Maternity allowence have lost my mat!1 will my midwife give me another one

She is now sulking saying we are limiting her. No- just don’t presume you can stay 11 days- we have a life!

Anybody else feel like the ante natal appointments were just a tick box exercise Measure bump, check BP and urine. Not once did she talk about post natal physical health problems or how friends painful a vaginally delivery is!!! Also did not even discuss what pain relief I could be offered. Also when I told her ...

Hi! I have decided to resign from my job and not return to work. I've been asked to write a resignation letter but not sure how to? Would I still be owed holiday pay?

I am getting prenatal care at “PeaceHealth” hospital and I am receiving a TERRIBLE care! They said I didn’t have UTI, and if I hadn’t insisted, I would have gone home without antibiotics. Plus another problems O found every time I go there, the list is big! For those of you receiving good care during pregnancy, ca...

I just realized that I still have an appt scheduled with my PCP but I haven’t seen her since I got pregnant. Is anyone seeing both their OB and their PCP while pregnant? My OB’s nurse said that PCPs tend to treat pregnant ppl like aliens so my OB would probably take over until baby gets here but I wasn’t sure what t...
