Same here, my next appointment is at 28 weeks and I believe the one prior to that was around 16 weeks. Really unfair 😞x

It’s because it’s your second pregnancy I’m not sure why either but I have my next at 28 weeks too. You can request an appointment my midwife give me the choice but with all my scans and GD test I chose not too have one at 25 weeks and said if I have any problems I’ll call.

Unless you had complications in the first pregnancy they aren't too worried about apts in the 2nd. I'm having a lot of apts but baby has a congenital abnormality and I am high risk pre eclampsia as I had that last time as well as at risk for gd and suffer hyper mobility

My next is 28 weeks also. I'm high risk (1st Birth was pre term at 34 weeks) and this is my 3rd pregnancy. I'm a little happy to wait to 28 weeks as I have appointments at hospital on average twice a week for me and baby. But I do contact midwife when I feel I need to in the meantime.
My 2nd pregnancy was a lot easier but I was happy to wait for midwife at 28 weeks also as I wanted to enjoy my pregnancy without constant appointments. (The area I was under for 2nd pregnancy dropped the ball on my care so they didn't flag up high risk pregnancy for extra hospital appointments) my 2nd pregnancy was full term with no health issues for me and baby.
This 3rd pregnancy is definitely my hardest with HG sickness, insomnia from very early on, pelvic girdle pains, mental health, and also diagnosed with auto immune disorder during 1st trimester (was bed bound for nearly 3 months before diagnosis!!)

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! 🥰

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?
