4D scans and anterior placentas

Hey everyone!! I’m 27 weeks and really wanting a 4D scan!
But.. I have an anterior placenta and the last 2 scans I’ve had this cheeky boy has been on his belly and not playing ball and we rarely get to see his face etc.

Do you think it’s likely I’d have a successful 4D scan or would I be wasting my money?!

I’ve got an anterior placenta too. It took a bit of patience and a few star jumps but we got some really cute 4D shots of our little girl 🧡 really worth it! Xx

I had an anterior placenta with my son and went for a 4D scan. They didn’t get any good images so they let me come back a second time for free and we saw him then :)

I had one after 30 weeks with my daughter and I had an anterior placenta also, it took some time but we got a good facial picture of her x

C-section Scar

I am almost 6 weeks postpartum and my c-section is starting to hurt again. There no redness or anything, just pain. Is that normal? My OB said it was healing nicely and that he wasn’t concerned at my two week appointment.

Uk mums!

Daughter is having general anesthetic for a 10 min procedure. Do I need to pack some pajamas, night nappy and my own snacks for it? I forgot to ask the nurse? Also do they allow hair to be up for the procedure, my girl has crazy hair 😂

Basically any recommendations!

Baby boy names

Only going as anonymous as no one knows what gender we are having yet and few people we know in here 🤭

Any ideas for names for a baby boy? Must be Irish names - we seem to be leaning more towards those as they fit our family the most.
