Consultant appointment felt rushed

I've just had my first telephone appointment with my consultant after being referred for low BMI in my booking appointment. She called early as she was running ahead of schedule which was fine. However, I felt like she was rushing through the conversation and couldn't wait to get me off the phone. Any time she asked...

36 week midwife appointment

Hi girls What happens in your 36 week midwife appointment? I’ve just saw a few tik toks of swabs needing to be taken etc but is that only in America? I know in a few weeks my dignity isn’t going to be there anyway but I’d rather be prepared to need to lie there with my pants down at this point 😂 As you can tell…

Dye stealer🥹🤞🏼✨🌈

Think we got the start of/a dye stealer today at 4wk +4 🥹 Also a bit scared as the line progression has been helping with reassurance after a previous loss but I know once I get that 3+ on the CB weeks test I won’t be able to use that anymore….🙈 Going to do that final one on Thursday when I’m 5+1🤞🏼✨🌈

Should I report?

During my cervix check in early labor for my induction I asked the midwife to stop mid cervix check because it was painful and she straight up ignored me until she finished and then said while smiling “sorry I was just almost done” and then left after telling me how dilated I was. I thought about reporting her but d...
