Early scan

Hi everyone 🥰 I have a scan at the hospital on Monday where I’ll be just over 7 weeks. I gave birth to my wee boy sleeping at 23 weeks 3 years ago, as he had Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome), then we had a miscarriage in November last year. I’m feeling super anxious about the scan and am so worried that something will be wrong. Does anyone have any advice on how to not get into my own head about it all? 🥺 I am really trying to stay positive, and this time does feel different, but it’s so hard not to spiral!

In 2023 , I went for my 20weeks scan and my baby had an heart defect , I was advised to let him go .
In 2025 , I was anxious going to any of my scan appointments, till I gave birth to my baby boy .
I want you to know just because something happened before doesn’t mean it will happen again , be positive. I’m wishing you the best of luck

Don't have the biggest of advice but if it feels different this time round I'd take that as a positive and hold on to it ❤️. Im going for a private scan tomorrow morning and will be 7 weeks 3 days. I had a miscarriage last year in may. I totally get the whole how daunting it can be. But I have to stay positive too. Just think we got this! Wishing you all best with your scan 💗 xx

Tired.

Mamas… what do you do when you’re tired? Tired of cooking, cleaning, taking care of kids, laundry, dishes, DINNER, taking care of a household shoot taking care of yourself.
I’m a ftm also sahm. I’m tired I want to run away. I feel like I have the whole world on my shoulders, the only true time I have to myself is at night then I’ll have to juggle going to bed at a decent time or stay up and regret it in the morning. I don’t like this feeling, HELP

Chores

When did you guys start vacuuming etc after a c section? I'm over the 6 week mark but can't remember with my first and don't want to push myself too much. X

NHS 12 week scan?

I’m coming up to 10 weeks and have my first booking appointment next week when I’ll be nearly 11 weeks- I’ve not heard anything about my 12 week scan? I had a private scan yesterday (photo) and the sonographer said my NHS scan should have been booked by now otherwise it will be too late to do any health screening?! Now I’m in a panic lol- has anyone else had their scan later than 12weeks as at this rate I think I’ll be having it between 13-15 weeks?

Is this normal or should I be concerned

So I’m a ftm I had my baby Feb 7 and I think I just started my period again I’m not completely sure but I just started bleeding again and been having soreness down there like how I did after I had her and I’ve been feeling nauseous and threw up today I haven’t had any cramps and it doesn’t feel like my usual period I feel like I’m over reacting but I’m not sure cuz again this is my first so idk how healing processes are

20 weeks and baby’s weight so far

My 20 week scan ~ so far my baby is 0lb 14oz and now my delivery has changed to 38 weeks due to my c section scar being too weak apparently. I’m genuinely so nervous about it all. Is that a big weight for the baby so far ? My last were 9 pound and 10 pound babies 😢😢 sorry for the random post this early 😂

C-Section / More Kids?

I was told after your first time getting a c-section, all your future kids would be born that way, is it true moms? Furthermore, I thought I was going to die after that surgery and post partum , to have to go through that again even more than 2 times is scary. I wouldn’t wish this surgery on anyone! Am I alone with this thought?
