I'm keen to find a good yoga app which will keep me moving and flexible during pregnancy, I'm hoping for a natural birth so it's got to help, right?

Anyone see the start of something in this pic? 8dpo.

Does this look like a peak? 5 months pp

Hi everyone, My little girl is 4 months next week and exclusively breastfed. I know breastfeeding can make you crave sugar a lot more but I’m eating a LOT of it to the point where my other half is getting concerned😅😅 He’s getting concerned because I had GD and borderline having type 2 diabetes. So at the minute…

These First Response were all taken today, from first morning wee to late this afternoon. The first one was really faint, so I took the others. I feel like I can see a okay line progression here but my issue is, I also took a clearblue, and it had only a really faint line this afternoon. Is it possible that the firs...

Does anyone know what any of this means lol? I have been left a voicemail that my midwife needs to speak with me about my results and I’m so anxious. Also don’t understand why the top 4 haven’t been put on there but the rest have? Is it common for them to want to speak about results. Thank you x

Can I get everyone’s opinions on my line progression please? It starts at 10dpo and last is 14dpo today. My cycle is 35 days so I’m unsure if I’m 3weeks 4days or 4weeks 4 days. I think it’s the 3 week 4 days. Recently had a chemical and a previous loss at 7 weeks so feeling nervous. Thank you

FTM trying to gauge how hard 3rd will be. I know everyone’s different. I currently travel 1.5 hrs (car, train, then shuttle bus) to get to work (desk job) and 1.5 hrs back. I do it 3x a week and live where it will probably get to -20 C in the upcoming winter months. Thinking back to your previous pregnancy, at wh...

Does anyone else have doctor offices who will take days to respond to their inquiry? I'm taking an antibiotic and started feeling abdominal pain. The medication says to contact your doctor right away if something like this happens, so I wrote to my doctor yesterday. No response. I write back today, and it's nearly t...

I literally posted yesterday I’m 9 dpo and I just want there to be a line so bad

I take x2 200mg daily. Will I be on this for life now? My GP keeps saying it could be a possibility. I really don't wanna be on this for life; I have health anxiety and it's just messing with my mind lots. And stealing a lot of my focused mind from my boys. I am 3 weeks PP and I am very much in my mind. 12/1...

Just been diagnosed with GD at 29 weeks. I feel okay about it and have an appointment on Thursday with the specialist team. The only issue being I found the phone call with the midwife a little odd. They haven’t told me my results or uploaded it on to the system and she just told me I have a teams call on Thursday...

Ladies has there been a line progression? These are a week apart, I should be 6+3 but have no symptoms and I still am not getting my 3+ on clearblue I am so worried something is going wrong I can’t work out if they are progressing or not 😢

What are people’s thoughts regarding a doula ?? I would really love to have a doula l feel they are better more connected to mum and baby. MORE supportive that’s my opinion anyways. Do share your thoughts 😊

Has anybody had a experience where they have had to change their midwife? (For my uk mums) how did you do it? I need to change my GP so will I get a new midwife or do I still have to request one? I heard you could message them if you had any questions or concerns or if you needed help with any symptoms, mine has lef...

I’ve just been told I have GD at 29 weeks and feeling incredibly deflated. I’m now in a bit of a flap as I feel like everything’s very real now as I know it’s not uncommon to give birth pre term. I’m also worried about controlling my blood sugars. Can anyone make me feel a bit better please? Has anyone had a pos...

Hey everyone, I’m not really sure what I’m wanting from this post but just feel the need to hear from other. So backstory. This is my 2nd pregnancy and my 2nd with GD. First day was induced at 38+4 due to GD and possibly a big baby. This ended up in an emergency section and baby boy being a ting 6lbs 5oz Fast for...

Okay I just got diagnosed with GD at 31 weeks. I need all the tips I am not great at eating vegetables and love carbs so this is going to be extremely hard for me

Hey, So I had my first midwife appointment at 7w. My blood results are on the app badger apart from 4 and just had a voicemail to say they want to talk to me about my results and will call back tomorrow. I am now so nervous as I have serious health anxiety so was wondering if this is the normal or not??
