Just wondering if anyone else has started to really struggle opening bottles and jars etc? No idea why pregnancy would reduce grip strength even though google says it can!

I started a new job in the middle/end of October. I am now 15 weeks, almost 16 weeks, pregnant. When do you think I should inform work I’m expecting. This is my third pregnancy now, so I imagine I’ll start showing soon. Right now I just have some bloat, and a bit of weight gain, but nothing to give it away that I’m ...

My first blood draw at 4w2d was over 600 and then at 4w4d it was 1300… anyone else have really high HCG? Or have had this in the past? Thinking it could be twins 😮‍💨 To add: we went through fertility and did IUI and I had two eggs drop, so there very much is a chance of twins

One midwife told me I should see someone after my 20 week scan but I never did and then I haven't had an appointment come through since for seeing one and I'm 23 weeks tomorrow now... Should I chase...

Hey 👋 up to now (37+5) all has been well in this 2nd pregnancy. We’ve been under consultant care as previous child had FGR and getting extra growth scans. Last growth scan at 36 weeks showed a big jump from 28th centile to 57th centile and now my consultant has had me tested for diabetes as a possible cause. Just…
