Two weeks wait

This is insane! I hate waiting.

I don't feel pregnant but I can't remember how I felt with my first and with my miscarriage I felt awful from day 1.

I'm 7dpo and hoping to get to 10 before I start early testing (which is 5 days from my day late period) but I want to test now!

I'm at my in-laws for the next few days and don't get a moment to myself but I'm just obsessing over it!

I’m not sure if it’s helpful or not but with my previous losses I felt pregnant then I tested positive but this time round with my rainbow baby I didn’t feel pregnant once and I actually tested positive at 10dpo on the off chance like deep down I thought it’d be negative hope you manage to get through these next few days it is so hard to not test but you’ve got this x

oh that does help! The fact that it feels different is both exciting and scary. But thank you.

Yeah i don’t think it’s ever the same! My friends all said they knew when they were pregnant and I genuinely had no idea, like no symptoms no nothing so I would say never rely on symptoms alone! I hope you get your rainbow baby tho sending you all the baby dust ❤️

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!
