I have had about 5 appointments now and not met my actual midwife I had the initial telephone call with her. But another lady that’s on my badger notes that’s part of my card team has seen me for 3 out of the 5 is this normal? Is your midwife usually with you for your birth or is it just a midwife on duty? I suffe...

I am pregnant and I need some suggestions please inbox me

Top is 14dpo and bottom is 15dpo - I’m so surprised by the difference- I’ve had 3 previous MC and they didn’t do this

Hey all, I had some bloods taken on the 2nd December and then re-taken on the 30th (due to insufficient sample size) as part of my first midwife checkup. I’ve heard absolutely nothing back so I thought I’d call the midwives today - they said the results would be with my GP. Called the GP and they said it’s only for ...

Girls, I am going to have C-section with my second baby, I’m 36+3 and still not had anyone to contact me about the date. My midwife has said she’s “chasing” but still noting. My anxiety is over the roof. When did you get your dates, how, was it a call or letter? 😩

How long after self-referral did you get your booking appointment/badger notes access? With my last baby it was just a few days but it's been over a week, I haven't heard anything yet!

I swear I see something

Month 10 TTC. Tested with FMU. If I squint I feel like I can see what looks like a very faint line, but I don’t know if I’m just desperate to see something and it’s not actually there💔 This pic was taken exactly at 5 minutes.

These are neg right?

Anyone knows of a reliable overnight doula to help me take care of my newborn? Thank you!!

Where is everyone getting their information from? Or are they just starting? I feel a bit lost

Pretty much prepared myself for a chemical but just wondering if there is a chance!? This is 10dpo to 13dpo

Anyone doing this and find it really painful and difficult? I just don’t feel like I’m doing it right

I’ve just been for a pregnancy massage (would highly recommend to anyone feeling as uncomfortable and miserable as me!) They suggested I book in for labour induced reflexology - just wondering if anyone else has tried this? Not sure if it’s worthwhile or a bit of a scam!

Do u see a vvf I feel like I see it but maybe I got line eyes

I have a appointment with a consultant today and I’m not to sure what to expect. Did anyone ever experience a 3rd or 4th degree tear & go on to another pregnancy and had an app with a consultant? If so can you let me know what happened in the appointment as I’m feeling nervous xx

Anybody else developed a sensitivity to gluten in adulthood? If so, did I happen to be it shortly after pregnancy, or shortly after stopping breastfeeding by any chance?…or tell me when
