Question

I know I sound crazy, but has anyone been anxious about going to an early reassurance scan? I had some cramping in my lower back yesterday which lasted all day and eased as the day went on and went away when I walked. However I feel so scared to book an early scan incase it was something 😭

This was exactly me! I was sooo nervous and even started crying out of nerves as soon as we got there, literally expecting the worst. But it was really reassuring and all the stress was for nothing, so hopefully it'll be the same for you too!

I thinking the cramping scared me, I’m grateful I’m not bleeding or anything and the cramping has stopped but I’m so scared.

Honestly Hun you're going to be absolutely fine, especially when you see all is well. Personally my mind was jumping from scenario to scenario until I saw the little sac, so if you're anything like me it'll definitely help ease your worries. And definitely a good sign that you're feeling better again 🙏🏻

I went for an early scan at 6+3 and it gave me so much reassurance. They actually measured me at a week ahead! I also had some cramping that came and went but was super strong at night. It eased and slowly disappeared as I progressed into week 8 :)

100% this is so normal. Our last pregnancy was an ectopic, we had a our 5th Frozen embryo transfer in early Feb and because of the ctopic had to go for a 5 week scan.. absoliutly terrified in the waiting room !

Thank girlies 🩷 the cramping I had lasted an entire day but gradually eased, it was only really bad when I lay down, walking around eased it loads. I just feel so chewed that something bad happened 😭😭 trying to stay positive but it’s hard when it’s something you want so bad x

I had cramping last night and a bit today, nothing terrible. I think it’s just things stretching and pulling
I’ve got an early scan on Saturday as I should be 6 +4
I’m nervous but trying to keep myself busy until then

Mine wasn’t horrific but very uncomfortable and only in my back and thighs. Us women really put ourselves through it x

I’m the same!! I’ve booked one for 6w+5 as my partner will be away for work and we wanted to confirm before that, but so scared we won’t see anything/ something will be wrong

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!

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? 🙏
