Consultant review

Hi, so I’ve had loads of appointments through for consultants however I haven’t got a scooby why I’m seeing one? I have an anterior placenta I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it? Any ideas??
Thank you :)

My consultant appointments got booked in automatically as I have high BMI.

Think they give them to you if you have anything that may make you high risk, or if anything was slightly out of the ordinary if you’ve had any previous births.

In your notes is there a checklist of things your midwife went over at your booking appointment? I'm seeing one because of previous birth trauma but also have a tick against consultant led for being over 35

Im under a consultant due to having an autoimmune disease, will be having 4 weekly appointments from 28 weeks, give your midwife a ring im sure they will be able to explain to you xx

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

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?

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?

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!
