Sore after 20 week scan

Anyone else sore and achey after their scan? I had mine yesterday. They had to do quite a lot of deep prodding around to get the right angles etc!

Yes! Sonographer had to be rather forceful at times, including getting my husband to push one one side of my stomach whilst they scanned from the other (hoping baby would turn from facing away to facing towards) I also had to do a ridiculous number of jumps and stretches to try and help 😮‍💨

Yes! I was a little tender for a few days after mine, they had to press quite hard at times xx

I’ve ended up bruised after both of my scans! X

On my 12 week scan I had brusies all across the bottom of my stomach and it was really painful to move! Baby was not playing and wouldn't get into the right position so they really had to dig in to get a good measurement hoping my 20 week scan isn't as painful! Xx

I haven’t had my 20 week scan yet but I was so bruised and in pain after my 12 weeks scan from hard pressing and prodding. Hopefully it’ll pass soon x

Yes! The bottom of my stomach feels bruised from so much prodding. Baby was so tucked away x

Yes ! And I know it scared my bubba :( had it on Tuesday and she’s alright now but she went right down to my pelvic muscles and it really hurt for a while. But she’s all back to her wriggly self now aha ❤️ I feel so mean ahaha xx

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

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?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
