12 week scan

I feel so connected to my baby as a girl, and can’t vision a boy! Everything is telling me it’s a girl but I know it can be either or! Does anyone feel like this at this stage?

I definitely felt more connected to my little girl when I was pregnant with her. I was connected to my 2 boys too, but there’s just a different type of feeling when you’re having a girl. Whatever the gender, that feeling you have shows that you are already an amazing mom and you’ll have a special bond with her or him :) congratulations!

When I was pregnant I would always say I can only imagine myself as a girl mum, the baby is 100% a girl etc. Then we found out he was a boy, I was so worried as I thought if they told me that I’d be disappointed but honestly I wasn’t I was like like oh okay, boy! And now I can’t imagine life without him. Of course naturally I would love a girl, but being a boy mum is just as amazing (we are one and done, so I’m praying when he’s older he has a little girl!😂)

With my first I couldn't envision either gender, but my gut was telling me baby was a girl. Like I was so convinced, and baby turned out to be a boy and I was super happy. Pregnant currently and have my 12 week scan Monday, and everything has been different so far so keep thinking this one may be a girl but like you said could go either way. Again I don't mind either xx

Pain after sex

Like the title says, ive been having some pain after sex. We waited the 6weeks to be intimate. I had my checkup with the ob but after sex (not during) im crampy, bloated, soar, and sometimes I spot. Some positions hurt after more than others. Like, legs up really hurts afterward(I had a c section), so maybe im engaging my abs too much,idk. Is there anyone else? How long does this last? When should I contact a doctor?

GD

Hey!
I've just had my glucose test back and I've got Gestational Diabetes 😩 has anyone else been diagnosed/had it before?
I'm really struggling with coming to terms with it and anxious about how I'll manage it/what it'll mean for the rest of my pregnancy x

Head down movements

Anyone that’s baby is head down, where do you feel your movements?
My movements are all felt pretty much on my left side, maybe like an inch above my belly button but on my left. Hiccups are felt there too. Some times can feel like squirming like really low down. Can’t tell if she’s still breech or not! I’ve got a presentation scan Monday to find out but still interested to find out where everyone’s movements are if head down, or even breech!
