Hello all, just wanted to know how nub theory works and if it’s accurate?

How did you deal with the anxiety of the upcoming birth during the last weeks of pregnancy?

My first sono and confirmation is not scheduled until week 10. The office made a mistake and I am very frustrated about it, so now I’ll need to call twice a day to see if they have an opening for sooner for just the sono. I just want to know everything is healthy. So far no complications. My PTO is running low at wo...

As I see some ladies having to fast 12 hours before Tha...

Saw the GP this afternoon who prescribed aptamil pepti 1 for suspected CMPA. Little one has had one feed a couple of hours ago and has spent the last hour screaming crying trying to pass wind and poop. Is this to be expected with the sudden formula change? The GP told me to do a straight swap and didn’t mention ...

I heard it said before that girl pregnancies are tougher on the body than boy pregnancies (probably no science to this whatsoever) but my pregnancy with my son I had perfect health the whole way through whereas this pregnancy i’ve been in an out of hospital with HG, dehydration then UTI after UTI, kidney infection, ...

Just some reassurance for anyone awaiting a cesarean, whether it's your first or a repeat. I'm sat at home, 54 hours post op with my baby boy and my toddler cuddled up to me. It was honestly such a calm, straight forward experience (my first was an emergency after long failed induction). I was up and walking ok as ...

Has anyone had their glucose test come back as elevated? I’m 26 weeks and just got my results back, slightly elevated. I have to get another test (3 hours this time). I have no medical/family history of diabetes, eat mostly healthy, and am active. If you’ve tested as elevated what have you done to get it under control?

I had a membrane sweep yesterday as I’m 40+4 now and honestly it was so painful, she didn’t even get all the way where she needed to cause I was in pain. Ever since yesterday I’ve been sooooo anxious about labour because wth, my pain tolerance is literally 0 at this point is what I learnt! Like I know theirs medic...

I think my baby brain is super kicking in i can't seem to wrap my head around the hours! So for my 9month old he gets 15 hours. So for term time that's either 3 half days or 1 and half day per week right? But if i wanted it all year around, what's the total hours per week? Also from September it'll extend to 30 ho...

Hi, I'm 19 weeks pregnant and have my 20 week scan on 24th. I'm really unsure if I've felt baby move or not. All I can remember from my first pregnancy is what it was like a lot later on. I had a csection with my son and had a open myomectomy before him (looked exactly like i had had a csection before my son) so I d...

Hi, I’m 26 weeks pregnant and slipped in the kitchen and fell, I kind of did the splits and fell on my knee more the anything lol. Do I still need to go to get checked ?
