Currently 32+5. Since yesterday I’ve been having horrible period like cramps, loose stool, baby is moving as expected, possibly a little more than usual last night.

Hi, I haven’t been provided a number for the community midwives at Kings House in Bedford and I urgently need to reschedule my appointment for next Tuesday. Does anyone have the number?!
