Has anyone not been discharged from the midwife yet and have an extra visit scheduled due to baby not being back to birth weight yet? My milk only came in on day 5 and we had lots of latching issues so my baby only gained 100gr since the last visit when he needed to gain about 250gr. Midwife said not to worry and it...
Is the midwife you see routinely a Consultant Midwife? I’ve just had the hospital call to say I’ve been requested to see a Consultant Midwife in 6 weeks but they didn’t know what the nature of this was, unless my routine midwife is a consultant midwife my understanding is that I’ve been low risk and would be able ...
Hi could anyone help me? my midwife asked me to start having a look at my birthing plan before my next appointment, however i cant find this bit on the app? she said theres a bit we can gradually fill in
Has anyone been diagnosed with gestational diabetes? I got told I had it on Friday and haven’t seen anyone yet about getting my sugars kit or any indication of what I should and shouldn’t be doing so Iv just been going as normal (probs not the best idea) a few weeks ago I had some “funny turns”, my heart would race,...
Vfl this morning again
Has anyone else been diagnosed with this ??? I’m 35 weeks and just found out. Idk whether to freak out or what … I barely eat and idk how or why I even got this diagnosis. Never had any issues before. I had a stillborn years ago at 36.5 weeks so this is very unsettling to say the least. I see the Dr. today but I PRA...
I’ve been told that I’m 4th on the list but that I need to fast. How is this safe? I’m diet controlled btw
Anyone had their appointment booked in yet? Still waiting on a midwife call to get booked in but been waiting 2 weeks now🫣 making me feel as if I’m not actually pregnant😂 probably why I’ve took 7 tests🙃😂 just catching me a bit off guard as with my first baby they called 2 days after I reported my pregnancy and…
So at my last appointment I was told I’m measuring 4 weeks ahead. We know for a fact that we did not mess up dates. We are going by date of conception as we know the dates of conception and I took tests everyday that week until I got my positive. I’m currently 25 weeks and 4 days. Not sure if the fact that I never...
I think I've got Line eyes!
Myo inositol ladies ! 2 days and my sugars have levelled out the best they have since being diagnosed ! I was recommended by someone else too and I’m so glad 🙏
Is there anything here
I swear I see some sort of shadow line, it’s definitely very hard to see and it was hard to capture on camera but I took two photos, one with flash and one without flash. The one with flash will be in the comments. Both captures were taken within the 5-10 minute frame
My tests this morning weren’t very convincing so I waited and tested again this afternoon. I’ve heard bad things regarding indent lines with this brand, but it’s all I have right now. Promising?
I'm just wondering if anyone else's 3 week old eats anywhere between 120-180mls of milk each feed. Or when they are on the breast they are taking upwards of 40 minutes and don't seem settled.
I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago and they haven’t told me much as of yet. I have a family history of diabetes so I expected I could have problems. My mom’s sugar has always been high and that was what I had expected. Mine isn’t staying high though. I will feel fine and then it will drop suddenly, it fell to 55 today and ...
