As the title say I’m pregnant with HSV2 but I will be going to labor and delivery with my mom and dad. What is the check in process like? Will they bring up my status in from of them when they go over my medical history or in the delivery room when they check for an outbreak?

No they won’t reveal your history in front of your parents that’s a HIPPA violation. They will give you antibiotics before you deliver so that it doesn’t transfer to your baby!

They really will barely mention it to you unless your having an active outbreak but they won’t or should I say shouldn’t bring up sensitive medical information like that in front of anyone

Just tell them your family don’t know and you want to keep it secret let them know and they going to share with the staff what you want

They ask in the beginning while u in triage and then once you go into labor and delivery, they never bring it up high as well was diagnosed and had a baby eight months ago and they told me that it is so common now that they treated like they would treat a patient with asthma don't worry too much about it and good luck.

That’s private but you can communicate it verbally so you can feel a bit more secure. “Just to be clear, I don’t want ____ to be discussed in the presence of others”. It’s common sense but this is primarily for your peace of mind.
I’m 37 weeks today (it’s 1:28am) and I’m having reduced movement. I usually feel baby going crazy at this time but he’s not moving much or at all right now. he is usually active between 12-4am. do I wait a little longer or should I ring triage and go in??
everytime I’ve gone in for reduced movement, baby has been PERFECTLY fine. In fact he starts kicking the second i get there. I’m also having a perfect pregnancy, there is no health issues or complications. I feel like this is important information to add as it explains why I’m worrying but not toooo much. I’m sure everything is fine but what do you think?
Should I wait or go in?

Only putting this here as I don’t have anyone to say this to 😂. Started collecting colostrum today at 36 weeks. I’m getting induced at 37 weeks due to little one being on the smaller side so I was advised by my midwife to start collecting this week. I managed to get 0.5ml this morning after 10 minute(might have been more if I didn’t miss the syringe as no one told me how fiddly it was 😂). For my first time collecting I would say that wasn’t bad at all.

I am currently 10w +3, I had my first midwife appointment last week. She mentioned about the screening for Down's syndrome, Edwards' syndrome and Patau's syndrome and that this would be done at my 12 week scan if we wanted it. I know it’s only to advise if the chance is higher or lower of the baby having this but I’m sooo torn whether to have it! Just looking for a bit of advice really, do most people have this testing done? Is there anyone that didn’t?
Thankyou

I went for my 16 week appointment with my husband and my midwife managed to find the heart beat with the Doppler today. It's the first time I've been able to hear it because in my scans they didn't let me hear it. It felt so surreal and I can't stop listening to it. Baby also kicked when she was listening. I just can't wait for my 20 week appointment now to see baby again and hopefully find out the gender. The heart rate was 140 today

Yesterday my waters broke at 40w and 4d at 6pm.
I was kept in hospital and started on the gel straightaway. I had that at 2am this morning and apart from twinges of pain in my groin it doesn’t seem to have worked. I’m on the list for labour ward to start on the drip but have been told by a student midwife it could be a couple of days as they are busy.
Surely when your waters have broken you can not be left that long? Very worried about myself and baby.
