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...
In lovee with baby girls hospital bag and organisers🥹, but I’m literally so stressed about what we have to pack for ourselves to the hospital, idk if I’m just overcomplicating it though 😂

I had a c section 4 weeks ago exactly and everything went fine and recovery was amazing so I was back to normal within about two weeks . The past few nights when I have got into bed I have noticed that one of my legs is aching mainly at the top in my thigh . I am already paranoid about blood clots so my mind is g...
So I just had my lo 11/16 and he was a little jaundice but we got cleared for discharge 11/19. I’m concerned because his eyes are still a bit yellow. They cleared up a bit after giving him formula throughout the night but now seem to be back. I can post pics for reference but any advice? Has anyone else had this pro...
Mums, when did you start buying bits for your baby? And when did you pack your hospital bag? I’m 21 weeks and pregnant with my second but don’t know what im doing this time round 😂 baby brain isn’t helping!

It’s makes me physically sick, I hate it. I’m constantly grabbing my stomach or going in the foetal position when I feel movement to try and stifle the ...
How many women in this group have also had their baby already?!
Went in for my 36 week appointment and am 1cm dilated and 70% effaced. My OB told me if I get any contractions to immediately come in. I really hope this girl waits 11 more days so she’s a December baby! 🫣🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
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...
4D scans, did you have one? Are they worth it? Been thinking about it for a while now but my partner isn’t keen as he thinks they’re ‘creepy’ 😂
I’m 40 weeks today and I went to the toilet and when I wiped I had discharge more like clear and pale yellow ish. Has anybody had that and know what it could potentially be? I am seeing a doctor today to monitor the baby because he hasn’t grown drastically since my 36 week scan (only by 200 grams) in the space of ...
