Does the 3rd trimester start week 27 or 28? It seems to be different on every app😂

I swear I see a line yes the image is distorted but I have line eyes and can’t tell, please be honest I’m really hoping for a baby we’ve been trying for forever it feels like.

I have had a headache for a few days now, I have had two off work because of it. I still have a really bad headache now, mainly on the left side as well as in my left eye. Should I ring 24 hour midwife or would you just wait it out? Not sure what to do?

I’m currently 33weeks pregnant, I had a blood test Tuesday after high blood pressure and a high heart rate. My results have been uploaded online and I can see my TSH level is really low 0.13. Has anyone had similar? I’m worried after looking on Google. I had a midwife appointment which ended in another hospital trip...

I’m 23 weeks pregnant and I’ve never met my midwife before… don’t even know her name, but I already want to change but I feel bad if I do 🫣 has anyone wanted or had to change midwife before? I feel mine doesn’t fully support me at all, I usually get told to go drs, pay private scans or wait until I’m at 25 weeks…

Hi everyone I’m very worried about my baby once it’s born. I know his bg will be monitored for the first 24hours or so but was wondering if anyone knew stats for how likely it is he will be hypo or ill or need extra help? My levels during the day are all well under control (between 4.9 and 5.5 1h after meals) but ...

I’ve just relocated and met with my midwife yesterday.. she’s advised that I’ll be part midwife and part consultant led. I didn’t have this with my last pregnancy, so could anyone share what this actually means? She wasn’t that clear when I asked and I frankly just didn’t understand 🫠

Does anyone experience these? In my 2nd trimester I have these now and then where I'll feel weak and hungry and have to eat and lie down. . .??

has anyone craved pink lucozade zero while pregnant? It’s all I want to drink but know you’re generally not meant to drink a huge amount of lucozade… does the fact it’s the zero sugar one make it slightly better or is it still a bit of a no?

Can anyone else see this ??

I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I had been managing fine with diet and exercise, in fact I was getting away with a lot, I was able to eat carby foods eg bread, cereal and also got away with homemade smoothies, would have chocolate in moderation and my sugars never went higher than 6.8, it was even deba...

Just got told I am pre-diabetic and scared. Gonna make a lot of changes to my diet and start working out..

I’m scared to death this is an evap.

A question for Mums that have had gestational diabetes…. How far along were you when you gave birth? I ask as I know many GD Babies come early, I’m trying to get a rough idea of when it could happen ( aware it could be whenever) but I’ll be induced by 38+3 So how far along were you when you gave birth and how what...

I submitted a self referral to my local hospital, but I've heard nothing from them....I did that on Saturday, and it's now Wednesday. Currently just 8 weeks. Should I have heard something, or should I fill out another referral? How does it work?

Just been told results positive and high. Feel very sad and emotional about it and worried. Any tips and advice? Thanks

Just found out i’m pregnant, will be around 5 weeks based on last period. How long did it take for you to be contacted from signing up to pregnancy notes? Did they call you or just email?
