Milton Keynes Hospital

Hey has anyone else been classed as a high risk pregnancy and had zero support from the midwives at Milton Keynes Hospital?

I’ve been classed as high risk and now 28 weeks but they’ve given me no bump growth checks, no Doppler checks, only had 2 urine checks, but I’m also under the antenatal consultants who asked me a few questions at 18 weeks and then did my glucose test. Luckily I know how to check my own bump size and have the urine test sticks at home to check my levels.

Considering I have a history of miscarriages and had an ectopic pregnancy December of 2024 I thought they would have been more cautious to check baby and me.

I’m actually now really considering a home birth as I’ve got no faith in them at all.

If you’ve been classed as high risk you really should be getting closer monitoring. I actually had a similar experience where my midwife wasn’t even checking my urine at appointments which worried me so I ended up changing midwives and felt much more supported after that. Sometimes you really have to advocate for yourself with the NHS. I would recommend contacting maternity triage and asking for a review and to get booked in for growth scan especially with your history of miscarriages and an ectopic. You can also ask to see a different midwife or consultant if you feel you’re not being supported.
From what I’ve seen though once you’re actually in hospital and giving birth they do support you and take good care of you. A home birth might not be the safest option if you’re high risk, so it’s definitely worth pushing them for the care you deserve beforehand

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers
