Has anyone requested to see their maternity notes from birth or requested a birth debrief? It’s something I’d like to do as I had a fairly traumatic experience and would like to find out some more details of what went wrong for me. I’m wondering who to ask for this? Would it be the community midwives, or health visi...

Is there a second faint line or is it a Evaporation line

I feel like Flo gives the best view of the chart (shown) but I track bbt using tempdrop so it tracks on there, the view is ok but a bit too zoomed in. I’ve also downloaded Premom to scan my OPKs

I had a chemical pregnancy last month… I’m hoping this one sticks!! Do you see line progression? ✨

For me, it’s been when I tell other women I am having a second boy and they say “you’re so lucky. Boys are the best. Girls are the worst.” I don’t understand how that can come out of another woman’s mouth.

I'm currently 7 weeks 4 days pregnant with my second baby and I've not heard from my local midwife team about an appointment. With my first I had an appointment booked it for 8 weeks. Is anyone else still waiting to hear from them? Should I resubmit my maternity care? Should I call them?

My newborn is really struggling to eat and sleep. We’re not only sleep-deprived but physically exhausted from constant rocking, shushing, and baby-wearing. It’s starting to affect our mental health and relationship—we’ve started arguing, even though we never did before. My husband wants to hire a night doula, but I...

I ...
