Hey guys, so I thought I was 6 weeks pregnant yesterday so I had booked myself in for a pregnancy confirmation scan. I had the expectation to see a yolk sac and possibly a faint heartbeat however when the midwife first looked it was an empty sac no yolk in sight. She did manage to find tiny thing she said she thinks is the yolk sac and marked me down as 5 weeks but would like to see me two days again to see if the yolk sac has developed. It has sent me into a slight spiral that there’s nothing there. It’s my first pregnancy and I am overthinking everything! I was a bit disappointed to not be as far as I thought I was. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Was everything ok in the end? I’ve attached the scan image.

Hello - looking for some advice please. I was booked in for an induction earlier this week and have been advised the labour ward is so busy that it’s actually closed for new admissions right now until further notice. Has anyone experienced this as well?

I’ve been told it can change quickly but my anxiety is increasing given I was being induced for medical reasons but equally understand pressures on the system right now so feel I can’t challenge it.

Any advice welcome.

I had my 38 week midwife appointment this afternoon at 38+4 and she said baby was engaged, their head deep in my pelvis (I was told baby had engaged at 36+4 also).

When measuring the bump it was measuring 38cm at 36+4 but today has stayed static and measured 38.2cm, going from 95th percentile to 60th I think she said. Midwife didn’t seem overly concerned and believed other symptoms suggested my body was getting ready for early labour and this may just be due to him moving down.

I’ve been referred for a scan at 5pm today, has anybody else had something similar? Did it result in a change to your birth plan at this stage?
