12 week scan- worried!!

Hey! I have my 12 week scan tomorrow (I’ll be 12+2) but am absolutely worried sick! I had an early abdominal scan at 7 weeks but baby measured 6 weeks and I can’t get the fear away! I’ve been sooo tired and sick but apart from that have had nothing else too hideous! Did anyone else feel this way before their scan and did anyone’s baby measure behind and then on time?
Thank you!!

thank you!!! That’s really reassuring! How exciting, hope it goes super quick for you!!! 🩵 xx

I felt exactly the same before mine! I was convinced something was going to be wrong or there wasn't even going to be a baby in there. It's normal to worry. My scan I was 13+1 and baby measured 12+2 so nearly a week behind. Hope everything goes well for you x

I felt the same way and also had an early scan and the baby measured smaller than expected! I was so worried but at my 12 week one, it’s now measuring 13 weeks so it’s growing well! And it was lovely to see!

thank you so much! I’ve never felt fear like it haha it’s strange what it does to you xx

ahhh that’s so good to know!! Thank you!! Fingers crossed we ours will have similar good news 😊 xx

It's awful isn't it, you don't realise how much you already love them. Let us know how it goes x

Yes I was bricking it. Mainly because they was telling the worst case scenario of everything so its freaked me out. But all was fine. Also you guys on here and some friends I have made on this app made me feel 100 times better. Because, tbh this all feels super surreal to me. As I never thought it would ever happen as that's what I been told for over 20 years and then it's happened when I was like this is weird and it was so sad as baby was so manic in my uterus I had to keep dancing on the bed and didn't really get to take much in tbh.

Congratulations 🎊 🎊

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?

20week scan!!

i had my 20week scan yesterday, everything looked okay on baby and we found out the gender!! it’s a girl 🩷🩷. but they said that my placenta is too close to my pelvis and they need to do extra scans to check on it? has anyone else been told this?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w
