Scan!

Oh the relief 😅 I went for another Scan today at 9w2d, seeing them grow is so precious! I saw the little arm buds and feet buds, strong Heartbeat and they were wiggling about!

Now just the wait another 2.5 weeks for my next Scan 😬

thank you so much ✨
They really do look like jelly babies!! X

Wow amazing news congratulations. I have my first scan next week privately. Can’t wait

oh I’m so excited for you! How have you been? X

Not been feeling great with morning sickness (in the evenings) and cramping since Saturday but getting there. Looking forward to the scan and tests next week and getting the results back 🤞🏼🤞🏼. What about you ? Xx

you will be so happy when you see your little one on the screen; I cried both times!
I’m shattered all the time! I’ve got really sore boobs, skin is a little bad and I’m so bloated but I’m okay other than that! X

my skin is bad too. So annoying. Feel like a teenager! And the bloating. Hard to hide the baby bump going to have to tell work this week too I think x

This is so clear! Was this internal or external? I am having one tomorrow and I’ll be 9+1

I had an abdominal and internal but this photo is from the internal! Good Luck for tomorrow!

I do too! I said to my Husband it makes me not wanna leave the house! 😂
Luckily mine is just looking like I’ve gained a little weight not an actual Bump and I’m not in work too much so I think I’ve got a few more weeks 🤞🏼 x

ah that’s lucky. Mine is literally a little football there’s no hiding it as weight gain! I have to go away to Amsterdam this week for work and do client entertainment in the evenings. My morning sickness starts around 5pm. I’m so worried I’ll just be in the loos all night in front of clients. Not ideal at all x

oh bless you! Can you take some anti sickness before the events?
I’ve been having ginger biscuits on the odd occasion I do feel sick! X

Yeah ginger shots are the only thing strong enough to help. I just hate them though 😂. I have some anti sickness medication but haven’t taken anything yet. I’m worried to take anything honestly.

Absolutely gorgeous! 🥰❤️
So reassurancing to see also as I have the same symptoms as you and only nausea sometimes. So the anxiety after MCs, is real!! I've got a scan at 8 weeks 3 days on weds, hoping all goes well for me too 🤞🌈🌟 got to see their heart beat at 6 weeks +4 so hoping they've grown, just like they should. 💞 xx

sending you lots of Baby Dust! X

This is amazing and has defo persuaded me to get a 9 week scan!!

definitely worth it to see their progression!

Hi, I’m just curious.. have you told people about your pregnancy or are you still keeping it a secret until 12 weeks? Not sure what to do this time round after miscarrying previously Xx

Hi! We’ve told a few people, we had a MC earlier this year and found that people were unbelievably supportive and got us through it so we decided to tell people once we had our early Scan at 7w2d x

Steph! Have you had your Scan yet? How did it go? xx

Crazy timing I had it today! I didn’t hear the heartbeat as she wouldn’t turn the volume on but he was dancing around and everything looking happy and healthy. What about you?

oh I’m so pleased! I had a Scan yesterday, all is fine! I haven’t heard the Heartbeat yet as I went without my Husband and I want to be with him when we hear it for the first time! But all was okay with the Scan, they were moving about, saw their little arms and legs 🥺
We’ve got the NHS Scan next Friday so we’ll hear it then! xx

Oh lovely Congratulations. I have my nhs one in 2 weeks so yes, hopefully we will hear it then too. So amazing. They said I was 10 weeks 2 or 3 days I thought I was 10 weeks 4 or 6 days. So there we go. Not a huge difference. Nearly through the first trimester though and apparently this is the worst one!

yeah when I’ve been for all 3 Scans they’ve measured me to be what I thought, 10w4d so that’s good that hasn’t changed!
Yes we’ve only got a few more weeks left! 🫶🏻

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!
