Same test, same time about 2-3 min mark. Feel like I can see smth on the bottom pic but I’m so biased. Could I borrow your eyes pls

I'm 39+5 weeks so literally due on Thursday and just found out I may have gestational diabetes which I got to get tested for on Friday which is after my due date I'm so stressed because I dont know what the hell is going on, I could give birth any moment and potentially have me and baby at risk because of this but w...

it’s pretty early but I think it’s a faint line, what do you think?

Hi everyone! I found out I am pregnant for the first time on 10dpo with a very very faint line it is 12dpo now and the lines aren't getting darker. Is this normal? Does it normally take a lot longer for a clear line? It is my first pregnancy and I'm so worried that something is wrong. Top test is 10dpo middle is ...

Does this line progression look ok? Third pregnancy but hopefully second successful

I’ve booked my girl for her first app on the 8th and I’m aware they just simply look and count the teeth, however I dunno how she’s gonna play ball😂 anyone had any positive experiences?

Hi all! First time mom in Noe Valley and just entered my second trimester. Basically trying to have the most comfortable pregnancy and I’d love to get regular massages 😅 any recs in the neighborhood?

I wonder how many of you ladies gave birth or are pregnant?

Anyone who has been through the nhs fertility clinics how was it and what happens at appointments( specifically the first one) I have my appointment on the 10th

Hi lovelies, FTM and totally clueless on this. I’ve seen lots of you mentioning a 16 week appointment with the midwife, but I don’t have my next one booked in until I am 20 weeks, is this normal? Sorry if this is a really silly question

This is a vent but do you all kind of get annoyed with your work expecting the same from you as everyone else while pregnant? I feel like there should be special treatment towards pregnant women, we are literally growing a human inside our body and they are like “cool, get this budget done right away” lol. I wish th...

Hey girls, I’m 37 + 2 today. At my last appointment, I had a scan and my baby is still breech so the consultant called up the local birthing hospital and requested a date for a planned section. This was on 23rd of December and I’ve heard nothing as of yet. When do you usually get your specific date and can I please ...

I wish there was an option to search in the group to see if this was ever asked! Are there any spas that are most recommended for a good facial and massage while pregnant?

Is it normal to already be dilated at 27 weeks pregnant? I’m only 1 cm but how long does it take to progress? Is it likely I will still make it to my due date, March 27th? This is my second pregnancy for references

I came across a thing on TikTok about dilation and it was saying about a non invasive way to check is a purple line from ur bum to ur back, I’m 37 week+3 and when I checked I do have a dark purple line going up my crack 😂 has anyone else looked at this? I only checked as I’m being induced on Friday this is my 3rd…

If the clear blue test says 2-3 weeks. Does that mean 42 weeks minus these 2-3 or 40 weeks minus 2-3 weeks? As I believe it’s the timing of conception? First pregnancy bit clueless tbh! Please correct me wherever you can! Any book recommendations (about pregnancy ) would be great! TIA

I did the online consultation for my pregnancy just under couple weeks ago. I’m coming up to 6 weeks and haven’t heard anything yet. When did you hear / when should I expect to hear from a midwife

Is anyone getting/ has got their community midwife a gift? Mine has been absolutely incredible my whole pregnancy and quite honestly will genuinely miss her she’s been that great. I just wanted to get her a little something to say thank you but don’t know if it’s normal? Thanks x

Has anyone had GD before? I know I'll have to get tested again after pregnancy for diabetes. Do you keep doing your finger pricks, or can you have a bit more free reign?

Any cute pregnancy announcements?
