Does anyone know, if after two recent chemical pregnancies, would EPU do an early reassurance scan?

Hi! At what point after c section are you wearing a pad or diaper? Is this something that midwifes are taking care of when you are still under the anaesthetics or should you wear it when going into the theatre? How does it work like in UK?

Anyone else have to wait till january for their first appointment ill be 10/11 weeks by then.

At my 27week appointment on Tuesday they told me my bump was measuring 4cm smaller than it should be, they called and referred me for an emergency growth scan. They told me I should receive a call with an appointment on Wednesday and that it would be last minute but booked in before the end of the week. I stressed a...

It’s my first pregnancy and now 29 weeks, when do I start having growth scans? I’m just really curious and eager to know how my baby is doing or growing okay. I heard the midwife say 29cm when she measured my belly with tape on my 28th week but haven’t heard anything from my midwife or during appointments about scan...

I seemed to have some spicy food last night and now I went toilet (number 2) wiped myself and there was fresh red blood. It was only on one wipe. The second time I wiped the tissue was completely clean- can this be a sign of a miscarriage? I am 4-5 weeks pregnant

I have a little girl called Ryleigh already and am expecting our second child early next year. Don't know the gender. With our first, if it was a girl we always knew the name but struggled with boy names. Thankfully she was a girl and made it easy for us. Now however we are not in love with any particular name so ...

I’m slightly freaking out I had a early scan due to ectopic in the past but I noticed she put yolk Sak uncertain at the time she said she thinks she can see something but too small to see with my son they managed to see at 4 week 6 days the yolk sac should I be worried?

did any of you go back and forth between an elective c section and vaginal? can i ask what tipped you over the edge? i am scared of things like prolapse/urinary incontinence/vaginal laxity/labor generally. but am also concerned about potential associations between c-sections and obesity/asthma/autism and the lack of...

Is anyone else experiencing pressure in their bum?

Anyone else having more nose bleeds?

How early can midwife hear baby heartbeat

New baby girl coming feb. Her sisters name is Kali… We like the K theme in the fam (my husbands name is with a k)

I don’t know if this is a stupid question or not, however who am I supposed to call and when? People say if you’re concerned to “call your midwife” how do I do this? Where can I find my midwife’s number? Is it for just one midwife or the whole team in my area? Honestly not a clue 😂

The past few days, I've been getting a strange feeling. It's exactly like it feels like right before you get a period. That weird cramping where you know blood is about to start. But it's like a dull cramping. And around the time it started, I was having really bad lower back pain that seems to be getting better n...
