No. When was your last menstrual cycle? Currently. Actually ma’am you can be pregnant and still have a menstrual cycle. Yes, I’m quite aware I’ve had fo...

Hey so I’m having growth scans because of my BMI being too high for the normal tape measurement.

Hey, this maybe a bit random but for the past couple of days I have felt really odd (currently 38wks +3) I am probably making no sense but I just feel highly irritable, exhausted, body aching all over and yesterday I binged so bad on a ridiculous genuinely ridiculous amount of food.

Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows of how and where (or if you have done before) you can get the early gender scan?

I’m literally at breaking point. My toddler has become an absolute handful alongside having my 10 month old. We have had the flu, hand foot and mouth and now conjunctivitis all in the space of 3 weeks. My toddler is just too much, testing some serious boundaries in his behaviour, I know it’s normal this age but my g...
