Midwife involvement question
I am 15 weeks now, and I have only met my midwife once for the intake appointment. She was lovely, but I haven’t been able to get in touch with her and my 12 week and 20 week scan have been scheduled in another hospital.
Wondering if this is normal and how others have gone about getting information/advice from their midwives between appointments.

Yes sounds normal.
You should have a midwife appointment again at 16 weeks.
Then again at 25 weeks.
Then after 25 weeks the appointments become a bit more regular
You won't see your midwife during the scans.
For urgent questions there will be an emergency number for the Labour ward
Yes normal, you don't see them much in the beginning.
They booked my 15/16 week appointment at my booking in appointment. Did they not do that for you ?

Cramp in my right side
I honestly don’t know what to do, I don’t know what it is but it’s hurting a lot. I’ve got this cramp feeling below my stomach on my right side, it started as lower back pain on my right side but it’s gone to the front but only on my right side, I’ve took paracetamol but it’s been happening since half 8 last night and still hasn’t disappeared and I don’t know what to do😩is it braxton hicks? I’m really struggling to understand what these things feel like and it’s stressing me out.

31 weeks- waters?
Had a really weird experience this morning! Had sex and about an hour later went for a wee- had gone for a wee before sex too but then 5 mins later a gush of clear water liquid came out of me down my legs, over my hands. Not a trickle but not a puddle. Anyone else had this?
We went to MAU and cervix is closed and it wasn’t discharge so we’ve been sent home and told to monitor and monitor symptoms. Baby’s not engaged and moving lots.
Just feel like we need more answers than that?

Is it okay to have a birthday party on a Sunday? (Child will be turning 4)
May seem like a silly question but we’ve only ever been invited to parties on a Saturday 🤣

has anyone else noticed their bump seems smaller?
i’m 15 weeks on saturday and my bump pic today looks so much smaller than the pic i took at 12 weeks. i’m wondering if it’s the bloating that’s gone down in the second trimester but i can’t help but worry. this is my second baby so i expected to get a bump a little earlier this time around but seems to be smaller.
