Advice!!

Hiya!! So im consultant led which I’m grateful for as I had a 16w loss back in April this year, tests were done, genetics were done and nothing came of it (I know before 20w it’s chromosomal issues!)

Now in this pregnancy I have had to have 4 scans already (6,8,10 & the 12) and I’m BEYOND grateful however I was told by letter that I need to have a 14 week scan and then again at 16 because of last time which is fine. I’m 14+1 today but haven’t received any type of letter for any kind of ultrasound for 14w!! I have nobody I can really contact as my birthing centre is not where I’m giving birth & I don’t know wether I should contact the bereavement lady I have a contact for to see if she can do anything for it?? As I’m getting a little stressed by having not received a letter for one when I was advised I need one at 14w!!

Any advice appreciated xxx

Can you contact your midwife?

I don’t have my own midwife! I don’t have contact details for my consultant either which is annoying!

I wonder if perhaps your GP could refer you for it?

Even if it’s not with the usual consultant/clinic that you’d go to and with a local hospital

Do you know the name of your consultant? Should be on your notes. If so, contact your local hospital ’switchboard’ and ask to be put through to your consultants secretary

Thank you everyone! I’ve tried to contact but not had much so I will just have to wait and see!!

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Congratulations mamas as we wrap up the second trimester and start the last stretch! 26w and 4d over here. Have a good day!

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
