Early pregnancy bump

I am nearly 6 weeks pregnant with my second child and my stomach is so big when I was pregnant with my first I didn’t have a stomach or a bump until I was six months pregnant and now this was my stomach today and I’ve only ate once today I do have a cyst on my right ovary and I don’t know if maybe that’s causing this or if it’s something else or if it’s completely normal

Circumcision 10 months old

Hey,
Today was my child's circumcision appointment, but I stepped away and said no. I didn't dare. How was I going to have the guts to do it? I was at the clinic, and I melted and started crying so badly that I couldn't. Now, have I made the right decision? I wasn't ready

What was your experiences in getting it done in older kids?

Thanks

Hospital bag

Packing my bag, will the hospital have towels? This is my second baby I took way too much with my first and so don’t have much space for a towel now 🫣

Obstetric appointment

Hello Ladies, has anyone on here been to one of these appointments before ? I just wonder what it is about, i tried to google it but seems like a midwife app? Just a fancier name 😉

Do you see a line?

I can see it better in person there is definitely a faint line I just don’t know if it would be an indent

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!

On and off bleeding

So im 16 days postpartum and my bleeding was pretty minimal, and after a week id say it stopped or was extremely light but the last few days ive been bleeding on and off it will be like all of a sudden then it goes away again. Is this normal?

Any advice is appreciated. I had a vaginal birth with an epidural and had quite a few stitches.
