First Ultrasound

So anxious for my next ultrasound. Anyone else feel this way? The first scan at 5 and a half weeks they said they couldn’t see the baby yet which made me so nervous for my next one.

Same I had the same experience. I’ll have another in two weeks. Finger crossed & many prayers for healthy kiddos 🥰💕

I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s normal and just too early to see so I’m hoping that’s the case for both of us! Praying for a healthy baby for me and all my mom friends on here.

What kind of ultras sound did they do? Transvaginal or just and ultrasound I did transvaginal and was able to see the heartbeat

transvaginal they told me to wait until 8 weeks and come back

@ this early stage one day could be a game changer in hopes of seeing that heartbeat. I had a tranvaginal scan @ 5w6d & saw heartbeat then abdominal scan 6w3d & also saw heartbeat. Pray when you go next you will get to see the heartbeat :)

You might be too early I was six weeks when I got my done & my OB said she doesn’t like looking at five weeks because it’s too hard to see a heart beat. I’ll wait till six weeks

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

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 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
