My sister who is a nurse has said to ring them but I feel it’s maybe dramatic. I’m almost 30 weeks pregnant and for the last few days have been unwell (along with my toddler) with sore throat, nasty cough, cold and general aching. Today is the worst I’ve felt so far, as well as all the symptoms just mentioned I now ...

Has anyone got an enhanced dbs done if so how long did it take to get the certificate delivered to you. I submitted an application 3 days ago on the same day I submitted it the application immediately progressed to stage four. Maybe that’s a sign the dbs may arrive sooner rather than later.

Straight after you got the positive or did you wait a little?

Hey, does anyone know who I can contact regarding the care from the midwife’s I’ve had since being pregnant as I’m just not happy with the way I’ve been treated, I was allocated my first midwife and only saw her for my booking appointment and she was so rude I then saw a different midwife for my 16 week appointment ...

Anyone see anything ?

Thank you!

Do you really make a birth plan and go by it 32 weeks never heard of it untill I seen it on my pregnancy app

Just sat looking at my previous midwife appointment document, and at the bottom it says remains high risk?? I wasn’t made aware of this nor has anything else been done/suggested? Is this just me reading it wrong or am I being classed as high risk for reasons I’m unaware of? Can someone who’s a midwife decipher...

I know I’m being silly and probably know the answer to this but is this a evap line? This was in the correct time frame but I’m only 8dpo so can’t imagine it’s a positive???

I have just had a voicemail to say I have Gestational Diabetes - 3pm on Christmas Eve! I don’t have an appointment now until New Years Eve to discuss it as I couldn’t get through to anyone at the clinic. Any words of reassurance or information would be helpful ☹️

So I've made a post before but I've gained 47 lbs in my 24 weeks of pregnancy which dosnt seem like much but I gained it within 2 months recently and got told if I kept it up I wouldn't beable to deliver vaginally my (og dosnt sugar coat things he's very to the point) but anyway is it too late for me to lose weight?...

Premom app is reading this as 0.84 but it looks pretty dark to me. First time tracking 🙂

Do u see a vvf line

Is everyone delusional??? Drinking while pregnant and bragging about it in a group??? And then having a go at me for saying drinking isn’t recommended n pregnancy and that she isn’t pregnant (she was in a Feb 2025 group) if she wasn’t pregnant why would she be in the group?

I feel the top looks more like an evap so I’m thinking the bottom may be the same but hoping it isn’t😅

Although this is my second baby, I think the process has slightly changed to self refer your pregnancy. I understand that the was to self refer now is using the my pregnancy note website. Is that correct?

I am 1 year postpartum and was just diagnosed as pre-diabetic. My “doctor” was less than helpful. Wouldn’t see me in person and had a nurse call me on the phone and her only advice was to “cut back on carbs” They say it most likely started during/ after pregnancy but I was never diagnosed with gestational diabetes...

Hey I’m in Glasgow and had a real ** of a midwife. She’s not published any notes at all on badger notes, I feel really in the dark in regards to my care. I am 24 weeks and feel extremely clueless, never been weighed, nothing on the growth chart, I’m moving midwife because I’m also moving house should I ask to have m...
