Can you go to the farm when pregnant?

I've been feeling really unwell with a bug or a virus all week so I left a message with the midwife team yesterday morning with all the symptoms asking if I should be worried or look out for anything for the baby (they don't answer the phone it's always messages first and they call back, although I only ever called...

Line eyes can anyone see anything really faint!?

Hey! So I just found out I'm pregnant! I called to schedule my first appointment with Kaiser, is it normal for them to do it phone appointment for the first? Last time I was pregnant it was in person for every appointment

Hey - so i’m a little panicked. Just been told I have Gestational Diabetes. Besides checking my levels - what does this actually mean for me and baby going forwards? Found myself getting worried!

So this morning I have been for my 36 week midwife appointment. While there she checked my urine which was clear. My c02 level which was on 0. She checked my blood pressure which was high the first time, it didn’t work the second time then was normal the third time. She asked me about baby’s movements however she di...

Missed period by three days x

Does anyone else feel like a total loon asking restaurants/cafes etc if they have lion standard eggs when they’re not obviously pregnant? 🤣 I’m sure they must think I’m really fussy or a bit mad, especially the first time when I just referred to them as lion eggs and my dad very unhelpfully chipped in with ‘lions…

Can anyone tell me what the midwives do on the visit the day after you get home from hospital? How long does it take, and do they look around your house or bedroom?

Getting paranoid now, had good line progression up to now 🙏🏽

Anyone know what happens at your second appointment with a consultant regarding an elective section, I have mine next week and my midwife briefly said it’s to fill in some forms and to possibly have blood work done but I won’t get a date then, but then some people I know have been booked a date there and then so the...

Sorry if this is TMI but what works for people? My midwife told me to start doing it but even the thought of it makes me cringe 😬. I got a tool from fridamom but not sure I did it correctly as it hurt a bit after.

Hey everyone! I’ve noticed a lot of negativity from women in this group towards the pregnant moms. I’ve decided to make a separate 420 group called “Pregnant CannaMamas”, for pregnant moms who use THC as their form of medication during pregnancy, NO judgement. I thought I’d share (: see you over there ✨🍃💨

Does this look like a second line or an evap ? 11 dpo !

Has anyone experienced this? I am currently 6w and 4days. I took a digital pregnancy test today and says 2-3 weeks. Last few weeks when I have done the test it has shown as 3+. Not sure why the weeks have gone back?

Only 8dpo, so wasn’t expecting anything. I know for certain there isn’t a line, but man you really start imagine that line there and it makes you go crazy!

So this is my 2nd pregnancy and the last time (3 years ago) I rang the doctors/midwife’s and they saw me for my first appointment in about 2-3 weeks from me ringing them but it just feels like this time around I’ll be having to wait ages to see them from looking online etc, as I self referred last week (or maybe I’m...

Hi I got diagnosed with gd last Wednesday and have my meeting online today, I don’t want to do the finger pricking I want a continuous glucose monitor has anyone else been able to get one I’m in the uk so NHS

Has anyone requested to see their maternity notes from birth or requested a birth debrief? It’s something I’d like to do as I had a fairly traumatic experience and would like to find out some more details of what went wrong for me. I’m wondering who to ask for this? Would it be the community midwives, or health visi...
