21 weeks pregnant , still no midwife

Morning all, I had my 20 weeks scan on Tuesday and was told that I should have been assigned a midwife by now.

My contact details are correct with the hospital and was told I should get a call this week but I still haven’t heard anything.

Should I be worried or concerned ?

I think you should have midwife appointment at the beggining of pregnancy. Iff i were you i would not wait . Call them every day untill they will assigne you a midwife. Is not fair iff you have any questions midwife will help. 🙏

I have a midwife but she never gave me her contact number lol
So whenever I have concerns I have no one to ask nd she doesn’t even see me until 3 months later

You definitely should’ve seen a midwife by now. I would contact your GP surgery and keep chasing x

Depends on the hospital. I’m with UCLH in London and never see the same midwife/don’t have an assigned one or a direct contact. I’m 23w and it’s just gonna be this way until birth! If people have issues they just call the general emergency maternity line and that’s it, someone will pick up.

it is just really different
In my first pregnancy my midwife was so amazing
She attended to all my concerns
There are days I am in so much pain I call the triage they say call ur midwife
Days I my brain hurt
So many things but I have no one to ask. I call the gp they never have appointment 🤦🏽‍♀️so it is just amazing how they work now

Happened to me and it’s just sloppy and careless. I called my gp about it and they lined one up for me and now I get have them stacked up from the ones I’ve missed

Thats crazy how you haven't been seen yet! 😲 you should of had an app anytime from around 8 weeks to take blood/urine sample & you're history then again at 16 weeks. Deffo phone you're docs on Monday they will have a community midwife that comes in weekly x

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?
