Early Viability Scan

Hi all,

New to all this, just found out I’m pregnant with my first baby and I’m about 6 weeks today!

We have booked a private early viability scan for next Friday when I’ll be 7 weeks 1 day as I need to see there’s a heartbeat!

Has anyone else had a scan at 7 weeks? Was it okay, did you get a clear picture etc?

I’m in the United States so things might be different here but they will not play the heartbeat here over a scan until 12 weeks. I had my first scan at 10 weeks for viability and my baby looked like a tiny little bunny rabbit at that time lol. She didn’t look like a baby until like 13 weeks on ultrasound.

I had an external ultrasound at 7 weeks and saw baby’s heartbeat!

So can they do it externally then, it doesn’t have to be internal x

it doesn’t have to be internal!

it would be a much clearer picture though & more accurate dating x

This was internal at 7 weeks exactly x

I had an internal at 6+4 (thought I was 7 weeks 😅) and could see little peanut and heartbeat 💓

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?

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

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

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!
