They only really check baby, so depends if you would prefer to wait a little longer for that. Personally I don't think it really makes any difference, they just give baby a once over and ask a few questions, it's not particularly in depth.
You can ask them to check your scar too if you want them to, and 5 weeks is enough time to check it's healing ok.

My 6 week check was ‘what contraception do you want, how’s your mental health, bye’. It’s not very through so doesn’t really matter when you do it tbh

I HAVE A DATE!!! 🤭🤭🤫

Finally after 3 weeks of back and forward, arguing and complaints I can finally say I know when my boys will be born and my god is it a relief!

The person I asked today literally replied with ‘wait for a call’ but I said enough is enough I want a date now as I’m 36 weeks and they have to be born by 38 even if it’s just an updated provisional. Then A 2 minute call later and I have an official date (not saying as don’t want to jinx it) but ladies if you’re waiting on a date don’t let them piss you about !

‘Borderline’ high blood pressure

I’ve been had readings of blood pressure that’s ‘borderline’ high and one or two in which my diastolic was 90 and over since Friday. I’ve been sent to triage today after seeing my own midwife and was seen Monday, baby’s movements all fine, urine fine, no symptoms but they’ve done bloods and sent me home today with plan for my midwife to see me next week to repeat my BP.
I’m 35 + 2, just wondering if anyone else has had this and what they did? I’m just feeling drained due to worrying on and off and don’t know what to do for the best.
Any input is massively appreciated. Thank you ☺️

Getting worried

Does anybody else get worried having a toddler at home and something might happen with your pregnancy? My mum usually helps out a lot but is currently on holiday and my husband works shifts and I’m so nervous and anxious about what if something happens and I need to go to hospital and I have no one to look after or pick my son up from pre school.

Freckles- is it a concern?

I’ve noticed I’ve got freckles/dark spots on my breast which started to appear during pregnancy and now seem to be darker/bigger during breastfeeding/postpartum…I’ve read that the hormones can increase the melanin in the skin but just makes me worry if this is normal and if anyone else has had anything similar?
