Queens

I’ve had to move to Queens due to location issues. I’ve heard many awful things on the news but wondering what your experiences are of maternity and emergency scans etc. are the staff nice?

I had a LOT of complications during my pregnancy, also had a 9 day stay after giving birth, queens were absolutely amazing through the whole pregnancy! Best choice I ever made having my baby there, amazing Midwives’s and doctors. Good luck xx

hell no. I’m pregnant with my 2nd and dreading the day I have to go back to triage for anything. the midwifes in there are so horrible. I had my first at 18 and I was looked down on so much. I was so anxious as it was my first time pregnant and especially with movements they was always reduced. I heard them making jokes about me. even when my daughter tried to come at 29 weeks gestation they told me I wanted her to come early on purpose I hate this hospital🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ doesn’t mean your experience will be terrible too. wish the best for you❤️

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Small bumps

I have a really small bump, at 27 weeks pregnant. People keep commenting on the fact my bump is so small and its starting to worry & get me down. Has anyone here had a small bump with a baby that weighed measured average size? Its really worrying me! I have a 30 week scan and one at 37 weeks because im on a moderate pathway - had a gastric sleeve in 2023 so its to check she is growing but as the comments are coming im now panicking where I wasnt before 😫

Early Labour?

I’m 34 weeks today, since 3am I’ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. I’ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself

7 w post c-section running

When is it ok to start running again? Health visitor advised to wait longer before running but did anyone start at 7 weeks and how?
I know I won't be running marathons any time soon and probably have to start back at a couch to 5k but when?! I'm getting restless legs! Advice please

28wk5days growth scan📈

I’ve just been to my first growth scan as my bump was measuring small, for the lady to say that baby should be between 2pound 2ounces - 2pound 5ounces and my baby is measuring 2pound 15ounces which is above average, any one else has similar measurements?x
