Surprise twins!

Found out we are expecting twins at our dating scan. After 2 losses earlier this year I really hope these 2 stick what a roller-coaster this is going to be. Explains the awful morning sickness.

Did you have any symptoms?

I am 5 weeks and my belly is big and I wonder haha

@Joyce my hcg at 5 weeks was 20800 which was quite high a significant jump from the 902 only 7 days prior. And in the last week and a half awful terrible all day morning sickness

I am in the same boat as you! Found out yesterday we are having twins (complete shock) and we also had two losses earlier this year. I have a 2.5 year told daughter and I’m terrified of having a toddler and two newborns. Trying to stay as positive as I can and not worry too much! Congrats!

my HCG jumped from 600 to 10300 in 5 days on the week 4, my cramps are crazy atm. I am week 5 2 days now

@Kathleen oh my gosh these will be my first earth side babies it's going to be a crazy experience! And then for you a different crazy experience!

maybe! You'll have to see at you ultrasound

Getting a dating scan done tomorrow morning sickness more like (hole day sickness)has been horrible. Bloating had been insane family thinks it might be twins, but I guess we will find out tomorrow

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!

Movements With Second Baby

Im 17 weeks pregnant with my second baby, but I still haven’t felt any movement. I was expecting to feel it early with it being my second pregnancy, so was just wondering when other mums felt movement with their second+ pregnanices? I have a lot of anxiety this time round after this pregnancy started with twins but I lost one after everything looked to be going well, so desperate to feel some movement just for a bit of reassurance. Thanks in advance 🩷
