First IVF appointment

I had a referral from my GP, and I choose the clinic (only 1 option listed).
As the website said to be seen might take 19 weeks, so I sent a message to them and requested an ASAP appointment. The automated message from them was that if they dont contact me by August, give them a call.
They didnt send me any text or email confirmation about the appointment they gave me in July?
If I didnt sign in on the app I would have missed it.
Is this normal that they forgot to nofity people about their appointment?

What do I expect on the first appointment? Questions to ask.
Is it only me or my partner as well who needs to attend?
No wording about that in the letter.

It's good to bring your partner along. A large percentage of cases end up being due to male factor infertility or mixed infertility, both partners.

For the longest time, they said to me of it's you the woman. Guess what. After many failures and changing doctors 4x, 4th doctor finally figured out the problem was him!

First c-section.. unplanned

Hey mamas

I just had an emergency c-section and now I’m at home struggling how to get out of bed and not use my abdomen, sitting or laying back on the couch to put baby to sleep and struggling to get up without help.

Any tips?.. or things you mamas have used that helps with healing?

I’m terrified of tearing the wound open or not healing properly.. :/

Hospital complaint

Has anyone ever made a complaint about the hospital they gave birth in after a bad labour experience?
What was the outcome, and did you feel like it helped or gave you any closure? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences ❤️

My mil doesn't know I'm pregnant but she suspects it

So I am 5 weeks pregnant (found out Friday) and we have not told many people, especially my mil cause she doesn't like me very much and I wanna enjoy my pregnancy. However she does suspect I'm pregnant because I stopped smoking and we keep telling her I'm not. It's driving her crazy and I kind of find it funny lol

..

People who get induced when it’s not a medical emergency annoys me. Everytime I make a post asking about labor or anything regarding natural births somebody who willingly got induced comment like your experience is not the same. I’m trying to learn and hear about natural experiences
