For anyone who is contemplating paying for an early scan from 6 weeks I would 100% recommend it - such a lovely reassuring experience 🥰

Hi ladies, did you do your scan at exactly 6 weeks? I’ve got one booked for 6 weeks on the dot and worried if it’s too early. I’ve heard some people wait 6 weeks and 5 days or 7 weeks.

going off my dates I’m supposed to be 7 weeks tomorrow but my scan today showed me at exactly 6 weeks - i think you’ll be okay! 🥰

Hey Jen my scan above today i thought I was 6+5 but I was 6+2 and got to see the heartbeat xxx

This is so reassuring - thank you. My scan is tomorrow at 6+1 so trying to be realistic about the fact I may not see much.
Can I ask - what did you wear? I don’t really have any long flowy skirts but think it might be awkward to go in jeans? 😂🙈

I wore leggings and a long baggy top. easy to pull top up and put leggings on the hips 😊💜

How do you get an early scan? Is it just through the dr? 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

unless there are any specific concerns, you won’t get one on the NHS. You need to go privately for one. ‘Window to the womb’ or other private clinics are about £80-100 a scan

I went private with Hey Baby 4D and it was £75. Prices for early scans range from £40!! super cheap and worth it for the reassurance xx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
