Just found out today I’ve got GD and I am absolutely gutted. Any advice on good meals and how to control it would be greatly appreciated please 🙏😔

Sooo I had an overnight stay at L&D because I was contracting every 3-5 minutes and I was actively dilating. I got sent back home the next day at 3cm because my contractions slowed down. If you’ve had previous pregnancies, how long until you went from 3cm to being in full blown labor?

How many weeks early is it safe for a baby survival been a premiee

I know I’m only 8dpo but I swear I see a line just looking at the test. Nobody else can see it that way so I inverted it and I see this faint line. Am I crazy?

Anyone else 8dpo? Longest week of my life!

Has anyone else been disappointed with maternity care at Broomfield? I haven’t had a midwife appt since 16 weeks (22 now) and my next one isn’t until 35 weeks. They just don’t seem to be bothered!! Don’t have any of my growth scan appts, or a consultant appt I’m supposed to have at 28 weeks. Had my first boy at Bas...

Thank you to everyone who commented and shared there experiences. It really helped me go into it a lot calmer. If I’m honest I don’t feel it’s done a whole lot for me. She just told me what I already knew and just kept apologising for how bad it went. In a way I liked seeing it all laid out but I requested that she ...

If you get a 1-2 weeks On a clear blue after getting a very faint line positive would you say that’s 3 weeks pregnant or 4? I feel like 3 weeks pregnant is too early to be detected 😂my cycles are irregular so I can’t use my period to effectively date.

Since trying for baby #2 I’ve had two losses so I’m nervous. From the top it’s 9dpo am, 10dpo am, 11dpo am, 11dpo pm, 12dpo am. Do they look okay?

I took a clear blue this morning n it said 1-2 weeks meaning im 3-4 weeks but that can’t be correct! Has this happened to anyone else.

I'm 38 weeks exactly today, baby is head down at midwife appointment but still not engaged How can I get her engaged? 🙃

Would you all agree my peak was yesterday?

Why does a turkey sandwich sound so good while you’re pregnant all of a sudden

Is there the beginnings of a very faint line here or have I gone cross eyed? Only 8dpo 😵‍💫

I was told I had an allocated midwife at my first appointment at like 6 weeks. However, now 15 weeks bad haven’t heard from here. I’ve had all my appointments and that just not heard or met her. There’s no number for her sp can’t chase this up either. When did everyone here from theres? Thank you

How do I get this? Do I call the midwives up and ask for it? I’m just over 20 weeks and had my scan but don’t see my midwife until I’m 26 but ideally need the form now

Hello I am five weeks today so I brought a clear blue thinking I’d see 3+ but it’s come up 2-3? Has this happened to anyone else? Do I need to wait until I am a couple of days past five weeks? Should I be worried?

Had my 34 week midwife appointment today and came out feeling so deflated. I have consultant appointment next week to discuss c-section (I had an emergency with my first). Was talking with my midwife and said I was hopeing to have baby between 37-38 weeks pregnant and she said to me don’t get your hopes up. I am s...

I didn't have the same experience with my first one kn Derby so I'm confused please shed some light before I go mad on my GP surgery🤣

Hey everyone, Due August 10th just had 12 week scan wondering if I should tell people and how to. I don’t know why I feel so scared to tell people. Anyone else feeling the same way or how did you tell friends/ work colleagues
