Hospitals

I am currently pregnant and have not had any scans or tests done (5 months) my midwife has sent out a referral for Birmingham women’s but they haven’t gotten back. I had my first child at heartlands and did not have a good experience therefore I do not want to go back there. Can anyone recommend a good hospital but not too far from Birmingham city centre.

She’s here 🌈🩷

Absoloutely delighted to welcome our rainbow baby this morning at 9:13am arriving with us at 37 + 6 just over two weeks from her due date. Absoloutely in love.

Just a rant!

Just getting frustrated over here- I have been on the list for an elective c section since my first midwife appointment. I will be 39 weeks tomorrow and still don't have my date through. Midwife says all I can do is wait and the hospital is very busy at the moment and lots of people on the list but assures me it will come through. It's not that I need the c section asap, it's more that I want to know the date asap. Part of my reason for wanting an elective is because I don't cope well with the unknown and thought having the date in advance would help. So frustrating but I guess all I can do is wait 🫠

38+1

I have my midwife appt today I am going to ask for a stretch and sweep- but this morning omg! - pressure has been unreal I keep getting random shooting pains in my lower abdomen and I’d say I have like 3 of these an hour - I’m also feeling this pain in rectum with constant intense shooting pains that take me by surprise, I’ve now legit had a full clear out but pain has not subsided, the pelvic pressure is that bad I’m actually unable to walk properly. Walking like a telly tubby Has anyone else had the same and gone into labour?!

Larger than average baby at nearly 36 weeks

So I've just been to a scan appointment and my baby is measuring more than 97th percentile. I've been screened for gestational diabetes which was normal and my amniotic fluid is normal. They have discussed for another scan in 2 weeks time and discussed induction at 39 weeks if still off the chart. This is my 2nd baby who came on due date naturally and was nearly 8lbs so this is all new to me. Anyone else experiencing anything similar to this? Anyone willing to share their experiences good or bad?

Boy 💙 or Girl 🩷

I had my 12 week scan on Tuesday and I was just wondering if anybody has any ideas if the baby is a boy or a girl just a little fun.
