Pregnancy pain

I don’t get why so many posts are being put up of people saying they are in pain from different things and why they aren’t just contacting their midwife instead of putting it on a site where people that aren’t medical professionals are on? If people are concerned they should be seeking advice from their midwife not random people on this app, everyone’s pregnancies are different so one pain for someone could be for a completely different reason for someone else.

I guess most people find comfort in knowing if others are feeling similar things at a similar time.

I’m sure the majority do seek medical advice. However, they may not be seen straight away and will be seeking comfort from others knowing they are not alone. Personally, I can never get though to my midwife straight away and I bet I’m not the only person here having that issue. If posting and getting some advice from others settles some anxiety, then let them. I don’t get why your post is so aggressive.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

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?

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!
