12 week scan

Finally got my 12 week scan tomorrow and we’ve been looking forward to it for ages but now my partners not able to get out of work as he’s just started a new job so it’s looking like I have to go alone and it’s just giving me more anxiety. With our first we went through everything together and this pregnancy is just going so different 😫

Can he video call in on a break or something?

I didn’t think they allowed that?

I don’t really have any close enough friends that I’d even be able to ask so last minute and tbh I think I’d feel a bit guilty knowing someone else was there and seeing our baby before him 😫 the only person that would be free is my mum but she’s looking after my 1 year old as we can’t take her with us. I thought that would be the case with phones tbh. I went to a scan on my own in my last pregnancy and that was fine but it was just a growth scan, I feel like this one is much more important and I’d rather him be at this one but it’s looking like there’s nothing we can do 😫

thank you. I just keep thinking well we’ll have the early gender scan in a few weeks so at least we’ll have that together. Just hope everything is okay because it would be horrible if something isn’t and I’m on my own

I’m not sure but it’s worth asking.

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

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?

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

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?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?
