20 Week Scan

Hello everyone!

Ive got my 20 week scan the end of this week and im not sure how to prepare.
Do I still need to have a relatively full bladder?

Any guidance welcome! ☺️

Had mine last week. They said by 20 weeks your far along you don't need a full bladder x

The more hydrated you are during the week, the clearer the scan but you don’t need to go with a full bladder x

i didn't have that full a bladder and the scan was harder as a result, so i would suggest still fill up a bit but no need to go extreme! other than that nothing to prepare. they might ask you to wiggle around a few times if the baby is in an inconvenient position.

I never go with a full bladder. I just have a glass of water before the scan x

Rolling?

I know this has been asked before but I wanted to canvas you all for an update on our babies and rolling now we’re 6 months in. My boy can roll front to back but has no interest in rolling back to front… don’t know if I should be concerned.

Baby Boy is 2 months!

Oml! It’s already been 2 months since this angel was brought into my life! I love seeing his beautiful smile 🥰 He’s getting so big so fast. He’s finally gaining weight and not having too much reflux! I felt so bad when he had to get his shots yesterday! 🥺 Happy 2 months to my little hungry caterpillar! Mommy loves you so much 💙🥳🎉🥹

Unsuccessful sweep now mucus plug?

Hey I’m 39+2 today and yesterday I went to my midwife to have a sweep preformed to try start me before I go over 40+ weeks (due to stillbirtjh in family after that time) she explained that my cervix was open at the front but closed at the back so she “agitated” it a bit to try get things moving. I have a few cramps since then and have been on my feet walking a lot like she suggested. This morning I woke up and I had my plug (my show) come away so does that mean my cervix could finally be open and labour is near? Thanks in advance ☺️

Kids birthday parties

Do you think a 3pm–5pm party is too late for a 6th birthday on a non-school night?

Freaking out!!!

My baby’s head is messuring on the 97th centile and I have just read that it could be Macrocephaly 😰 or linked to later autism… And I wonder if I am even able to give birth to such size of head. I don’t know why my midwife has not Said anything about it.
