No period yet

Hi all, I’m 8 weeks PP and I’ve still not had my period. I had a c-section on the 29th August and I’m getting a little worried. I’ve not had any signs of it coming anytime soon. Should I be worried? Or is it normal for it not to have come yet.

FALLEN at 27 weeks and 5 days

I’ve fallen down the stairs this morning at 8:10 and it was on my back. I have steep stairs and I went all the way down on my back.

Feeling guilty

I know that anyway a baby is brought into this world is beautiful and the most important thing is the...

Tell me not to freak out

Guys, I’m 32 weeks, I’ve had an upset stomach for a couple of days and my lower back is achy - baby is head down already (confirmed last week). Also baby boy is rather big (estimated at over 4 and a half pounds already) Tell me not to freak out - nothing’s happening right?

GD Test Results

Hi - does anyone know the range for Gestational Diabetes test? I failed mine. My results came back 7.8 mmol/L but I feel like that’s quite low or just within the range of having GD. What are my options, could I ask to be tested again? What were your results? Thanks in advance x

Medication and alcohol when TTC

I ovulated about a week ago so still about a week to see if I get a period or am luckily pregnant this time.

Stress

My boyfriend is not easily stressed out, like it takes a lot. We have so much to do before baby arrives and I'm stressed about it but he doesn't feel the stress!! It then makes me more stressed and more angry that he's not worried at all, and it kinda makes me feel like my stress is invalidated! Like, I just want s...

Heart Rate

Is it normal for heart rate to reduce? I’m guessing it’s ok as midwife was happy but not sure? Latest one was today (31+2), one prior was 28 weeks.
