I was also nervous for all the appointments before reaching the point of feeling kicks :)

I’m the same, I’m still worrying and my 12 week scan is on the 18th it’s always on my mind with what’s going on, it does get easier once you can feel the kicks x

I totally agree! I'm the same. We booked an early reasurrance scan next week to help ease my mind. From what iv seen it's definitely normal to feel this way.

Ooh my 12 week scan is on the 22nd too 😊 I also just had a private early one and everything was perfect but I’ve been anxious about something going wrong in between ever since! Counting down the days!! X

My 12 week scan is on the 21st! I have been super anxious and have had an early reassurance scan last week xx

hey Jodie, if you go to the early pregnancy unit they’ll give you an early scan and you won’t have to pay for the early reassurance one. I’ve already been for two at my hospital due to a missed miscarriage last pregnancy. They should have an open door policy and are fab at putting your mind at rest.

@Melissa Thank you. I will look into it. Already booked this one but definitely next time if I'm feeling anxious x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
