To my bloody show images down below. My sister said hers did not look that clotted and the triage line has been coming up as ‘user busy’ for two hours!!

I’m only 10DPO but is there a faint second line or am I seeing things? 🫣 x

I got a text a few weeks ago saying the Scottish baby box would be delivered in a few weeks and parcel force would be in touch to arrange. Did anyone else receive this and if so, how long did you wait for parcel force to get in touch. I’m not in a rush for it but don’t want to miss it because I’m at work etc

Every single midwife appointment I have had, my midwife has been at least 15+ minutes late each time, sometimes I'm waiting 25 minutes...I'm so frustrated by this!! Anyone else experienced this?

I’ve recently been diagnosed with GD and put on insulin before every meal & before bed - I’m 24 weeks pregnant. My question is any GD mums out there who were on insulin did your baby come early and did they recommend you have a c section?

Hi, what (if any) exercise are you doing currently? I used to do a couple of gym classes (cycle or yoga) a week and sometimes weights before falling pregnant, but since being pregnant I haven’t done much other than walks on the weekend. I feel I should be staying fit and would love some inspiration or ideas?

Anyone know how long it takes for first appointment with Wigan? I'm really struggling to get in touch, every time I ring I have no answer, I filled in a self referral form 4 weeks ago and have emailed in the past 2 weeks. I'm 10 weeks now and have heard nothing. Id prefer Bolton as only a 10 min drive away but they ...

So despite being diet/exercise managed for about 6 weeks I’ve finally hit the point where my fasting numbers are just not responding. Starting bedtime insulin at 33w. Anyone else on insulin for fasting numbers?

12dpo mid day wee and hydrated oops

I have already had my peak and I am 3 days away from AF so what could be causing the darker result ? These are from yesterday and today

Hi all! How far was you gone when you got a midwife?? I filled an online form out 7 days and haven’t heard anything? I’m only 6 weeks 1 day but wasn’t sure when I should get one?

Today I got my booking appointment and I will be 10+4 weeks at the appointment. I read online that the booking appointment should be before 10 weeks? 🤔 Any thoughts? Is it worth phoning the maternity services back or is this normal. Anyone else in the same boat? TIA 😊

It’s my first pregnancy since then, I was about 16 weeks if I remember correctly. My booking appt is next week, would I need to tell the midwife?

The lab have said they will use my day 5 4bc over my day 6 5ab. I mc with my first which was a 5aa and have my rainbow baby from my 4bb. Trying to not get caught up by grades. Anyone have joy with a 4bc?

I applied for WIC over the phone 2 weeks ago and been waiting for an interview call like they said, didn’t hear anything yet so I decided to call today and ask. And the lady told me that I’m on a waiting list for my interview which is gonna be on March 31st but if people cancel they will call me sooner 😵‍💫😵‍💫 is…

Hi mommas Any recs on books to read during pregnancy? I am into self help and psychological thrillers but would like to read something pregnancy or post partum related. Thanks ☺️

Been “not trying” for 4 months now. I’ve never thought I’ve seen a vfl before so it could just be line eyes? I’m around 9dpo I believe and this was not taken with first morning pee (didn’t have a test at the time sadly) I will test again tomorrow with fmp but wanted to see if I was crazy about seeing a line???

Has anyone struggled to get an appointment to register Baby's birth? I keep checking online but it says unable to find an appointment

I chased last week but still haven't heard. Debating whether I should chase again?! Mindful of sounding really impatient/annoying but equally it's been 5 weeks since I put my referral in now...
