Scans

I’m just over the 6 week mark and really want to get a scan!

Who did you use for your early scans?

I would honestly wait. There’s not much to see this early. I was 8 weeks + 3 days with my first baby for his first ultrasound, and I’m actually bummed that we went so early because he didn’t even look like a baby. For this baby, our first appointment is at 9w+2 so I’m excited to see the difference

My insurance covered it . Unfortunately at 5 weeks we only saw the sac however they told me to return in two weeks and they will do another in hopes to see the baby.

I have a scan tomorrow morning and I'm around 6 weeks, it's purely because ive had previous miscarriages and the EPU want to keep an eye on me, I'm really not expecting to see much x

that’s what mine was for too, was super quick and to just confirm viability. I posted my pic in the comments if you want to see an idea of what you’ll see.

I'm obviously looking forward to it, but the effort of having to do a 30 minute bus journey just to see a blob🙄😂 I've just seen yours, congratulations again x

My dang anxiety was the same way I just wanted a scan. We are 8.5 weeks and I’m finally getting mine today

I considered going to a private place that does ultra sounds out of pocket payment - early as six weeks called iseebaby

Is it a 3D scan? cos it looks like one.

It really depends! My OB does six week ultrasounds. Some do it sooner than others!

I had first scan at 5+1 due to a subchorionic hemorrhage and saw the gestations sac. I had a follow up at 6+1 and still only saw the GS I have a third ultrasound on Monday. I’m hoping we finally see baby and it’s not diagnosed as an empty sac.

If it will put your mind at ease go for it, I went for a reassurance scan with my first and it made me feel so much better x

Ultrasound direct are fab, i had internal at 6w and saw heartbeat then abdominal at 8w. Its affordable and really put my mind at rest x

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!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
