You booked your first midwife appointment. Now what do you actually say when you get there? Most women sit down, answer their midwife's questions, and walk out without asking a single one of their own, then spend the next week Googling everything at midnight. That's what this video is here to fix. I'm sharing 15 specific questions to bring to your first appointment. What vitamins to take, what symptoms should worry you, how accurate that due date really is, what to do if you start spotting, whether you can still exercise — all of it. Whether you're in the UK, the US, or anywhere else in the world, your midwife or doctor can answer every one of these. You just have to ask. Bring a notepad. Or screenshot this. Go prepared.
