Has anyone been diagnosed with GD? If so what have advice have you been given and have you thought about the birth since finding out?

As the title says, called a few times, can't get through. I have been on the app and it looks like they need an additional form. Has anyone filled out this form before as part pr the application process for PPL? I am presuming it is this form? https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/mod-p I looked at the form and it ...

Hey everyone, I am 31 weeks pregnant with my first child. I've been officially diagnosed today with gestational diabeties and feeling a little overwhelmed. I wanted to ask if anyone else has or is going through this too and if you have any tips as I know I will have to make some lifestyle changes. The midwife has b...

Starting to feel like I’m out this cycle (Second photo in comments)

I’m currently doing my first round of IVF after IUIs previously and wondering how strict people are with diet. I am a healthy weight and exercise a couple of times a week. I cut out alcohol, only have 1 coffee a day and eat fairly balanced meals but I also eat out quite a lot and have bread / a sweet treat daily. Sh...

I’m scared. It’s been 8 months since I’ve had my baby and all of a sudden I’ve developed numbness/tingling in my fingers. Sometimes it’s just my index finger, then it’s in my thumb and index and sometimes my whole right hand. What could it be. Terrified it’s diabetes because i am overweight. I’ve been trying to lose...

I’m wondering if I’m seeing a line or imagining it 😬

Only 6dpo I know way to early but can you see anything ?

Recommend me your best Spas, never been to one and want to treat myself. 🥹

Do you have to tell the midwife who the dad is?? so I told the baby’s father I’m pregnant he said “I want f#ck all to do with it” then blocked me

Does anybody know what the normal blood range is? I think I have been high a couple of times today but mine are diet controlled and a bit concerned

Lines like these! BD here we come. Feeling hopeful this month for some reason! 🤪😂

Please say you see the 2 pink lines on both tests! The easy@home has color to it, it's just hard to get a picture of it. Both are taken within time frame

Hello there! Do you know if it’s possible to bring a private midwife to birth at NHS hospital like you can bring a doula? Looking at options and seeing doula prices, I wonder if you can bring your own private midwife for support or perhaps it’s not allowed?

Been tracking my line progression over the last few days. I’m 10dp5dt today (15dpo). I’m worried my lines aren’t progressing..been ttc for 2+ years and if this baby sticks, it’ll be our ivf miracle🤍

I was just wondering if anyone who has had children before has used a doula and if so what was your experience? I’m looking into and really leaning towards using one so just wanted to see if anyone has previously and if so, how beneficial (or not) it was for you?

Hi all. I’m 40+1 today and still no signs of baby. I have a midwife appointment tomorrow does anybody know what I can expect at this appointment?

Found a pregnant pepper (with more than one inside). Heard if its pregnant its a sign of pregnancy does this theory then add to it if there's more? Ie. Twins or Triplets etc.

Has anyone tried this the perenial massage? 36 weeks FTM today. Had my husband do it for me this morning I think he was a bit too vigorous it felt a bit too stretchy...have had a bit of bleeding since but only when I wipe after a wee which also stings. Feeling a bit more sore there now... Really don't think it's a ...

Hi all, I've been for my 34 week growth scan today and babies belly is measuring quite big (over 95th percentile) but rest of him is absolutely fine. I had my GTT early at 25 weeks due to detected glucose in urine and was fine, but now I've got to have it again on Wednesday because of babies growth. Has anyone had ...
