I have a consultant and honestly I don’t feel like it means a lot of differenceI've been told I will have consultant led care for my current pregnancy due to my previous gestational hypertension induction. Can anyone advise me on what this means/entails? Had my booking appointment tonight and I've struggled to retain what the midwife saidthank you in advance x
I still see the midwives but I have extra appointments and extra monitoring (no extra scans yet) at our local hospital and they have me in around the same time I’m due at the midwives to basically do all the same tests and ask the same questions. It’s the basic tests each time and they ask how you’re doing and would maybe send you to triage if anything was off. The only thing they really do is chase up my other consultants for advice and I’ve had appointments with other specialities much faster. I’ve like 8-9 weeks left so I’m not sure if anything else would change, it probably would if they weren’t happy with any of my test resultsOmg this is beautiful 🩷🩷🩷 Born at home and delivered by Daddy made me emotional. Congratulations to you all 🩷🩷🩷
Omg this is so cute!!!Had my 3d/4d scan today and baby girl did not want to cooperate.She’s positioned head down and was facing my spine so we couldn’t see her face at all, she only pouted at us a little.

It was perfect - our second was born at home and delivered by by husband too, although that time it was comple unplanned! It was definitely a much calmer affair when we were expecting it to happen!
I was meant to be consultant lead due to history of depression, had one phone call at about 18 weeks and that's been itI've been told I will have consultant led care for my current pregnancy due to my previous gestational hypertension induction.

I have had weekly growth scans from 28 weeks but that was due to being a smoker so I think it really varies from trust to trust!aww this is cute!!Had my 3d/4d scan today and baby girl did not want to cooperate.

I need this baby here now!Unfortunately not, I don’t think rescans are a thing where I am
Yeah I’m not sure if this was really worth 100€ tbh but I’ve mostly seen such great photos and I went with my mum and MIL and it was still such a cute bonding experience, just shame about her position. It is great for the birth tho but even the doctor said that there’s no reason for her to be doing all that so early! Compression socks, lots of water and get up and move around as much as you can. I have been running so hot during pregnancy so I’ve taken a handheld fan on the flights I’ve been on which has been a lifesaver! Oh and sit on an aisle seat so you can get up and go to the loo easily.
baby is measuring fine though weight on the 49th centile and is just a bit tall - and I’m really short so she has nowhere to grow but out 
So exciting! I always thought this too, some days I was soo constipated and it defo made a big difference to how big I was and how much I could feel her, but my midwife was like “no.. that’s not a thing”I had to go for a growth scan as my bump was measuring >97th centile. Was absolutely DYING at the thought of being diagnosed with gestational diabetes right before Christmas
I also have been suffering with bloating and constipation so I personally feel my stomach was just large because of that
So lovely to see her though and the sonagrspher even made sure to get some good pics of her face which we weren’t expecting 🩷🩷
