Experiences at mk adau?

I went there today due to reduced movements and although my main midwife was lovely, the others seemed to not want to be there and very standoffish. I also feel like I didn't get any real answers before being told i could go. They just checked heartbeat and that was it.

They forgot to book my dating scan and had me going between departments and still haven’t given me one at 14 weeks! Been calling everyday for updates, with no luck even though I’m registered… my first actual midwife’s appointment is in 3 weeks… I’ll be 17weeks by then!
I told them I just want to make sure everything is okay, I’m really big right now and I don’t even know if I’m having one or two… all they said is “as long as your boobs still hurt, you’re still pregnant”

Two or three midwives were nice, the rest are rude and can be quite nasty.

Don’t be scared to name them in your feedback!

I have been in 3 times for reduced movements and bleeding and although most of them were lovely and friendly, I also feel like I didn't get any real answers as to why these were happening before being told I could go either. And there were definitely 1 or 2 that were quite standoffish and seemed like I was wasting their time

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

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?

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
