Im getting an nhs one at exactly 6 weeks which is on tuesdayš«¶š¼

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

Iām 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 canāt control and hope for the best. Easier said than done having had a miscarriage previously š¬

I had a private scan at 6 weeks š

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.
Iāve asked to delay from having the scan at exactly 6w so that thereās 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 didnāt want to have to go twice if they couldnāt see a fetal pole or heartbeat etc.
If it werenāt necessary to be able to get the prescription I need, I actually wouldnāt 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 Iām only measuring 5 weeks because my cycles still havenāt regulated as Iām only 10 months PP but saw the sack and they are going to rescan me in 2 weeks time xx

Iāll be waiting until 8/9 weeks for a private as thatās when Iāve gone for my previous 3 pregnancies. I had a miscarriage in 2025 at 5wks so Iād 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 donāt know what they ālookedā like?? I donāt know how else to describe it š

My hospital told me they wonāt scan until 7weeks š. I wanted my scan for 6 weeks as Iāve had a previous molar pregnancy

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

Iām having an nhs reassurance scan next week due to previous losses Iāll 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 Iām at 6w5days

I will at 7 weeks x

Iām going for one at 6w6d because sometimes 6w is a little too early and I know if a heartbeat wasnāt picked up at that point Iād have a meltdown!
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for the best type of underwear to get to wear during c section recovery?

So Iām 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 Iām 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 Iām getting very anxious about trying to deliver an even bigger baby!!
Thankyou in advance

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?

Iām currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep having pains in my back/side and itās exactly like a cramp and it feels as if that part of my back seizes up and tightens and I canāt get rid of the pain, has anyone else had this and if so do you know how to get rid of it š« itās been like this for over a week now, I canāt do anything without it getting triggered, I feel like it may be from the position baby girl is in but I feel so helpless Iām in pain literally everyday š„²

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