Midwife appointments

Should I be concerned and complain that my urine and CO wasn’t checked at my 16 week appointment? I am high risk due to high BP I don’t want to seem like I’m overreacting but assuming this should be done at every appointment.

6 week check up issues

I phoned my gp when I was 5 weeks postpartum to book my 6 week checkup. I need bloods done for diabetes and iron, I have an infected c section wound, mastitis. So I'm really in need of this appointment. I got discharged from the midwives at 5 weeks on the condition of my gp checks me at 6 weeks as otherwise they wou...

Weeks check pregnancy tests

So I took a weeks check pregnancy test on the 19th December that said 2-3 weeks. I’ve took another today and it still says 2-3 weeks (which is the same result I got as the one I took over 2 weeks ago) Should I be concerned?😥

Confused

So I’m pregnant. According to my Obgyn and an ultrasound with them I’m 7 weeks 4days due 8/15. But if that’s the case I found out at 3 weeks exactly. Which would only put me at 7dpo when I took my pregnancy test and it was a digital test. To me that just doesn’t seem right. To me and how I tracked everything I shoul...

should I be worried?

Today I’m supposed to be 5 weeks. Got blood drawn yesterday and this is my number. With my last pregnancy, I was at 209 at 4 weeks. Then with my 1st pregnancy it was 121 at just a little over 4 weeks and that one resulted in a loss at 9 weeks. I don’t get seen until early February.

Rant

Anyone find these first few weeks until seeing a midwife weirdly lonely? Women go through their absolute worst in the first 12 weeks and we're left isolated. You are debilitated and have a higher chance you could miscarry...yet we're told to basically ride it out. Thank goodness these apps and forums were created wh...
