If you dont want to ring your normal midwife you could ring a tommys midwife... Im not sure of the number off the top of my head but Im sure youll find it if you google it.
I cant believe how nasty some of your friends have been to you though. Do you think theyre just jelous? My friends haven't been brilliant because Im the only one to do this, so no one really knows what to say, but theyve never said anything like that.
I would just ignore them and get some new mates to be honest.
