If you've tested positive prior to period but now after period due date you're testing negative, I'd say either the tests were faulty or you've had a chemical pregnancy? Because tests should still say positive now if you were? That's just what I know of it anyway. Go to docs and get bloods. Xxxx
Hello ladies , id love to join !!!! finally got a digital this Morning !!! Xoxox silly question. This is baby number one for me , but how long after you get a positive home pregnancy test do you call you midwife For blood work ??? XXX congrats to everyone 💙💙

Congrats, welcome!! I'm in Scotland and we don't get any blood test here to confirm pregnancy. the positive home test is enough. I called on my gp, told them i'm pregnant and they booked a midwife app for when i'll be approximately 9 weeks.
It all depends on where you live. Maybe the procedure is different where you are!
Don’t worry everyone! Period pains are totally normal and it indicates that things are going well! I missed my period 3 days ago and I’ve had those pains for weeks! My Dr said totally normal, a lot is going on in tgw uterus right now!
Sorry to hear you’re leaving the group Stuzy I had a miscarriage too. Let your body heal and try again it will happen. Unfortunately it just wasn’t meant to be.
Csavs thanks for the congrats! Where are you based? I have my first midwife appointment on 4th Oct - I’ll be 8 weeks then.
Congrats Rachel!
Congrats to all the other ladies on here!
I‘m 4 weeks and 5 days today. I no longer have stomach pains but my breasts are really tender and I’m really bloated! My sister is getting married on Fri and I’m a bridesmaid wearing a tight fishtail dress! I can’t wait for her wedding but I’m dreading squeezing myself into the dress! Just feel really uncomfortable at the mo!
YES to insomnia! I have noticed that I fall asleep ok because I am so tired, but I wake up in the middle of the night and its difficult to fall back to sleep. I read that it is normal and a symptom of progesterone.
Miracle999, I am in the north east of England. I only just managed to get hold of midwives today. Group appointment 18th September then one to one 25th. Private scan 22nd.
Yes to the insomnia got it so bad so I am shattered all day.
Yes !!! thank god it’s not just me. I woke up last night around 12:47 am and had to peee soooo badly. Finally got up at 2 to pee and still couldnt fall back asleep! Finally got a few hours before getting up at 6am for work !

No I’ve not experienced insomnia - poor you Rachel - how long are you awake / sleeping for?
Hi ladies,
After getting my positive result 1st September I have contacted my doctors who said no need to go in just wait for the midwife to contact me.
From my calculations I think I am 5 weeks 6 days from the first day of my last AF.
I still haven’t heard anything from the midwife - how long does it normally take for the midwife to contact you?
Thanks Amy xx
