How do the midwives know the position of the baby on the day we go to the hospital?

Have been thinking about this as we only have 2 scans through the NHS how will they know what’s the actual position of the baby in the day that we go into labour? Do they do a scan in the hospital? I’m starting to get a bit anxious with all of these silly questions

19weeks pregnant

Hi I’m 19weeks and getting the odd stitch feeling above my groin, I have my 20week scan next week just wondering what kind of feelings and movements are normal. I bought a Doppler and I’m sure it’s her heartbeat I pick up and not mine just looking for some reasurrance. I also told midwife buf she said it’s normal.

Measuring behind?

Just left my follow up appointment. gestational, I’m 34 weeks and 4 days. However, my doctor simply measured my stomach with the measuring tape and said I’m only showing as 32… Which is weird because LAST visit she said I was showing as 33. So what’s going on? How can they determine my gestation based on a measu...

Protein

Has anyone had a trace of protein in their urine at a midwife appointment? She wasn’t concerned and said it could be a number of things but should I be worried?
