8+3 and still no booking appointment?

Anyone else in the same situation? I haven’t been contacted at all yet and I’m 8+3. I registered ages ago on My Pregnancy Notes. This is my second pregnancy so I wondered if it’s not as much of a priority as it is for first time mums?
I’ve rang the community midwife number a few times but always no answer.
I know it’ll be different in every region, I’m in Staffordshire.

I needed to fill in a form separate to "My Pregnancy Notes" in Plymouth. I filled in on 28/12 and got a call today with a booking appointment (will be on the phone) for the 23rd. I would double check you've registered correctly hun.

I’m in Staffordshire too and it took them over 2 weeks to contact me and book an appointment. I’d leave it a few more days and then chase it up

I would keep trying to call

Because I have a choice of 2 hospitals and I have chosen the one the midwives are not based near I can book in with my local ones only after my first scan on the 7th feb( wish this day would hurry up and be here now) so won't see a midwife till 16 week check up x

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

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?

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?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

C section compression socks

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?
