Is it just me or does my midwife not tell me anything

I read everyone’s posts on here about things there midwife’s have told them , I feel like mine doesn’t tell me anything she does my check up and that’s it , she’s so lovely but feel like everything I know has been from reading peoples posts on here or on Google

I feel the same!! Barely anything on my badger notes is filled in 🤣

I know ! It’s my first time too and people tell me things and I’m like what is that ect and there like hasn’t your midwife told you 😂 umm nope

everything I've learnt/know is from here or friends giving me advice, my midwife only does my routine check up, everything question I've asked her she tells me to look online for the answers 😅

I agree it might be a positive sign all is well with your pregnancy, but you should see her as a resource and bring all your questions to her. Mine is full of useful knowledge, and will share it all when appropriate and if I ask her.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
