Who do I contact first? Midwife or GP

First time pregnant. I’m experiencing so much nausea and I’ve been vomiting every meal up for the last 8 weeks. It’s been intense. I thought it was normal but now I’m at my wits ends and wanted to contact someone about medication!!

Do I go to my GP or Midwife? Who’s my first point of contact??

Thank you guys!

I’m in the UK

My little one has arrived 💕

My little May bundle of joy arrived yesterday safely via emergency section (was a planned section but ended up going into labour the night before).
She shares a birthday with her big brother who turned 19 yesterday 💙

Our hearts are full of love and we can’t wait to take her home later.

Would you have another baby after haemorrhaging during your last C section and your waters breaking at 30 weeks?

I have always wanted 3 children and am lucky enough to have 2. However during my last pregnancy my waters broke at 30’weeks, with me giving birth at 35 weeks via c section after some heavy bleeding. I also bled a lot during my C section as this was my second C section and almost had to have a blood transfusion.

Advice

Im nearly 20 weeks and I keep getting awful pains in my lower belly and back (similar to period pains) and sharp stabbing pains in my right side, my belly goes like a rock when this happens and is lasting around 10 minutes each time. Does anyone know what can help ease this and what it could be please? Iv tried lying down but it seems to help worse when I do.

Is this my body preparing or early labour?

I’ve been having what feels like cramps from Sunday, they have continued throughout the day and are worse at night but they are very spaced out. I woke up with cramps today but not so bad I couldn’t carry on with the day.

Yesterday I had a lot of pressure and lightning crotch even though baby isn’t sitting low yet.

I’m 36+5 and as I’m having dates, raspberry leaf tea and trying to collect colostrum each day I’m wondering if this is early signs of labour or my body just prepping. What has everyone else’s experiences been like?
