12 week scan

I have my 12 week scan tomorrow I will be 11+3 and can’t help but panic. I don’t know why i keep thinking they’ll tell me theres no heartbeat or something bad like that. I’ve had a normal pregnancy so far, no symptoms (which does also worry me), no bleeding or anything so how likely is it for this to happen?

I had mine today and I have had zero symptoms. I have had lower back pain and was panicking it was bad news but baby seems absolutely fine! Please don’t worry or be anxious, I know it’s easier said than done but the odds are in your favour and you will want to enjoy the pregnancy! X

This is very normal, I was the exact same in my first pregnancy, I also have very limited symptoms (sore boobs etc) xx

thank you!! Glad everything is good for you and hope it stays like that xx

this is my 3rd baby and the anxiety does not get better with each one. If anything I feel like I’m more anxious this time. Even though I’ve never had a miscarriage or anything

My first baby, I barely left my bed other than appointments or work, I had weekly CTG’s, and biweekly private scans, I’d told myself daily I was gunna lose the baby - this time round I’m a lot calmer very odd! Xx

I just had mine and everything was perfect. I saw little baby moving around a lot🥹 i just feel as mums we never stop worrying! Hope everything goes well for you xx

Induction?

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

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 really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
