Hello ladies, Am 21 years old and I've not long found out am pregnant. Me and My mum was really close and talked about everything but she passed away 2 years ago which has now left me with so many questions I didn't get round to asking for example "Am 8 weeks can I sleep on my
belly still?" And "When i phone the midwife when am I expected to get a phone call back?" Please help thankyou x

    Awww, that really sucks.  I'm sorry you don't have your mom to help you through this time.  I don't use a midwife, but whenever I called the dr, I would get a response within 24 hours.  Also, I think its ok to sleep on your belly until your bump pops out.  I would invest in a body pillow.....saved my life the first pregnancy.

    Im a little over 6 weeks and still wake up on my stomach most nights. I slept on my stomach for as long as was comfortable with my other 3. I would go to sleep on my back or side, but wake up on my stomach. I dont know when exactly they say to stop. As far as call backs...sometimes my nurses are quick to call back and other times they may not get back to me till the office slows down towards the end of the day. I think its probably an urgency thing. If your call or question is urgent, they will get back to you quicker it seems. But I know with a first pregnancy, when you have questions, everything seems urgent! Good luck! We are here to support you :)

    You are in a good place for support here. I am so sorry for your loss and I know it's scary.

    You can definitely sleep on your belly.

    I switched offices because my doctor would never return a phone call. It ended up being good that I did because I had some other issues. If you are not satisfied with the office you're at you can always switch. It's still early enough that it wouldn't be a problem.

    Thoughts and prayers for you.

    You can sleep on your belly as long as you're comfortable that way.

    Sorry for your loss, me and my mom are super close and talk about everything, I cannot even begin to imagine what having a baby without her would be like. I am a doctor myself, even though I'm not an Ob/Gyn I pretty much know what to worry with and what's normal.

    You can absolutely safely sleep on your belly, my the time your belly starts popping it'll actually be uncomfortable to sleep on your belly so you don't have to worry about hurting your baby.

    Best of luck on everything, you can always ask anything on the community and someone will answer

    I have been in your shoes. My mom passed almost 7 years ago now. I got pregnant with my first less than a year after. I was lucky though that I had my sister-in-law and mother-in-law to help with pregnancy concerns.  Don't be afraid to ask your doctor/midwife questions. While they might not get back to you right away I am sure they will. And use these great ladies in this community. They can be great support. Please feel free to send me PM if you feel the need to vent. This is my 4th pregnancy and it is still hard for me not having my mother. So I can definitely understand what you are going through. Sorry for your loss.

    Of course you can sleep on your belly! Trust me, you'll know when you can't anymore. That little thing is tiny and so well-protected in there. I'm enjoying sleeping on my belly for as long as I can.

    I know how you feel @xkayteexbaybeex My mother isn't in my life and my mother in law passed away suddenly in October. I'm 29 and ever since then becoming a parent has become a priority for me, I also feel like i have no one I can turn to. Me and my husband are both the oldest of 4.
    I have my first midwife app on the 6th may and I'm hoping I can just go to heaps of classes and read heaps of books and get an idea what to expect etc x
