So jealous!
Seen a few ladies post in here about bhcg blood tests and it's making me jealous! Where in the UK is that a thing you can get?! In my county, you can only get it privately and I dont have the money for that. I know you can get it after recurrent miscarriages but I've only had 2 so they wont do anything.
I'm so scared things arent progressing as they should! Im 4+3.

Could you call your local Early Pregnancy Unit and tell them you are concerned? Hopefully they can sort bloods for you
I am the same! I haven’t even contacted my GP yet because I got told that they literally don’t do anything until you’re like 12 weeks? I will definitely be going for a private scan at 8 weeks but they don’t do bloods
That’s so sad, I can imagine the worry! The actual system isn’t great. I have been lucky with my local EPU 🙈
I had my hcg blood test done at epu, I’ve had 1 ectopic loss x

Struggling to eat
I’m 28w 3d and since about 26 weeks I’ve been losing my appetite. I have extreme fatigue and can’t sleep at night, sleep all day and have no motivation to eat. I usually don’t even get hungry and struggle to eat even just one meal a day. I had an increase in appetite at 24 weeks but that came with nausea. Simply getting up to get something to eat I get Braxton hicks and get uncomfortable for hours after eating.
Before I got pregnant I’d regularly skip days of eating again because I was just tired but I’ve made real efforts during my pregnancy and the hunger was real during first trimester.
I’ve maintained gaining a pound a week so far in my pregnancy, even gaining back what I lost during first trimester.
I don’t know if it’s normal or stress related but my family is stressing about it and constantly telling me I’m starving my baby, but I’m just not hungry.
What can I do to help increase appetite or fit in extra calories without eating but still getting enough nutrients?

Unity NIPT Timeframe
I'm in Florida waiting for my test to get to the lab. Nervous because for some reason my doctor's office deleted the appointment from the records where my nipt test was taken. How long did it take (especially if you had yours done on a Friday) to get the confirmation text from Unity that your sample was received?
Also, did they put it in the same profile as your last pregnancy?
Pretty sure my doctor never marked me "present" for my appointment so it just dissappeared. It was only supposed to be a dating ultrasound but since they said I was 10-11 weeks I needed blood work. They never even gave me a confirmed due date. 🫠
