Chicken pox - 22 weeks pregnant

Just after some advice please! I’ve been around my younger brother quite a bit the past few days, and he’s just come out in chickenpox despite having them before! My mum reckons I had them when I was younger, am I best still contacting my midwife or GP to let them know?

Thanks in advance!

We had a similar scenario. I had been around my niece with my 7 week old and she came out with chicken pox. I called the GP and they said, to keep an eye on my little one's temperature, mood and skin.
They also advised, if you have had chicken pox in the past and are breastfeeding your body will be giving them antibodies needed to fight anything.
Luckily we seem to have avoided it, hopefully you guys have too and are able to get the vaccine soon.

Ah thank you so much! I figured it would just be a case of keeping an eye on myself and seeing how I get on. Will have to look into getting the vaccine as I’m due my flu jab anyway

If you've had them before you should be okay. They won't harm the baby

Cramping after orgasm

Hi everyone,
Just looking for advice, I masturbated twice early with just stimulation, I’m 13+4 weeks and I’m just about curious how long you cramped for afterwards, I had the initial cramps that lasted for about half an hour, but now they’ve been on and off throughout the day since orgasming. Is that normal to have cramps on and off throughout the day afterwards ?
This is my first pregnancy so any advice is welcome 🤍🤍

Anybody else?!

So I recently just moved back into my dads house bc my husband wants a divorce and I just found my ultrasounds from 20w 5d and I was wondering if anyone else is genuinely missing there baby being in there belly instead of not and if you guys also hate how fast they are growing up.

Newborn

My friends baby is now 2 weeks and mine is now 3 months. When is it okay for me to visit her and bring my baby with me? Or does that matter?

10th Centile at 28+4

I had my midwife appt yesterday and she measured my bump, she plotted it as over the 100th centile (my bump is a lot bigger in this pregnancy compared to my first) anyway she felt my tummy and she said ‘baby feels really big’ so she referred me for a growth scan the same day.

I went to the scan and it’s now showing my baby is on the 10th centile… is this something to be worried about? I never had this with my daughter so I can’t help but worry that he isn’t growing as he should be🥺 has anyone else had this?

Leak from upstairs flat.

Has anyone experienced a leak from above that wasn't so obvious? But was definitely there.. trickling through the walls and causing stains? Wet and musty smell? I have evidence of a leak somewhere coming from above. But the neighbours are denying it. What can I do ???
