I just had mine last week and I was a bag of nerves before, this is my 3rd child and it’s still nerve racking. But once you’re in there laying down and they show you your baby on the screen all the worries rush away, they’re always very calm and speak you through each thing they’re looking at on the baby to make you feel at ease, I’ve had 3 lovely experiences and I’m sure yours will be too! 🫶 x

Thanks everyone! I don't know about you but I've seen so many sad stories on Instagram and tik Tok and it's just got me so worried!

I was the same! I think because I knew they were looking for anomalies I was worried there might be something wrong but I went today and everything was fine and I left feeling excited. I think it’s only natural to worry! 🫶🏻 x

I felt the same. I think it’s totally normal to feel this way as our baby is so precious to us ❤️

I have mine tomorrow too! I wish it was a morning appointment it's not until 3pm. I have had bad anxiety throughout due to losses. I can't help but be anxious and just hoping all is okay. No movements yet but I do have an anterior placenta and I'm heavier than average. You got this mumma! X

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

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

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?

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!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
