hi... i am filling out the antenatal booking history questionnaire and there is a section on previous pregnancies, is it compulsary to inform of a previous termination as i would rather keep this confidential information. thanks

im 29 weeks pregnant and have been told my baby isnt thriving. they are hoping i can go to 36 weeks. does this mean i could go in to early labour or will b induced? is it safe for a baby to be delivered at 36 weeks? help!!

Wonder if anyone has advice???
My friend is pregnant and she calculated her due date to be the 27th March from her last period and conception date. She has had 2 scans and her midwife has told her that her due date is the 20th April which is over 3 weeks later than normal calculations.
Should we be worried about her and her baby as there is a possibility that they let her have a pregnancy of 45 weeks.
We keep saying she has her period and conception date wrong but she said that its impossible.
{shock} a very worried friend

I am a midwife too

thanks for that upagumtree they arnt regular so i think you might be right

Another midwife here, but just like ellasmum tend to stay clear of the advice threads. Holly, sounds like a UTI (urine infection)you should get that checked out and also lins it could be braxton hicks you're feling, but like I always say, "if in doubt get checked out"!

Good luck girls x

hi. can any body help me please. i am 38 weeks 3 days pregnant. for the past few weeks i have had constant lower back pain. the past couple of nites i have been woken up with the pain and it seems to spread from my back round to my lower stomach to the point where i cant breathe. i try to change position but nothing works.i also sometimes can feelmy stomach tightening. this lasts about 10minutes then just goes away. also baby is still quite active and when she moves it feels like she is pressing on something down below and it is very painful. this morning i have woken up to back ache yet again follwed by the constant feeling of needing to go the toilet but i cant push anything out and also feel quite sick. can any body tell me if this is just really bad braxton hicks or the real thing? also baby has dropped alot!! thanks

I have just found this thread, I am so pleased other midwives are using mumsnet, I joined as a mum of three. I will try to help with advice and support if I can.
