I'm having private scan on Tuesday (I'll be 7 weeks) I lost my 2nd in October last year at 8 weeks, I just wanna know everything is okay

I’m going to wait it out until my first NHS scan on the advice of my midwife. I had an early scan privately during my last pregnancy and it just made me more anxious. So going to try let go of what I can’t control and hope for the best. Easier said than done having had a miscarriage previously 😬

Found a private scan on groupon for £30, going to go at 8 weeks

Going on Monday, 6+6 due to pregnancy history, and a previous loss at 12 weeks.
I’ve asked to delay from having the scan at exactly 6w so that there’s a clearer image and allowance for a few days either way in terms of dates, which can affect what you can see that early. I didn’t want to have to go twice if they couldn’t see a fetal pole or heartbeat etc.
If it weren’t necessary to be able to get the prescription I need, I actually wouldn’t be going this early at all.

I had an early scan at 6 weeks 3 days with my first son & heard his heart beat but I went today for an early scan thinking I was 6 weeks and I’m only measuring 5 weeks because my cycles still haven’t regulated as I’m only 10 months PP but saw the sack and they are going to rescan me in 2 weeks time xx

I’ll be waiting until 8/9 weeks for a private as that’s when I’ve gone for my previous 3 pregnancies. I had a miscarriage in 2025 at 5wks so I’d prefer to wait a bit closer to 12wks because I would hate to see something and then a bad thing happen rather than never see it and a bad thing happens so I don’t know what they ā€˜looked’ like?? I don’t know how else to describe it šŸ˜…

My hospital told me they won’t scan until 7weeks šŸ˜•. I wanted my scan for 6 weeks as I’ve had a previous molar pregnancy

I went for a private scan yesterday and measured exactly 6 weeks and saw the heartbeat šŸ¤ I tried to hold off and go maybe next week or the week after but I just had to for my anxiety!

I’m having an nhs reassurance scan next week due to previous losses I’ll be either 6.5 or 7.5 wks & a private booked in for 9 / 10 wks then nhs at 12 weeks ā¤ļø

What can be seen at 6 weeks ladies? And what type of scan is it at 6 weeks? Im petrified somethings going to happen before the 12 weeks. Xx

I was 5 weeks 2 days. Thought I was 7 weeks when I had it. And they measured and worked it out to be 5w2. Now I’m at 6w5days

I will at 7 weeks x

I’m going for one at 6w6d because sometimes 6w is a little too early and I know if a heartbeat wasn’t picked up at that point I’d have a meltdown!

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for the best type of underwear to get to wear during c section recovery?

98th percentile baby!

So I’m 34 weeks and baby has been measuring large (only his tummy) since 2 growth scans ago which is bringing him to the 98th percentile and currently guessed at 5.6lbs!
My first baby was born at 7.11lbs so they have said he is big for my gestation in comparison

I am in so much pain and have been in preterm labour since 29 weeks so the contractions have been awful but never any progression! And his movements have slowed right down despite positive CTG and scans showing he is okay

Has anyone had this with baby? Gestational test was negative and I have a blood sugar test on Saturday

I have a midwife appointment and I’m wondering about requesting induction at 37 weeks ( I had my last at 38 weeks and almost ended up in a C section as my pelvis was to narrow and be kept getting stuck) so I’m getting very anxious about trying to deliver an even bigger baby!!

Thankyou in advance

C-Section date

I have had my obstetrician appointment at 36+5 days to request my elective c section.

The consultant requested the surgery for the 1st October making me 38+5 days on the day of surgery. But she did caution that it may be between the 1st-8th depending on theatre availability.
How many people got honoured the date they requested, and how many requested a specific date and was given a different date?

help 🄲

I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep having pains in my back/side and it’s exactly like a cramp and it feels as if that part of my back seizes up and tightens and I can’t get rid of the pain, has anyone else had this and if so do you know how to get rid of it 😫 it’s been like this for over a week now, I can’t do anything without it getting triggered, I feel like it may be from the position baby girl is in but I feel so helpless I’m in pain literally everyday 🄲

Scared to remove c section bandage

The midwife told me to remove it on day 5. I had my c section Monday morning so does that mean today or tomorrow?
