice online is conflicting. My brow lady has said yes but I just wanted to make sure xx

So I recently went into the hospital for high BP 10/17. I had an appointment today and my BP was reading 140/82, they rechecked it at end of my appointment and it was 132/83. I’ve had a terrible migraine all day and it’s been happening these past few days, my ob said she doesn’t think I need blood pressure medicatio...

Anyone else find out they have the GBs and have to get the antibiotics during labor or have experienced this before? I’ve never had this issue my previous pregnancies and I’m stressed out over this now. I’m nervous I won’t be in labor long enough to get the full four hours of antibiotics. Ugh, I hate this.

Does anyone else get put off the idea of phoning triage up after experiences? I went in Monday last week as i was experiencing tightenings that were more painful than normal (my midwife has said if i get 3 in 1 hour then to phone up) also my baby hadnt been moving as strong with his usual pattern and i had a lot mor...

I failed my 1hr glucose test. I believe my glucose was 170 when it was supposed to be under 140. The problem is I had gastric bypass so that drink made me extremely sick after. Like pulling over to throw up sick. I was supposed to do a 3 hr today to confirm but I picked up a nail in my tire otw there. I’ve been te...

The last 2 weeks I’ve noticed my hands feeling really tight / pressure in the night, but the last 2 days it’s all day / all night. I did mention it to my midwife last week and she said to call triage if it gets any worse. I’ve called triage today who told me it sounds normal, I mentioned pre eclampsia and she said t...

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and I found out I have a Subchorionic Hematoma. It's quite big and worrying, I been advised to take progesterone and will have another scan next week. Has anyone had this? I'm stressing out so much right now. Done lots of research last night. Doctor said no sex and to abstain from lifting thin...

I’m 29+2 and my stomach has been feeling really hard with no breaks (so not Braxton Hicks). It’s not painful and surely it’s too early for me to be going into labour. Has anyone else experienced this in their early third trimester?

any guesses for baby number 2?

So, I’ve been to triage a few times now for reduced movements. I’m 25 weeks, which I know is too soon for a definitive pattern, but you still just know when they’re not moving as much as normal so I’ve been in to get checked. They’re normally super understanding and are more than happy to listen in to baby to give m...

Hi all, been seeing some moms online (i think its US mostly) but they do glucose test. Has anyone in the UK done that? Not been told anything about it

I am currently 37 weeks and as the big day grows closer I’m getting more and more nervous is there advice on the best way to make sure the birth goes as smoothly as possible ?
