Panicking 🫨

Does your doctor usually tell you if something is wrong with pregnancy before anatomy scan or they are usually waiting for anatomy scan to check all in details? My doctor usually doesn’t say anything during ultrasounds, he just hears heartbeat and measure 🤷🏼‍♀️

the ultrasound techs are usually not your actual ob/doctor. and they are not allowed to tell you anything. they have to let the doctor look it over and tell you.

I recommend asking your doctor after every visit, how your baby is doing and progressing. I’m sure that doctors are in a rhythm and unless there is something unusual they will let you know. Personally, I prefer the confirmation that all is good.

Mine didn’t tell me about my blood work results, ultrasounds, or weight until I asked about each one.
She even said, if there is something wrong I’ll tell you. But I ask either way.

And after exams she said, if I call you then it means we found something unusual. If I don’t call, nothing to worry about. I hope she never calls and I talk to her during my next visit.

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

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

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!
