I feel the same! Mines also tomorrow, I’m not sure what they’ll see or if it’s too early. How many weeks are you? I’m only 6+1 tomorrow x

I feel the same way, I have a scan on Monday and I’ll be 7wks 3dys. I’m terrified of the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy or a missed miscarriage, however my Mum said that if I feel fine, everything should be fine! It’s my first child so I have no idea what to expect, but think positive, it’s rare for something to go wrong especially being young and healthy! x

Same here! Due to stress I am overreading everything I feel in my body and feel like I developed cramps 😪 I almost want to go to the scan alone and not with my partner as to get bad news alone. The past MC trauma is coming out

@Amy ah good luck for tomorrow. I'm going to be 7+6 tomorrow x

me too, I think these are all rational fears as it'll be the first time since the positive test that we actually get to look in there and see what's happening! I'll keep my toes crossed for you x

@Zeynep it must be hard having suffered a loss in the past! X

Definitely! It’s just a mothers love and worry, my mum said she still has it with me now and i’ve been out the womb 22 years! Thank you darling, toes are crossed for you too🩷

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?
