Hii, so I have my first midwife appointment at my GP tomorrow, this is my actual midwife you know the one we get assigned to at our 12 week appointment? They’re known as a community midwife, I had one booked for my last pregnancy too but unfortunately didn’t get to go to it. So if anyone has had this I want to ask...
Do I have line eyes or am I seeing something ?
With my son I just saw the midwife. But after him I had 5 miscarriages so they've put me on consultant led care. First appointment 7th April. Not sure what to expect.
Wondering about the bottom 4 line progression from yesterday to today? 13-14 dpo! I’m testing wandfo and Premom which are different sensitivities. Wondering if I should get betas drawn
Another pic in comments. I know I’m anemic. But is this preeclampsia too?
I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 37+1. What did you eat and drink? And what was your birth experience? Im feeling so overwhelmed and in the dark by the midwife’s.
So I’m 4+4 today and 21dpo. A week ago I got my 1-2 and now all of a sudden I’m 3+! Does this make sense? I only tested to see my 2-3 😂
Anyone here been identified to have gestational diabetes in 16 weeks of pregnancy and can share their experience (what to expect,how did they control, any tips)?
Has anyone not done this? I’m 38 weeks with my second and I remember trying to do it with my first but struggled and gave up.. I also had an episiotomy so wondering if that’s a reason I should do it more, starting to worry as the midwife goes on about it!
I just need somewhere to rant where I feel like people will get it!!! Today I called the GP because my daughter has chicken pox and we think some of her spots look infected. They said you can’t bring her here as she’s contagious, and we have no appointments anyway. Go to pharmacy. I call pharmacy, they say we can ...
I’m maybe just hopeful lol but is there a really really light line there…I saw it within the 5 mins
28 weeks today (3rd trimester 💙💙💙some days I wonder if I can get any bigger 😆
The midwives had me do another Glucose test and it's confirmed I've got GD. I'm 37 weeks pregnant tomorrow so I'm very close to the end. I'm only 30, and low risk this entire pregnancy. I'm very very certain i want to deliver in the birth centre though. Does anyone know how this late diagnosis might impact me?
Am I going insane or is this the faintest tiniest line?
Is this line too faint for 4 weeks?
4 weeks 2 days pregnant, I do spin class 3 times a week. I’m still wanting to keep this up during pregnancy, I’ve read it’s safe to do if you slow down slightly etc. is this correct? Didn’t work out at all during my last pregnancy and gained so much weight and was super unhappy.
Just found out yesterday that I'm "technically" prediabetic. Anyone else? Any tips? I just started phentermine today, and I'm working funds around for a gym membership. I love water, and a lot of the foods and things that are pretty bad for me are foods I don't really like anyway. Just sharing here bc I don't know ...
Recently I have had some symptoms and had to wait 4 hours to be triaged but the dr I have seen was so rude and told me off since I was quite anxious. I had contractions and I didn’t know if my symptoms would affect my baby(32 weeks). I am very upset with the service that I have received and the midwife has lost my c...
Does anyone know how involved the care team are throughout pregnancy? I’ve had my booking appointment today and I’ve been assigned my midwife and care team on badger notes but I went to school with 2 of the midwives on my care team, one of which I really don’t feel comfortable with.
I called my gp surgery, they asked me to create a badger notes account. I tried to sign up for it, but it requires a passkey given by midwife. I looked up midwifes for Newcastle areas and found some contacts on nhs website but they don’t pick up the phone and it goes into voicemail and they don’t contact back aswell.
