Maternity Exemption Email

I seem to have deleted the email with my
Medical Exemption Certiticate and need this for a dentist appointment I have coming up.
Does anyone know if my midwife can issue a replacement certificate? Has this happened to anyone else before?
TIA!

Unless you deleted it ages ago or from your bin/deleted box it should be in the deleted/bin inbox of your email
No idea if they can issue another one
My dentist didn’t ask to see it back in February but hope you sort it x

I’ve already checked my deleted, I think I must’ve deleted it ages ago by accident and just haven’t noticed as I haven’t needed to use it 😣 x

You can ask the NHS BSA to reissue it if its lost.

You don't technically need to show it - just tick the box on the dentist's form as NHSBSA hold the records and check it when they get the forms back to then reimburse the provider. If you lie they charge you an enormous penalty, so they usually don't check at the time anymore (probably because the penalties make them more money 🙈) x

I've never been asked for it in both pregnancies at the dentist or pharmacy. As the above comment says you just tick the box ❤️

I’ve been to the dentist a couples times and they never even asked me for it I just told them I was pregnant x

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

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?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
