I'm confused

Hey, I'm currently 5 months pregnant, and I don't know I feel a bit confused about the treatment/all round support. Maybe I'm just not understanding the level I thought you would receive when pregnant. And I would like to hear other people's experiences?

I feel a bit left to be pregnant, I haven't been taken through any birth choices, I have no idea where the ward is at lister, so like if I was full term right now, I would have literally no idea where to go in the hospital .. is that normal?

And when anything feels wrong or not right, the GP I can't get into, called the local midwife, told to call the triage and the triage said it's not an emergency and to contact my GP... Who I can't see because... Anyone at Larksfield doctors you know my pain trying to get an appointment.

I feel so disheartened and a little bit scared to be honest, where I feel like I need full faith and trust :(

Need a little reassurance!

😅 thanks in advance!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Braxton hicks

I’m currently 34 weeks and have been experiencing braxton hicks for the past few weeks however have been having cramps almost like very strong period cramps In my lower stomach. I’ve mentioned this to my midwife and she only really asked if I’d been keeping hydrated and taking my vitamins which I am but didn’t really proceed to tell me if this was normal or related to braxton hicks also, has anyone else experienced this?

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!
