Hi there has anyone done the amniocentesis? I’m 36 yo and with my second pregnancy. First one I was 32 and the procedure was to pay for so I opted for not doing it but this time around considering my age the procedure is free but I am now very concerned and worry about it. The risks that come with it. Can anyone tel...

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and prescribed 200mg Lebatol at my 28-week appointment. I'm now 30 weeks and BP is being checked twice a week, in a much better place. But F me do I feel like a mess :( I hate getting out of the house, even if I stay in most of the day, I start feeling unsafe/dreadful if I am...

39 weeks + 1 and I’m feeling so much pressure in my pelvis. I know that baby’s head is very low right now but I’m not sure if it should be this painful & uncomfortable. Any advice?

Before my birth I was not scared of anything medical. I’ve had a couple of vaginal examinations in the past and I had a sweep before my birth and it never bothered me. I had a traumatic birth, I was in labour for 2 days and had 2 failed epidurals, emergency section (where I felt a lot of it), I had to be put under...

Hey ladies, I didn’t pass my first test, and I was given a chance to retake it last Tuesday. Unfortunately, I got a stomach bug that same day and ended up going to the ER. I was really sick and threw up my drink, so I couldn’t take the test. Now I’m scheduled to go tomorrow, and I’m feeling anxious. My doctor presc...

I'm aware that IVF due dates are calculated different. However there's a question going around among so people we know and wondered if anyone else had any opinions. Our IVF transfer date etc meant we would be 21 weeks 5 days pregnant, however at 12 weeks we were measured a few days ahead so our date changed to 15th...

Hi, hope everyone is ok!!! I have my diabetes glucose test tomorrow morning and i’m feeling so anxious because of people’s horror stories! how did everyone feel while at the hospital after the drink? Thanks

I’m currently 16wks+1 with my first and not thinking about buying anything for baby until after my 20 week scan but just wondering when other people started buying things just out of curiosity ☺️

Hi my last period started on 29th of November and I’ve found out I’m pregnant but apps are saying I’m between 7-10 weeks can anyone narrow it down at all for me please xx

I swear every time someone pulls out and almost hits me, goes to my left when it’s my turn at the roundabout [UK], is going at a completely erratic speed, etc. I look and there are old.

My apps are saying I’m between 7-10 weeks based on first day of last period being 29th of November can anyone give me a more precise duration if you’re in a similar situation please xx

Hadn’t been tested for Gestational Diabetes as was low risk (ie low BMI, no family history etc), however at my latest midwife appointment, I pushed for a growth scan as had a gut feeling… Wasn’t measuring particularly big and was actually worried baby was underweight. She sent me for a 33 week growth scan and babi...

Please tell me I'm not the only one when it comes to 2 babies under 2? My health anxiety for myself is through the roof! My son is almost 2 and my daughter is 5m. I'm at home alone all day with them both and try My absolute best of course, and wouldn't change it for the world, but recently I've been feeling super...

Just had a GTT test and i’m currently in the waiting room, waiting until 10:50am before they take my bloods. Anyway, whilst waiting I’ve become really tired, and I also noticed my mouth and lips becoming ridiculously dry so I keep drinking my water. I thought I’d look up the symptoms of GD and this is what came up o...

Anyone else out there?

I have my GD test today and supposed to fast from 10pm last night, I went in auto pilot this morning and made myself a coffee. I had literally 2 sips before I realised! Will this affect my results?

Hey there . New to the GD game. My first readings in the morning have been over the limit. Mainly ranging 5.1-5.3. My other readings during the day are quite good. Just wondering if I should perhaps drop the supper snack ? that I was told to have after doing the reading after tea at night. I’ve been having cheese or...
