Pregnant CannaMamas

Has anyone requested to see their maternity notes from birth or requested a birth debrief? It’s something I’d like to do as I had a fairly traumatic experience and would like to find out some more details of what went wrong for me. I’m wondering who to ask for this?

Which app do you use?

I feel like Flo gives the best view of the chart (shown) but I track bbt using tempdrop so it tracks on there, the view is ok but a bit too zoomed in. I’ve also downloaded Premom to scan my OPKs
