Icky or not?

To cancel my gym i need to prove that im pregnant (they want a scan photo). Now, from a company/business perspective I totally get it. However, how many women are cancelling their membership because they're pregnant? It feels icky. Like what if I had had a miscarriage before my scan - i'd have to prove that? What if I dont want to share my scan photo? I come and pee on a stick in front of you? It just feels a bit anti-woman and not well thought through

They shouldn’t need a reason it’s a service you can cancel.

I definitely feel like this somehow has to violate hippa.

I'm in the UK as well. I haven't had my scan yet - not sure whether to send it or not or complain 🤔

When you sign up they should have provided their contract with policies, terms and conditions. Look in there and see what would apply in your case.

I cancelled my gym membership when pregnant with my 1st baby as I was also moving house and it made sense. I didn’t have to provide any reason, let alone evidence!

Is this is your contract? Like you can cancel with no fees if you have a medical exemption?

wtf this makes no sense. You should be able to cancel without providing a reason.

They said it was in their terms and conditions so ive asked them to send that through. Looked through everything I was sent and cant find it so we'll see. I'm glad its not just me though - wasn't sure if I was overreacting

Just cancel it, you don't need to prove anything.

That's so odd, why would they need a reason? I simply don't want to go anymore.

Bump..

Just hit 26 weeks pregnant and I CANNOT stop comparing my bump to other people! It doesn’t help with hearing “oh you’ve popped” or “where did that come from” every bloody day🙄
What are our 26 week bumps looking like? This photo was taken today and I am 26+1

More info for cesarean

Hi everyone, 26 weeks, just had my follow up scan after finding out at 20week (done at 22w due to scheduling) that I have complete placenta Privia. My dr said it was still early and can move as baby grows however today at our second scan, he said as it hasn’t moved in 4 weeks, and he is concerned that it may not move. He started taking about c sections and the high risks associated with it, and my head just wants to explode. I have had two medically perfect unmedicated births, and now I have to have my worst fear of being cut open come to life. I am absolutely terrified of having a c section. The whole reason I’ve done unmedicated both times is because I hate hospitals, I hate hate hate needles and how not only do I have to give birth in a hospital but also have to have a cesarean, and my entire medical team is going to be changed. I’m just so heartbroken and terrified. Im not sure exactly what I’m looking for, I guess just reassuring words or advice. Thanks

When did your pregnancy sickness get better?

I’m almost 8 weeks pregnant with my second, and the sickness this time is horrific. With my first little boy I had zero sickness at all, my pregnancy was a breeze. But this time it’s taken me out, and ofc I wasn’t expecting this as my first was so easy. I am gagging every 10 minutes almost throwing up, I am exhausted and I can hardly do anything, I can hardly eat and drink, I’ve never felt so ill in all my life.
When does this subside, because the mum guilt is eating me alive as I am feeling so unwell I cant do much with my little boy

(Fyi I’ve already had an early scan and there is one healthy baby ❤️)
