Hi! I am 35 weeks almost 36. Second pregnancy.

Birth Notes from QA

Hey, has anyone requested birth notes from QA? If so when did you request yours and when did you receive? I’ve been waiting 7 months for my notes. I saw on here 8 weeks ago someone requested theirs a week before I did and they received them so I’m interested to see if mine have been skipped or something. Thanks!

Not showing 3+

I tested and got 2-3 weeks last Saturday but the 3+ hasn’t come over the last few days, a lot of people say they have been 12 weeks pregnant and never received a 3+. Has anyone else experienced this please? My normal tests are super strong instantly but wanted to ask you all! Thankyou
