Anyone know of a good massage place where I can get a deep tissue massage in Croydon? Someone suggested I get a massage as Two months after delivery, still having body pains and the nerves on my neck are stiff and painful. It's my first time so I need someone who actually knows what they are doing

This is probably completely normal but bring my first I haven’t a clue! I’m nearly 36 weeks and cannot quench my thirst for the life of me! I’m drinking so many different kinds of fluids and nothing is working:( is it just a normal end of pregnancy thing or is it a call to the midwife in the morning? Thankyou💕

So my MIL said today that my SIL received a bounty pack from the midwife when she was pregnant last year? I’ve had a look online and I’m not seeing anything about this being from the NHS. Does anyone know what she’s talking about?

Took a test here at work before I clocked in and this was the result I need line eyes bc I see it in person but looking for line eyes

My consultant advised today that it’s likely my section will be moved from 39 weeks to 37 weeks due to being moved onto insulin as my levels are still rocketing being on 4 x metformin per day, apparently when it’s insulin controlled they move it earlier? Wondering if anyone else has been told the same?

Anyone else find Perineal massage really painful?

Does anyone have a detect contact number for your midwife? Is that normal to have? I don’t have any contact for my midwife directly, just a general number for the midwifery team which never answer so always have to leave a message.

Do you have a midwife app at 16 weeks as I’m 14 weeks and no letter or app arranged so wasn’t sure if the next one now is 20 weeks

How do we contact our midwife using badger notes? Is there a way of sending them a message? Thanks
