12 week scan and beyond

How on earth do you make sure you have a full bladder aka drink a full litre of water before a scan with HG? I’ll throw up if i have even a glass of water across the day😳

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, just do what you can manage and turn up. The sonographers are experienced and will still scan you.

If you are getting IV fluids at all, you can try to time your appointments an hour or so apart- I did that once and it worked great! Otherwise just have what you can and hold your bladder for a few hours before instead of trying to fill it just an hour before your appointment. If they still can’t see clearly, they can always do a transvaginal scan which is much clearer anyways

I wouldn’t worry, I’ve never been able to drink a thing on the days of my scans, I’ve had 5 in total so far on an empty bladder and no issues

This is exactly what happened to me with my son… I suffered really badly with serious Hyperemesis throughout the pregnancy and I couldn’t keep anything down let alone water for a scan, I explained this to the doctor/nurse and they were okay with it. It’s usually just a caution so it makes the scans clearer with a full bladder. I’m so sorry you have Hyperemesis, I hope you get on okay! ❤️

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?

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? 🙏
