Please talk to your doctors about how you’re feeling!

Definitely talk to someone but also know that the first couple weeks are so incredibly hard. I cried all the time and was so overwhelmed. I had a c section too and it was a rough recovery for a bit and it just adds one more layer of complexity to everything on your mind. Take breaks when you need it and give yourself lots of cuddle and skin to skin time with your baby to help get all the good chemicals flowing. It really helps even when you're not feeling it yet.

Hi I felt this way and had a c section. They took the baby and I didn't see her for almost 2 hours later and I feel that definitely hauled the bonding between us. But I spoke to my OB and she said she can take time for some women.

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 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
