Hi, I was exactly the same, until you hear the words there is your babies heartbeat 💓 you will let go of that feeling?! It’s the most amazing experience. The wait till your 20week one is sort of the same. Pretty normal but everything will be ok ❤️ xx

I lost my 1st baby and found out at my 12 week scan, so my 2nd was absolutely terrifying! But everything is okay and baby is happy and healthy! It’s natural to have all sorts of thoughts, good luck! Hope it goes well for you 💗💗

I have had 3 scans so far and every time i feel stressed out, so youre definitely not alone, every time i go i feel like its going to be some bad news but once you see the baby on the screen and the little heartbeat it all goes away xx

I was exactly the same! I could not sit still in the waiting room and I will probably be the same for each scan I think it’s totally a normal part of mother hood ❤️

I felt the exact same. Once the lady turned the screen on I burst into tears. I was sobbing. The lady was actually concerned I wasn’t ok but it was like someone took the lid off the pressure cooker! The feeling after was amazing! The relief, joy, excitement… it’s amazing. Try and have a nice day today 🥰

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!!
