Did i take my test too early?

I've been having symptoms everyday. I feel a flutter in my stomach. I've been pregnant before and it feels the same but the test was negative. I took it the 6th day should I have waited a little longer? My period tracker says my period is supposed to come Saturday. Idk what I did wrong. I don't think I'm imagining this is happening.

I usually test once I miss my period so I say maybe waiting a couple of days. It could still be early

I took one 3 days before missed period with my son. If you can't wait (like me im very impatient 😂) just wait till you get closer :)

It could definitely still be too early!

I didn’t get a positive until this past Friday and only got a faint line. I was 5 days late. My friend didn’t get a positive until 1.5 week after her missed period.

I am 13 weeks pregnant and my first 3 tests were negative. I took them too early 6days 5days and 4days before my period. I was having symptoms and I remembered them cause I have been pregnant before. I'd wait at least 3 days before next period. I ended up thinking I wasn't then found out when I was 3 days late on my period.

Heart murmur

Took my 4 month old to the GP yesterday for something unrelated and when checking him over they heard a heart murmur. That didn’t say too much and scheduled another GP appointment for next week. Just wondering if any other mummas babies have had one and what their journeys were/if baby just grew out of it. Thank you x

UK Mums: If you had an assigned midwife for your first pregnancy, but not your 2nd. Were you a bit disappointed?

For my first pregnancy I was blessed with having an assigned midwife that I saw every appointment. She was absolutely amazing, so I guess I was spoiled in that sense. This pregnancy, I see a different midwife every appointment and I am a bit disappointed. Before anyone jumps on my back I know it is not guaranteed to have an assigned midwife. It is just hard when each midwife answered my question differently at each appointment and it took the epilepsy clinic (was referred due to having seizures in the last) to give me the actual answer. I also keep getting told that if I have any general questions to contact MAU, but I always thought they were there for urgent matters? Anyways sorry for rambling, I am just a person that feels at ease with consistency 😭

Burnout

I have the odd day (like today) where I feel completely wiped out, without energy, physical especially, even if I had we good night sleep. I try entertaining baby as much as I normally do but it's a lot! Don't know if it's burnout or what.. will mention to gp in case I have some deficiency but again it's not everyday. Baby is only 4 months, am I too old?? And we'd like another at some point 🙈 don't know how mums of multiples do it

First time leaving the house with newborn

Has anybody managed to step outside since the baby arrived? We were considering starting super local, 10 min by car to somewhere where we can go on a pram walk or cafe. But we were wondering if this is safe, given the baby has no vaccines yet. What’s everyone doing?

36 weeks and baby is breech

Got another scan booked for Wednesday but if baby doesn't turn I have 3 options ... What would you go for?

I'm really torn on what to do :(/

Braxton hicks

Where do you feel these in your belly ? Top or bottom?

How regular do you feel them?
I’m having constant period pains low down getting worse each day and lost lots of clumpy snotty looking like discharge yesterday
