Has anyone had a mean doctor with the nhs? I went to an appointment today and was mortified at how I was spoken to by a male out of hours gp - I get UTIs all through my pregnancy so just needed antibiotics again. Has anyone else experienced someone like this? I have never had a mean one before. I could’ve cried 🙈
do you use the term “gave birth” even though you had a C-Section ? I never know what to say , I always say “my son got ripped out of me” 😂

Can I eat roe from the chippy at 3 weeks pregnant?
I am currently 21+4 weeks pregnant, today I was doing dishes and the baby moved into a super painful position (where my fingers are in the photo). I couldn’t stand up straight, had to go to our bed on my hands and knees, my fiancé said he could feel the baby there. After light rotations the pain went and the baby mo...

Noticed a little leaky patch on my cushion after sitting a couple hours (definitely not pee haha 🙃) - what do you ladies think? Watery discharge or amniotic fluid leaking? Anyone else experienced something similar? Thanks!! 💜
I had my section 8 days ago & just wondering how everyone who’s had one is feeling, how’s your recovery so far? I was super surprised how well I was the first few days and even managed a 3 mile walk But now I get regular sharp pains in my incision on one side and I’m having to take it easy
I’m mostly feel movement just where top of my knickers are. Well underneath the bulge of my stomach. This normal 😅

Anyone else not able to actually pin point like a routine to babies movements? I’m 25+3 and have been feeling baby move for a good 4 weeks now but there’s no routine to it really! It just stresses me out as midwife has said obviously if there’s any change to the babies normal daily movements then to go get checke...
I saw my midwife about 3 weeks ago and she said because of previous large baby and c section that she’s referred me to see I think she said a vback nurse I could be wrong but something like that I got a letter through last week with an appointment I just wondered if anyone knows what this is and what happens💙
I will be 43 and having my fifth child in October. I'd like a section but there's no particular reason. I would like to be sterilised at the same time, I'm worried about a potential prolapse (all previous vaginal births) I've also had one very fast labour. I'm worried this one might be the same, and I'll end up on ...
