Hey , i was diagnosed about 3weeks ago. Its taken me that long to find out what foods work for me. So it might be a trial and error at first, but dont give up. I found it difficult and mentally tiring. But now okay with a balance of cheese, corn cakes, olives and berries and nuts 🙂 so far water with a squeeze of lime for drinks, and ive got to full fat milk now as I got told that is better for us with GD. But that might spike for you depending on how your body reacts. Ive also beenunching on a lot of raw veg, cucumbers, peppers ect.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
