Midwife concerns

I’m 34 weeks now & as lovely as my midwife is I feel like she is a bit dis organised and all over the place.. Iv not had my urine checked the last 3 appointments, she told me baby was head down and sent me for a growth scan (bay measured over)to which baby was breech growth was fine but I know that’s normal.
My iron was really low at 28 weeks and I have had concerns but she didn’t do repeat bloods this week.
I’m having a home birth and she’s on call as my midwife which is making me more anxious. I’m on my fourth and never had any issues before am I over thinking?

My home birth team are really short staffed and I’ve not seen the same midwife twice throughout my whole pregnancy 😵‍💫 I’ve had to really chase them and be on top of my care this time round unfortunately. Sounds like this lady could be slightly stretched too…

Pregnant at 5 month pp

Hello,

I have recently found out I’m unexpectedly pregnant and feel stressed! Has anyone been in this situation or have any words of advice of having such a small gap? Thanks x

Also currently on mat leave so will probably only go back for a few weeks if that 😭

I thought it was supposed to be easier to breath towards the end of your pregnancy?

I’m 36 weeks and I’m STILL DYING TO BREATH :/

Crazy question

I don’t know if it’s just me or what…? Before I got pregnant I had a really good immune system barely got sick and never had to go the doctors. It just seems like after I had my daughter I’ve had two doctor’s appointments because I was sick. I know my hormones are still crazy, I’m 11 months postpartum.

Body preparing or early labour?

I’m currently 35 weeks with my third baby. At my midwife appointment last week I was told baby’s heads engaged and she’d be surprised if I make it to my next appointment on the 13th. I felt fine at this appointment and didn’t realise baby was engaged. I’m absolutely terrified now and maybe overthinking every little twinge.

For the past few days I have felt increased cervical pressure and lightenings. I’ve been losing little bit of mucus from about 32 weeks. My bump has dropped significantly and I’m absolutely exhausted, to the point I’m waking up from a nap and ready for another. I’ve also been having a lot more braxton hicks, off and on period like cramps and lower back pain. There hasn’t been any tightening when I’ve been having my cramps.

Am I just over thinking it all and getting myself stressed for no reason? I can’t remember the build up to labour with my other children

Body preparing

I’m 32 weeks. Baby has started to drop and get in position, mucus plug is coming away, Braxton hicks and increase in back pain. This is baby number 2 and definitely feels like my body is getting ready. Now the long wait to see if I’ve still got the full two months to go 😂 if anything, these signs are just telling me to get the house and bags ready because there’s only so long it can be put off 😂
