12 wk Scan

Will I be given photos of baby at my first scan ? Are they free or do you have to pay? Can I pay for extras ?

When we got ours we had to pay for each photo we got and payed by car on a little machine that gave us a receipt then took that to the reception

There is usually a machine, like a vending machine, and if you wnat the pics, you can buy them from the machine

I was so baffled by paying this time round but I wonder if because my first was during covid time and you went to scans alone if that was what they did to make it seem better. Ours is £5 for one or £10 for 3 but you usually end up with a few more x

I haven’t had to pay for any of
mine and i’ve had a lot due to complications. Got about 5/6 different stages in photos and haven’t paid for any of them. Always prepared to but they just give them to me

No extras normally though, these are only generally offered at private scans or at baby losses x

We've never had to pay for our scans at two different hospitals. I think it depends on the hospital make sure you tell them you want photos though as some are in such a rush they forget to print them off

You can request to record the heartbeat when they start listening to it but it'll be on your phone etc they don't give you anything bar standard photos although I had one lady try desperately to get a decent face shot for us but our son was in a horrible position so she had to give up

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

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?

C section compression socks

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?
