5 weeks pregnant

Hey ladies, so I’m 5 weeks pregnant, Ive been having period like pains and started spotting around 8am this morning. It’s been very on and off all day but hasn’t even been enough to make a mark on my panty liner. Had gotten lighter but still going. Should I be concerned at all? Or does this seem fairly normal? Thank you in advance 🩷

Not to scare you but I started to spot at night and it turned into a mc I’d get checked out if you can I was 5 weeks 1 day

Bleeding in early pregnancy is scary but super common.
It really can go either way though.
In 2 of my 3 pregnancies I’ve had spotting, this pregnancy especially I’ve had episodes of really heavy bleeding too, and all was fine with those pregnancies, healthy baby boy and currently 22 weeks and all fine. My one pregnancy without bleeding was a missed miscarriage, so there’s really no guarantees either way.

It is good to see if your EPU will see you, but I know mine doesn’t do anything until you’re over 6 weeks, so I think it depends on where you live.

Hey, I would see your doctor. They might suggest an ultrasound to make sure everything is okay, especially as you have pain. Loads of luck that it’s all fine!🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

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

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
