I've been out for short walks whilst my partner looked after him but he was born early and was quite small so didn't feel comfortable. I do feel quite anxious about taking him out still and the days also fly by. Did anyone el...

Hey mamas I need your opinions please. I’m currently 14+5. When I went for my booking appointment last month, my midwife noticed that my blood pressure was reading slightly higher at 134/89.
