I’ll post the invert in the comments 😬

Hi all when do we actually start discussing this with our midwife? Especially those ones that are high risk? I'm 30 weeks currently and have another monitoring scan in 2 weeks.. I'm gunna ask during that appointment

Due in 5 days my boobs are killing! I swear I can see a faint line!

I went to a family member's house for a bday celebration, I'd forgotten they were doing food and we weren't planning to stay for food but ended up staying because the birthday boy turned up late! Everyone else was eating and it felt super awkward to not eat anything and I was starving, so I gave in and had a couple ...

I just saw in my pregnancy app that I’m positive for gestational diabetes mellitus, my pregnancy went from low to high risk 😭 what does it mean? Has anyone going through this? I can’t control my crying

I had my 36 week midwife appointment yesterday. I would have expected them to measure my bump, check if the baby is engaged at all, or if I'm at all dilating... But nothing, just the usual run of the mill tests. Got another appointment in 2 weeks so hopefully all those nitty gritty things are looked at because other...

Have any mamas been diagnosed with hypoglycemia while pregnant. I don’t have gestational diabetes as all my numbers are on the low side. I’ve been struggling so bad with just feeling tired this entire pregnancy only to find out it’s because of blood sugar dropping…. It’s my own fault for not eating/snacking in betwe...

Does anyone here work for CEX? I ordered a new phone online and somehow the delivery/billing address is missing the first line 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ so I checked the tracking information today and it says returned to sender. I’ve filled out the enquiry form online but how likely is it that they’ll update the address and…

Strange question maybe but I like to be prepared haha What week does the community midwife usually start needing the check things “down there” at scheduled antenatal appointments? I know it should be last of my worries but I hate those kind of things and just don’t want it to be sprung on me in the moment.

I'm 11 weeks and just got my bloodwork done and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and now on levothyroxine just looking to see if anyone else has been diagnosed with this and what to expect. My doctor wasn't much help and just called me to let me know to go pick up my new medication.

I see a line, it’s faint but I feel like it’s there. Thoughts? TYIA.

i’ve just received an appointment for a anaesthetic appointment!!! what does this mean? it’s set for 24w

Hi all, Does anyone have any recommendations on pregnancy books? Both for myself and my husband. Also interested in any books regarding hypnobirthing. Any recommendations appreciated ❤️

I think I’m 11 or 12 dpo. The app seems to think a test line is visible and I can maybe see a shadow. I had very light spotting yesterday and assumed my period would start today as that’s quite usual for me to have a 10 day LP but no period yet and the spotting stopped.

When should I expect to see 3+ on a digital test? I was 2-3 weeks on Wednesday

If you are pregnant at any stage and are trying to book on to go on a trampolining park. How would you feel if the staff member asked you "are you pregnant?"

Anyone using a doula/used one in the past? What was your experience like?

Hi, I’m just wondering who people contact when they’re worried about something in their pregnancy? My midwife asked me to send a text but I don’t really want to wait for a reply and would rather call someone but unsure who? Is there a maternity triage?

Are there any mamas out there that have a little one who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes? What led you to get them tested? What were their symptoms? How old were they when diagnosed? How much does it cost? (In canada) We have concerns that our 4 year old is type 1 since it runs in her dad's family and it would ...
