Hi all, When did everyone have their first midwife appointment?? Mines end of May and I’m 6 weeks, feel like I’m being dramatic but it feels like such a long time away and I’m super anxious. Keep convincing myself it’s all gonna not be real😩

Can anyone see a line?

Can I ask what does it mean when people say they are for instance 33 + 3 weeks, what is the + bit for ? If I am 32 weeks pregnant I am unsure what the plus bit is?

Think I’ve got line eyes but can anyone see a line? Not first morning wee and I’m about 10dpo I think. Period due on the weekend

I don’t know if I’m tripping. I see something but I’m not sure

Hi, I haven’t been provided a number for the community midwives at Kings House in Bedford and I urgently need to reschedule my appointment for next Tuesday. Does anyone have the number?! I’ve never seen the same midwife so don’t have a specific number for anyone. I’ve tried the community number so many times but no ...

Can anyone else see a faint line? 12 doo today x

Hi all, has anyone got any experiences to share of water birth and having diabetes? I'm type 2 diabetic but very well controlled and everything seems fine so far. I would LOVE to have a water birth but I've been told simply having a diabetes diagnosis rules me out. Can I push back? What is the best way to do so?...

Only 7dpo but I swear I can see a line. It’s only visible at this angle with the sun from the window though. Am I going mad!?

Is this a faint positive or indents? Colourless without flash but can see without flash?

Did anyone not struggle with hayfever before pregnancy and now does post pregnancy?

I am 4 days PP and I’m really struggling with constipation and pain in my bum (as well as recovery from a forceps delivery with a very deep tear) to the point my husband found me crying my eyes out feeding our son at 3am as it was just so painful to sit down I know you can get cushions to sit on but they don’t loo...

Does anyone see it ? 10dpo

I’m 5 weeks pp and my line is still going strong 😭 how is everyone else’s? When can I expect it to go its horrible 😢

I need some reassurance with my line progression pls. How is it looking? Be utterly honest with me

I have been suffering from recurrent thrush and it is driving me insane! Has anyone had this and what treatment was offered? I have had the pessaries from the GP, I don’t have gestational diabetes but it keeps coming back. I’ve heard it very common in pregnancy due to increased hormones but it’s exhausting!

Anyone successfully fell pregnant again after 2 early chemical pregnancies? 🙏

Taken same day, one at 9am (5am to 9am hold, 4hrs, didn’t drink anything), the other at 2pm (9am to 2pm hold, 5hrs, drank about 700ml). If anything the urine was more concentrated at 2pm. Which is weird because I drank in the afternoon but not pre-9am.

Any pregnancy and post pregnancy book recommendations? What have been your favorite books?

Hey, so I found out I was pregnant last week, called my GP who said I need to call EPAC, who told me to go onto a website to register my pregnancy…. Is this normal? What happens next? I’ve experience miscarriages before and I’m very anxious, just want to know the process and how long I’m waiting for the first appo...
