I completely relate to this...and I am in the exact same situation. I also feel like I am going insane which may be the case but scans are the only thing keeping me sane this time. Sending you lots of love ❤️

me too as soon as i have one it calms my anxiety for a bit. sending love and hugs❤️

I understand this! The pregnancy anxiety never really goes away after you experience loss. There’s a place not too far from where I live that does ultrasounds for a fee. Even though it’s a little pricey, I definitely see them a few times a pregnancy for peace of mind! Plus more ultrasound photos! Hugs momma!

I'm gonna go to this place called Bundle of Joy where Inlove to get an early scan and find out the sex cuz these reg OBGYN appts. are always scheduled so far out and the suspense/tension gets real having to wait so long 😬

I had at least 1 scan every week with my daughter after multiple losses. Some were NHS scans but we paid privately as well. Honestly pregnancy is scary enough never mind after a loss, whatever gets you through it I say! Congratulations on your baby, hope you have a happy & healthy pregnancy! Xx

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !
