No scans at this appointment. Your next scan will be at 20-23 weeks. They just check blood pressure, carbon monoxide levels, check through blood test results, a few questions and listen to baby’s heartbeat x

I’ve just had mine, just a routine check up asking if I was still doing the pelvic floor exercises and stuff, telling me about the things she already said last time about vaccinations Available later on and checked my urine sample , BUT also got to hear baby’s heart beat!! 😍no scan though

sorry what?! 🙄🙄

oh I’m sorry..that’s really unfair :/

Would you take your almost 4 yr old to a birthday party at an indoor play place during spring break, with a 10 week old baby?

I know it will be crowded as heck since it’s during spring break. I’ll be holding my 10 week old the whole time but nervous that we might get sick from being inside with all those people for so long

Hormone drip

I’m being induced on Wednesday, with my first baby I was induced but I can’t remember if I had the hormone drip as I was so out of it from gas and air and pethidine.

Can I refuse it this time? As I’ve heard it makes contractions more painful, or can I say if I do need the hormone drip, I will need an epidural can the 2 coincide?

christening/naming ceremony

did anyone have a christening or naming ceremony for their little one? what would you recommend? my boy is 2 months old so i’m not thinking right this second but i want to do something for him. i was baptised as a baby although i don’t follow a religion as of current. it will be my family and friends attending as the father isn’t involved, but that still adds up to a pretty decent turn out. what was everyone’s experiences? tell me everything!
