I booked Window to the Womb last year for my first. They were fantastic. Then did my early gender one and 4D with them :)

Absolutely!! But not before 8-9 weeks as sometimes you're not quite where you think you are x

Yes definitely worth it and nice to see the heartbeat

I did mine at 6 weeks couldn’t see much but let me know it’s one baby , good size , right place , no leaking liquid and heartbeat and due date x

what do you mean by that sorry?

that was my plan! Thank you so much x

sorry I wasn't very clear! So when you first found out you date by your last period, but its not always accurate so you might book a scan thinking you're X or Y amount of weeks and baby isn't that gestational age etc. I had a scan on Monday expecting to be 6 weeks and was told baby looks more like 5 and no heartbeat yet which can be very normal at that point, caused myself more worry 💕

ahhh that makes sense! Thanks x

Congratulations Dannii, I’m about 7 weeks I think (did 6 tests) new to ALL of this, so good to have someone else asking the same thing. How do you book a private scan or test?

Congratulations!
I definitely recommend early reassurance scan, I’ve booked mine for when I’m around 8 weeks.
I had one with my first pregnancy and made that 12 week wait more bearable x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

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?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
