Hello first time mom here! im currently 5 wks and 4 days just found out yesterday 🫶🏼🥰

When is the time you need go to seek OB and check for heartbeat of the baby? 🤰 thank you 🥰

Congratulations! OBGYN usually will take you in at 8th week to check on you and the fetus.
But you should get that visit scheduled right away or you won’t get it

The baby’s heartbeat will already be there as it starts at 5 weeks. I found out when I was 3 weeks so I found waiting until the 12 week scan really hard, so I paid to have a private scan at 8 weeks, you can see it in my profile picture. They call it a ‘reassurance scan’ but I just wanted one because I really wanted to know what was happening inside of me. It was worth it 🤍

just saw your display pic. Adorbs 🥰

first appointment should be from 6-10 weeks depending on the OB you go to

Congratulations as well🫶🏽

Congratulations!! I’m one week and 3 days behind you!

I’d go in for your blood test. Get it done. Then they usually don’t see u again until you are between 8-10 weeks 🥰

Congrats mama!! 🥰

I found out at 4 weeks one day and I immediately called my OBGYN and they told me they won't see me until 8 weeks

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

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

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

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? 🙏

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!
