Hi ladies,I found out I was pregnant again 2 weeks ago and my son is only 14 months old. He’ll be just under two when baby is born. Will they want me to have an early scan this time round as I had a C-section with my first? I had gestational diabetes with my first so I was just wondering if they’ll want to keep a close eye on me? I also had mild pre-eclampsia too. Just looking for a little bit of advice

Hey girl, they’ll more than likely just do some more regular scans than they did with your son just for reassurance on both ends. They may also test your gestational diabetes a bit earlier than they did before as of the history so before 24 weeks if that was the case for you. Nothing to worry about at all but make sure you contact and inform your midwife if you start feeling the same symptoms as before even if they can correlate to another condition in pregnancy- it’s always best to check. Stay safe and congratulations 💗🫶🏼
thank you girl,I’ve got my first appointment at the doctors on the 19th so she’ll probably send a referral off for a scan then. My family keep telling me I might be having twins this time but I hope not😂 one newborn and a toddler will do😂 and you too!🩷

Not a problem 💗Hopefully all is well!! I might be having multiples too my hcg is way to high and increasing by the minute. I will find out on Tuesday hopefully! Thank you so much Xxx
yeah I had growth scans every two weeks with my first. Diabetes runs in my family that’s why they wanted to test me the first time round and oh I’m trying very hard to watch what I eat xx
im not to sure how high my hcg is hopefully find out when I have my appointment xx

Have they taken your bloods yet? Xx
Not yet,I don’t have my appointment till the 19th xx

Make sure to ask them what the levels are and keep track it’s a kind of reassurance aswell tbf if scans aren’t available xx
Yeah I’ll definitely ask them xx

If you had signs of pre eclampsia first time round they'll likely put you on aspirin for your whole pregnancy along with everything mentioned above. Just had my 2nd as my first turned 2, it's a fun ride haha!
