Questions to ask MW

[Zebra Stars]

Well my MW and consultant don't tell me anything unless i ask
so i don't know much about my pregnancy.
I don't even know if LO is head down.

So any questions i should/could ask my MW/consultant?

+ how do MW know if the baby is engadged?

My midwife tells me but if you have a look in your yellow book it should say...

Ceph= Head down
Free= Not engaged
Then 1/5, 2/5, blah blah... is how far engaged they are.

When she feels your stomach she can tell by feeling how much head she can still feel

mine works the same way as above..
erm you might wanna ask her about your birth plan if your doing one?
when they go about doing a sweep (if your interested)
i dunno depends on what you need to know/find out really x

anything you think of that you wanna know just write down then you can choose whether to ask her when you go in, or if there's anything embarassing, you could just give her the paper
i've done that a few times, through being too embarassed, but wanting to know..

oh and my midwives don't always tell me.. i'd say you'd be best reading your notes.. it should explain it, and if there's anything you don't understand google it..
like i googled what ceph meant and it explain quite well, or ask us!!
