The ultrasound tech should ask if you want to know before they reveal it! Just let them know you want it to be a surprise and they’ll tell you when to look away

You can tell them you don’t wanna know and they will make sure you only see an angle you can’t tell if it’s a boy or a girl at

we were asked at the beginning of the appointment, and we were told when to turn away. we even thought we'd spoiled it for ourselves but we were wrong when we found out later lol! you won't spoil it for yourselves, they'll tell you how to avoid it. they even had us look away at one point just in case while they were checking something totally different.

We didn’t find out for our son, we had very regular scans to measure his growth and the sonographer always avoided the area… once we went and both hubby and I said did you see a scrotum 🙈😂

If you had a c section did they announce your hemorrhoid status in the recovery room?

I don't remember this from the first time but when they were moving me to the recovery bed they flipped me over like a fish they just caught, examined my rear and announced "no hemorrhoids" to the room. 😭😂

As, my family will not be here( living in other country) and his family is somewhat not in good terms. So basically its just some of my workmate and some of his friends. Also, i dont know how to arrange a birthday party at all plus i dont usually dont know how much money i have to spend?😔😔
Now, i feel so deflated. I need help badly. Thank you.

C-section recovery

Hi all, I ended up having a C-section a fortnight ago and I have had to ask for more medication as I still had pain after the period they gave medication for. I’ve finished the blood thinning injections and now have the anti inflammatory and dehydrocodine if needed.

I’m finding that I’m having an on and off sharp pain in my right hand side that some days are barely there and I feel like I don’t need meds, then other days it’s unbearable.. is this normal recovery or something I need to bring up with my midwife? I’m also finding I am bleeding.. then it completely stops.. then starts heavy again ?!?

Health visitor just said it’s normal? But wanted to see if anyone had this?
