Scans - Twins!

Hello, so I booked in for a private scan myself at 7 weeks which is on Saturday 7th October.

I ended up going for an internal scan on Tuesday this week due to being worried about my cramps - turns out I'm having twins 🙏🏼♥️ As a result, they have booked me in for another scan on Friday 13th October (6 days after the private scan).

Do I still attend the private scan or move it to later? I'm worried that having two scans so close to one another could harm the babies.

Does anyone know the answer to this or will it be safe to have both?

it will be fine, theres no radiation or frequency that will harm x

It will be fine but if you don’t need it could you cancel it and save money?
Congratulations on twins! So exciting 😁

Honestly with my anxiety I would pay for a scan every week if my husband would let me haha. 😂 Dx

Omg congratulations! I would personally move the private one back, then you know you have another one sorted in between. I’m struggling waiting (since my early one) and have another 3 weeks before my 12 one! 😭🤣

Congratulations! I think I’ve read there’s no evidence of harm. But they still recommend a week between scans unless they’re medically necessary. So no clear answer 😅

I'm thinking of calling tomorrow to find out what they recommended!
Xxxx

Id change the scan date just because Friday 13th.. but that's because I am vaguely superstitious. 😂

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!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
