Confused

I’ve got my 20 week scan next week and 2 weeks later got another scan to check blood flow to the placenta
I’ve had no letter or information about this or why I’m having it . My 12 week nip test came back all low chance

I’ve seen some people write about low papp , how do you know this ? I’ve not been told anything if I have low I’ve checked all my notes and nothing

I’m so confused

Your midwife should be able to provide you information about all your results and explain appointments

PappA should be in the same report as the downs test the 12 week test

But I had a vanishing twin so Apr the lab doesn’t measure pappA as it can give a false reading

Def ask the screening midwife in antenatal to discuss the results that’s what I did.

Ive had this scan due to preclampsia with my first.

I’m having this scan too but that’s because I have rheumatoid arthritis which can affect blood flow to the placenta. I’d ring your midwife to find out why you have been referred x

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
