16 weeks midwife appointment

Really annoyed I’ve not been given my midwifes number only have triage number.

I’m 17 weeks when I have my next appointment this Friday but still not had any confirmation when my scan will be. Does anyone know how I can get this information?
Also what do they do at the 16 week midwife app

I had mine today- honestly not a lot. Checked my BP, gave me my blood results from my 8 week appointment and asked if I had any thoughts on birth plan. That was it. I also don’t have a number for my midwife just triage. However my scan date came straight after my 12 week scan nothing to do with midwife so might be worth calling to chase?

I have my midwifes number but don't bother contacting her anymore, I just got a letter sent thru abt scans and that was it, she went thru some q's and got to hear baby's heart beat n that was it

Not an awful lot tbh! They took/checked a urine sample first, I had blood pressure checked, was asked a few questions about movements, how I’m feeling etc and she booked in a few more appointments for me (not for my scan - that was second through the post) and that was it

Was a bit of a pointless appointment I felt, though nice to put a face to a name.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Braxton hicks

I’m currently 34 weeks and have been experiencing braxton hicks for the past few weeks however have been having cramps almost like very strong period cramps In my lower stomach. I’ve mentioned this to my midwife and she only really asked if I’d been keeping hydrated and taking my vitamins which I am but didn’t really proceed to tell me if this was normal or related to braxton hicks also, has anyone else experienced this?

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?
