Private scan coming up…

I’ve got a private scan today and am naturally worried, just so i’m prepared is it normal for the baby to be smaller or less days/weeks than presumed?

I’m measuring at 10 weeks at the moment😅

It’s really hard before 12 weeks for them to be 100% certain on dates!
I went nearly 2 weeks ago thinking I was 7w1d and I was measuring at 7w2d, so not massively different. It depends on your cycles!
A few Women on here have thought they were certain time along and actually because of their cycles they weren’t that far along.
I hope everything goes okay!

I’m going for mine tmr and I should be 7w4d please let me know how yours go

How did it go?

Update: had my scan and I measured a week behind (9weeks2d) which I kind of expected, but doc said this was as predicted with my menstrual cycle and everything looked great! baby’s heartbeat was pounding away❤️

Everything okay?

yes! everything turned out great and I’m sure yours will too, naturally I’m still nervous about the 12w scan but this’ll keep me stress-free for now

I hope mine tomorrow will be the same😮‍💨I’ve been stressing and doing test every few days

C Section Date

Phantom pain

So I had an emergency C-section and it's been already 6 months and there is days that I feel a really sharp stabbing pain reoccurring is that normal Am I just going crazy

Has your life become a living nightmare since becoming a mom?

Sometimes I become conscious of the fact that I just have to wake up tomorrow morning and do this all over again. Every day. And then I wanna bash my head into a brick wall

Overwhelmed!

I’m due in June with my first baby, we started saving money before I found out I was pregnant and have continued to save money however, as we’ve needed to buy lots of baby stuff, decorate her room etc, we’ve not been saving no where near as much so obviously our total amount of savings hasn’t been going up as much as we like.

We’ve just had our renewal for some bills like council tax (which has gone up) etc. I just feel really deflated and thinking how on earth are we going to survive when I’m on maternity pay 😕

I know everything will be okay but it’s just really got to me today.

Did anyone else feel like this? Was there any help or things you did to make it easier?

Baby boy is officially here 💖

Born yesterday at 39 weeks. A very fast labour. Woke up at 2.30am on the 16th to my waters leaking, contractions didn’t start till 4am and then I was 2cm dilated, at 10am my contractions were strong enough where I couldn’t talk but was only 3cm so had a sweep and was admitted into the birthing centre. By 3pm baby boy was born in the pool 💖 had a bad 2 degree internal tear but I’m so so happy I can stop looking at him

39 Week Induction Being Pushed On

Went to my 36 week appointment today and my OB was pushing for a 39 week induction.

I want a natural spontaneous labor but my OB kept pushing for the induction even if I’m low risk and healthy. Is anyone else experiencing this?
