Do I need to see Dr? Bloat and bowels!!

Oh my goodness my bloating has been what I would describe as severe since before I tested pos. (Now 7+) but I also have (so sorry tmi) usually an episode of loose stools at least once a day and constipation the rest of the day. My tummy could honestly pass for like 16 weeks at least. Do I need to be more careful with my diet or maybe see the Dr? Anyone else have all these symptoms? Feel so bloated all the time and not wanting to tell people so early on but feeling like I'm walking around and people are guna be guessing much sooner!!

I felt very similar when I was about as far along as you are, I was incredibly bloated, my belly was huge. As far as I know what you’re describing is still pretty normal. If it gives you any hope, mine got a lot better a few weeks later, I’m 16+4 now and while I still get the odd bloat it’s nowhere near as bad!

I get it too, I find drinking peppermint tea with lots of lemon and eating smaller portions and more fibre/less carbs has helped. I spoke to my Dr but they only gave me temporary fixes, the above has helped more long term. Good luck 😊

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

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

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
