Bump at 7 weeks

Does anyone else have a baby bump early? I'm sucking in to rule out any bloating in the picture.

Thats definitly a baby bump it could just be alot of the amniotic fluid

If theres a baby in there...its a baby bump!

I'm at 9 weeks and sucking it in cannot cancel out the bloat/bump

Is there a possibility you are pregnant with twins? I never seen a bump so early on

I showed super early, from around 8 weeks I think it was. I was hoping to hide it until 5 months but ended up having to tell everyone at 3 because it was so obvious!

I had a lot of amniotic fluid at the end so not sure if that was a factor at the beginning too.

I was showing at 7 weeks with triplets. Lost one but delivered twins at 32 weeks. Maybe you're carrying multiples!

My tummy grew very early too, but baby is normally low down in the pelvis until second tri, so it wasn't baby. Mine was just pregnancy bloat (progesterone making the gut slow way down).

So upset.

I went to my midwife appointment this morning for a sweep.
Baby has been ready this whole pregnancy. I am 39+3.

I had a scan 8 days ago, she was growing lovely and engaged.

They couldn't do the sweep because baby has decided to completely turn and go breech right at the last minute 😞

Now I have to sit and wait all weekend until I hear from the hospital with a plan.

Stats show the most likely option is now a c section due to the timing.

I am absolutely gutted this has happened 😞

Tightenings on Monitor

I’ve just been on monitor at assessment unit and they’ve asked if I’m having any tightenings and I said I could feel them but nothing major. Midwife said they are measuring higher than braxton hicks, has anyone else had this and it progressed?

Thanks!

Sex after c section…

I’m 3 weeks PP and feel good to go, like I’ve got an itch that needs scratching and I know my partner does too 😅
In the UK we’re advised to wait 6 weeks and he’s super considerate and wants to wait the full 6 weeks to ensure that I’m okay, has anyone else gone for it sooner than 6 weeks after a c section?

Outings with baby

I would love to do my outings with my baby, however every time I take him out I end up having to take him out the pram and walk with him in my arms lol. It therefore puts me off wanting to go out as much because he cries in the pushchair.

Maybe I should take him out more to get used to it? Any other advice on how I can get him to just chill in the pushchair lol.

16 week scan - wrong gender

Did not expect the news today that I’m Infact having a little girl. Everyone says the cord is rare but it clearly isn’t. I’m total shock!

Need to exchange clothes. 🙈 hopefully it’s the same gender at our 20 weeks scan. Haha.
