Emergency scan

Hi! I went to triage on Saturday night for reduced movement as I hadn’t felt baby all day. I was checked over with Doppler etc and sent on my way - midwife said everything was great.

I’ve just been called by the hospital that I’m booked in for an emergency scan and it’s just taken me by surprise. Has anyone else experienced this?

So I had the same thing when I went in for reduced movements except I was told I had to go back every 48 hours to be checked with the doppler until I had a scan to confirm baby was okay.

After a certain point in your pregnancy you’ll be sent for a scan after reduced movements to make sure everything is okay. I was being sent for scans every time I went in for reduced movements just to make sure that everything was okay and baby was growing and placenta was working x

Ah okay thanks girls!! This is my first baby and first reduced movements so I was unsure when they called me this morning. Thank you x

Same thing happened to me! I was sent for a scan the day after just to confirm and everything went well :)

Newborn essentials

Went into Mama’s and Papa’s yesterday but found it so overwhelming. Anyone have any recommendations of things we absolutely need for the newborn and what you couldn’t live with out? Which pushchair did you go for? There’s so much to choose from! First time mama needs help 💖

Confused by gender

Hey! Just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar

I’ve had two blood tests one at 9 weeks and another at 10 weeks and both came back showing girl chromosomes. However, whenever my doctor looks at baby on the scan, he can clearly see a nub between the legs. It was still really obvious at our most recent 12-week scan too!

Has anyone had this happen where the blood tests say girl but the scans have looked more like a boy? Did it become clearer later on?

We’re now waiting until our 16-week scan to see if anything changes 💕

Period at 3and a half weeks PP

I’m convinced my period came back on Friday, but when I’ve googled it it says it’s just the PP bleeding. But that stopped over a week and a half ago (had a C-Section). I know it can start up again but this feels very different. I have had a migraine (only get them when I’m on my period), constipation and the pattern of the bleeding is exactly like my periods used to be. Could this be possible? Baby is 4 weeks old tomorrow.

NHS & appointments

I had my ‘booking’ in appointment yesterday over the phone and they set up my app and things. I have an appointment on there for 16 weeks but I still can’t see a 12 week appointment?

Is this normal?

17 days post c section.

So I’m 17 days post c section and on my left side I can really feel what I can only describe as an internal incision/stitches I feel it most when I move in certain positions, stretch, sit up etc. it’s like a pulling/tugging sensation it’s kind of hard to explain.

Has anyone else experienced this? I have an appointment tommorow with the wound clinic.

Period returning

When did your period return? Im 31 says post c section and I have some fresh, bright red blood. My bleeding was very minimum since surgery and just had some spotting for past week or so. But now I've got a bit more and its not old blood. Not sure if it's a period or I've over done it or something
