It hasn't been too bad with work, i've just needed extra time off for appointments with both my midwife and the hospital. The preeclampsia tests at hospital can take up to 6 hours depending how bus...

Poor you I'm 35 weeks and have just gotten over a similar flu. I had 2-3 vicks inhalations per day to help clear up my nose - with one just before I went to bed. Just a teaspoon of vicks in a b...

I'm 35 weeks and can completely sympathise! As much as I love my beautiful bambino, I am so over the pelvic pain, the 10-15 trips a night to the toilet now that he's dropped and just generally fee...

You could probably do a preggy test in a few days then hun and check? It's the only way you will find out for sure... I did a first response test a few days before I was due, at around 4 weeks beca...

It seems pretty early for you to be getting cravings! That said, I had a few sneaky suspicions I was pregnant at this stage and I was... spotting at 2 weeks gave it away, then at 3-4 weeks I was a...

I'm 31 weeks as well and was talking to the midwife and OB today about bubs position. They said it's still a bit too early for bubs head to engage and that wouldn't happen for a few more weeks, so...
