Am I allowed to take my child to my ultrasound appointment, it in Aberdeen and through the NHS, I did have childcare in place however it’s fallen through last minute and as it’s the first appointment I don’t want to miss it?

I asked the other day and they said they tend not to want children there because they really need to concentrate but if things happen that can’t be helped. Depends what age your kid is maybe put them in a buggy strapped in with a phone or something to keep then occupied whilst you’re being seen too

NHS never let me take my son in with me sadly, hopefully they let you but I doubt it😢 probably make you reschedule.

I’ve had to take my son (16m) to 2 scans so far as I just didn’t have childcare, none of them mentioned it, if anything they were happy to see him. Maybe depends on the age? Both scans at Aberdeen maternity hosp, one in the rubislaw ward and one in the scanning department x

I took my 2yr old daughter at the time she sat in her pram in the corner of the room watching cocomelon at a low volume the technician made such a stink about it constantly saying she couldn’t concentrate and I really shouldn’t of had her there… she didn’t make a sound she ended up ending the appointment and telling me I needed to rebook.

I am based in Aberdeen and sometimes couldn't sort out childcare for my 4 yo and took him along to ultrasounds which was fine and they were understanding

11 weeks pp and pregnant?!

Im absolutely shitting myself, me and my partner have been so carefull (we use condoms and he also pulls out) but im late on my period and i cant get to the shop for a few days due to no car and im thinking im possibly pregnant. When i was pregnant before the animals were different the dog became more protective of me and the cat hated me and always tried to bite me. and they have recently been the same. Im trying to think if i have any possible early symptoms so i can convince myself im not 😂 the only thing i have is feeling sick alot and nauseous lol.
what was everyones first symptoms when you’ll were pregnant???

C section form

Anyone had to sign a contest form for their c section? And go through loads of risk factors of the surgery? I have mine tomorrow and had to do all that, I’m now terrified lol

Is this dress yes or a no?

We are going to Japan for 3 weeks in July and 13 of those days we are on a cruise. There is a bunch of formal nights and formal events and for some of them I’m doing a 80’s glam theme. I already got the dresses for those but I’m looking for some fun and fancy dresses that aren’t vintage also. I’ve been eyeing this particular dress for MONTHS. I kind of love it, but I think it might also be too weird 😆. What do you think?

Pelvic girdle pain and birth

I have been experiencing awful pain. More so recently. I'm now using crutches to get around but it's more painful at night and when I lay down or sit down. I'm worried about birthing. I've got other issues and baby boy is estimating 8pounds at 36 weeks. I've been booked in for an induction 9 days prior to my due date. Surely he's going to be even bigger and I just don't feel like I've had any birth discussions in detail really. Ive only seen midwife twice and each time I've seen a consultant it's someone different. Has anyone else experienced awful pelvic pain and birthed a big baby?
