So I had my booking appt nearly a week ago now, I have a big blood phobia but was super proud and managed to have the blood tests done at my local GP all by myself 🤣🙌🏻 I know some bruising after can be normal but I never had it like this before.. anyone else’s arm look like it’s been savaged after their blood…

Has anyone been under a consultant for previous blood clots? My consultant won’t take me seriously and thinks I’m lying about having a blood clot on the lung last year at the age of 25 (I know it’s probably not common) she can’t get my hospital records due to me moving county recently. I just don’t know what to do…

When is everyone planning on telling their work they’re pregnant?

Hey girls! So I’m on my second pregnancy and had my booking appointment over the weekend, and I’m finding this one so different than my last pregnancy! For context, I was in really good shape during my first pregnancy as we had just gotten married. This time round I’m a little bigger than I was ( not by much but my...

Top 2 are yesterday, I did see something on both of them but I think the second one is just an indent now, bottom is this morning taking in time frame… thoughts? 🙂 I see it so much in person ( the bottom one )

It's a bit clearer to the eye. Hard to get on camera. My husband thinks it's an undeniable line. It came up within 5 mins. Thanks

27 weeks now and really starting to feel the fatigue creep back in as well as getting horrific lower back aches and sudden cramping/spasms in my calf and feet. Anyone got any recommendations for great pregnancy massages or reflexology in Beckenham, Bromley or Orpington?

8DPO I swear I see a vvvvvvvfl but I think I have line eyes

We are due end of April and not sure if we can afford a doula for birth and postpartum help. Anyone hire a doula? When would you recommend is best time to have one and if they felt worth the price? Any SF area Doulas you loved or would recommend?

So I’m 4 weeks and 5 days and I rang my local midwife to refer myself and she hasn’t rung me back… should I chase or wait

I have terrible line eyes, not sure how many DPO I am

Hi with my first at 19 I had to stay in hospital 2 days which they said was to watch for withdrawal symptoms from keppra on baby. Second baby at 22 I went home within 2 hours of her being born. I'm now 34 and 12 weeks pregnant with my third. I have had one seizure this pregnancy after being 3 years free due to medi...

I’m currently 9dpo can anyone else see the line on the bottom one ???

I’m stressed! My uc hasn’t added in my childcare element. I handed proof in on time etc so not sure what’s happened? Anyone experienced this? I’ve wrote to them but obv nothing back as weekend

I bought this one from Argos but on the instructions it says not to be used in pregnancy? 🙈

Is anyone going to have a doula? How do you find a good one?

My partner says its not there but I feel like it's really obvious to me, can you see a faint line? I hope so, it would be my rainbow baby 🌈 Is it too faint for 12 dpo? My last pregnancy I got a positive 8dpo!

I’m getting mixed messages from google
