Gender Scan

I have my second scan next which is when I am 18weeks, the next one isn’t until I am 24 weeks. Do you think they would be able to tell me the gender next week? Has anyone else been told earlier than 20weeks before with their NHS scans? 🤞🏼💚🩷

Is this breathing normal?

Hey guys is this breathing normal in my 1mo?

Induction or elective c section?

Hi ladies, I am 40+1 today. I had a sweep on Friday where my midwife told me my cervix was soft (which she said was good) but it was still high up (Not so good). She's booked me in for another sweep on Friday and she also booked me for an induction this Sunday coming (1 week after my due date which was yesterday). I felt more told than asked which was also not ideal. Ideally I go into labour naturally this week but I am really considering opting for an elective c-section over an induction. What are everyone's thoughts?

Anyone with experience of either it would be really helpful to hear from you as I am a FTM and I have seen research that induction often leads to C-section anyway.

Labour inducing tricks!

I’m 39 weeks and 2 days and I need natural ways to get this baby out. I’ve tried walking, exercising, being intimate, doing things I enjoy (to release oxytocin), raspberry tea, dates (on and off as I really don’t like them), ball exercises, colostrum, and I think that’s it so far. Any other tricks I’m not currently trying? Or any of the above that worked for you that I could try more of. I’m willing to try anything that’s safe at this point!

16 week midwife appointment

I had my 16 week midwife appointment when i was 18 weeks. I just felt like it was a waste of time, she checked my BP and that was it. Said she’ll next see me at around 24 weeks. We didn’t get to listen to the heartbeat or anything

33 weeks

I’m 33 weeks on Wednesday and can’t believe I still have around 7 weeks to go? 😂 I’m exhausted and feel huge! I feel so much bigger and heavier in this pregnancy and tbf this baby is measuring bigger than my first. Anyone else feel the same? X

pelvic girdle pain post c-section

Hiya! I’m currently 6 weeks post c-section, since been 4 weeks I’ve started having pelvic girdle pain and my bones cracking constantly, and severe discomfort with my pelvis that causes me pain when walking and severe discomfort laying in bed, i find that after a walk is when the discomfort is worse and it puts me down for the rest of the day I am seeing the doctor about this issue tomorrow
But I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and what they have found that improves this? Thankyou🧡
