Meningitis outbreak worries

Is anyone else worried about this meningitis outbreak?! I’m in London and slightly freaking out with being so heavily pregnant now! Maybe I’m being silly but just hope it doesn’t spread further!

The outbreak is caused by the meningitis B virus. Anyone born before 2015 didn't have this vaccine, anyone born after it will have had it.

Go to your GP and request the vaccine ❤️ xx

It’s spread through saliva (sharing vapes, kissing, coughing, sneezing) it’s not airborne which is a positive! Speak to your midwife, but try not to panic yourself too much! I’m in Kent but just ensuring to sanitise as much as possible x

Twin pregnancy with anterior placenta

Hi twin mums, looking for some advice please. I’m currently 20 weeks with an anterior placenta. This is my first pregnancy and I’ve felt no obvious movements…..I occasionally (2-3 times a day) get what feel like period pains briefly in various locations which I assume is them moving and causing some stretching of the uterus?
Is it normal to not have felt obvious movement by now?
Thanks in advance ☺️
