Are you planning a Homebirth?

I had a health visitor come out I think it was around 28 weeks, she did look around my house and asked about safe sleep spaces and lots of questions about us as parents. Could it may be this?
It wasn’t bad at all though, she was a lovely health visitor

I've not really had such a call yet and didn't realise this was something they did? Did they say why?

Sounds like a health visitor coming to do a pre birth visit.
I’d also recommend just asking about it with your midwife next so you don’t need to be nervous

Hi i have one next week i think its just to check things out and speak to u about things im 28 weeks

Please what ever u do don’t let them in your house sometimes they lie

Wen I was 28 weeks pregnant they did a risk assessment on me but it didn’t go well because they were trying to say I was harming my daughter and that the house was not safe for her making me look like a bad mum so please my dear don’t let them come to your house

I havnt got kids yet and i only jusy moved into my palace so its not fully done but im almost der

Pregnancy anxiety

Hi lovelies💕 currently 38+3 now. Ive found myself the past week or so waking up in a panic that something is wrong with bubba. I think it’s because I’m so close to seeing her🥹 Anyone else relate?😞

Second trimester nausea

Hi! I’m currently 16w1d and thought the nausea and vomiting would’ve eased off a bit by now but if anything it’s worse than it was in my first trimester. I can’t even drink water without having to run to the loo. I’ve been prescribed cyclezine as an anti-sickness medication but I can’t even keep that down. Is this common or something I should be concerned about?

History of hypertension

I’m pregnant with my second baby and am due in January. I’m high risk because I had hypertension with my first and had to be induced cause she was small. I’m going through the same thing with this baby with her being small and having ultrasounds every other week to check on her. My hands and feet go numb very often and with my first that was a sign I had hypertension. They are worried I will get it again, however, my back has been going numb and I’ve been having my hands go numb for 10 minutes at a time. Should I try to see my obgyn asap or should I go to the er. No one has been able to give me advice and I’m scared that I have hypertension and they have already scared me into saying I might get preeclampsia and have more complications than my first
