Midwife really told me off today. So honestly how many of you carried your maternity notes everywhere with you?

Took them with me if I was a long way from home (ie 200 miles). Tried to remember to take them if I stayed away overnight, mostly forgot though.

I did for both my Pg's
Look at the halo above my head

I got told my by my midwife that you should carry them regardless but more so if you work far from your home or have a long commute incase you are involved in an accident and are unconscious and unable to respond to simple questions on the state of your pregnancy.

Since then I've carried thema round relgiously for both pregnancies as I have horrible train and tube journeys every day. Consequently they are very grubby, dogeared, and look as old as me - but am too nervous not to carry them around incase I'm in a train crash or pass out on the tube!

Only if we went on holiday. I took them to each midwife appointment but that was it.

i did, but i have a history of bleeding in pregnancy, m/c's, and also have a heart condition so never felt safe not having them with me.

I did first time as I had complete placenta praevia that could have led to massive bleeding at any time. But with dd, no, of course I didn't.

I left mine in my car

Nope ! I only ever took them with me when I had midwife/GP/hosp apt.

But then, I am the person who was visiting my parents who live in a different county, 5 days overdue with DD2 with no notes, no bags, nothing ...... when my waters suddenly burst

I lost mine with dd1 as we moved house the week before I went into premature labour, I got a huge telling off.

I carried mine everywhere.

But then again, I had an obsession with going into early labour. Well say obsession, more like wishful thinking.

god no, didn't even think of it - & had complicated pg first time round ...

Erm, no. I managed to lose mine!

Yes, I did. Don't they tell you that you should?

I started showing signs of Pre eclampsia at 31 weeks.

have to admit that i do this time, but only cos i got told off so much for not having them with me when pg with ds

Everywhere? All the time? With one or two other children to lug about too? Not me. Did take them if i was staying away from home though.

Yes - DP used to nag me...I even used to carry them in my caot pocket ;when walking the dog

I keep them in the car just in case.

no. just to appointments.

left mine in bedside drawer in jamaica. mw not best pleased. hotel ACTUALLY sent them to me to my utter disbelief.

here in singapore dont even get any. all kept at your obstetrician. you have a tiny red appointment book which i guess would be the link to your doctor if someone has to rush you in an emergency and your non compus-mentus i guess.

I flew abroad and airport security swabbed mine for traces of explosives?!

just took them to appts but did take them with me to san francisco when i was 27 weeks with dd1...and called mw from hotel as i felt peeky (was told to rest..)

I never carried mine round
with exception of antenatal appointments
