Did anyone did a rescan due to the position of the baby ?

Yes I have 4 for my 12 week and I’ve got the second for my 20 week this week :)

Im doing mine next week my baby was active thats why 😂

Yes and no 😅 I had a scan at 19 weeks, but the hospital decided to change its protocol so they have to rescan after 20 weeks as the brain might not be fully developed. So I had to come back 2 weeks later but also my baby was being so active they couldn't quite see all of her heart.

I had to have a second 20 weeks anomaly scan as baby wasn’t in the right position. The baby’s legs were crossed which meant that they couldn’t get all the measurements they needed and we couldn’t find out the gender which was what we were most excited for. (I booked a private gender scan for the day after and found out as I couldn’t bare waiting 😆). We even tried walking around for 15 mins and eating / drinking something sweet but that still didn’t work. We had our re scan a couple weeks later and baby’s legs were wide open so they managed to get all the measurements they need

Yes with all 4 of them
This pregnancy they only just got the measurements as baby was upside down lol that was with a FM doctor too😂💀 still dunno the gender as they don’t want us to know either lol 😂

Yeah! We had our 20 week re scan today, she was still lying in the most awkward position! So had to go for another walk and a sugary drink. Luckily just managed to finish everything off! Thought we’d be going back again.

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back

It’s my birthday tomorrow.

Ok so I am going to be 35 years young. I can’t believe how much this life has thrown at me but it’s okay I’m a survivor. I am truly blessed to be alive. 🥳🧁🎂 The only downside is I won’t be celebrating my birthday because my man can’t take me out. So many emotions right now.
