NHS 12 Week Scan

Hey all, FTM to be and was just wondering when to expect a letter about my 12 week scan. I’m due to be 10 weeks in a couple days So I know i’m still early! My booking appointment was at 8 weeks on the dot so I just thought I would’ve had a letter by now!

Registering birth what would you do 🤦🏼‍♀️

Obviously my boys aren’t here yet but I’ve recently found out they’re reopened the registry office in town so was interested to see what the appointments are like as it’s only open one day a week

When I put it’s two registers twins no appointments show but when I put 1 child there’s one appointment every week for weeks 🤦🏼‍♀️

If I pick the next town over (30-40ish minutes drive on a good day ) I would be able to register them both together

Problem being my husband doesn’t drive, I’m not supposed to drive for 6 weeks as I’m having a C-section and you have to register a birth within 6 weeks 🤦🏼‍♀️

Would you piss around with a taxi (or drive if feel able) to register them both together or piss about register them one at a time over 2 weeks at the registry office that’s literally 5 minutes away

(Trying to plan ahead because I know we’re going to be run of our feet with 2 babies & a 3 year old)

Is this normal?

Sorry if this is tmi but I birth 11 weeks ago. I finally stopped bleeding 2 weeks ago and my period started yesterday. I know the first cycle after delivery is always the worst but I don’t know if this is normal. I’m bleeding through my ultra sized tampons within 2-3 hours. Like bleeding through my pants level and when I take them out, it’s just running out of me like a faucet. Is this normal?

Growth scan for 32-33 weeks

I had my growth scan and didn’t get the new I was hoping for my baby is measuring smaller 3lbs 12 oz I want to know if any other moms are experiencing this as well or how much your babies are averaging at 32 weeks 5days I would love the support 💕

I haven't been drinking enough water is 3D ultrasound pointless?

I have been drinking maybe one of my 26oz cups of water a day I’m sure that’s not enough. I’m getting one of the many ultrasounds of my twins tomorrow (28w) do you think it’ll be way too blurry?

Labor pains or regular pains ?

I’m due for a C-section on the 27th but my doctor said labor could progress before and I’d have to come in earlier so I’m scared to call up and it be labor but I’m scared to call up and it just be regular Pains too .. I’ve been having them for almost 2 weeks now it’s a bruised pulling feeling from my butt bone to my pelvic area when I walk sit or move in bed to get up and I can feel baby pushing hard down there my pelvic bone is straight not curved and it’s causing problems so even if I’m dilating baby can’t come vaginally without complications please let me know what I should do my last was an inducement that ended in emergency c section 2 days later so I didn’t have these pains with him until I was in active labor then I had arrest of labor at 7 cm so they did emergency c section . Sorry for the long post just kinda freaking out and don’t know whether to go or not to labor and delivery just to be sent home any tips on how to tell what pains they are or ways to try and soothe them will help I’ve been staying hydrated and resting like my doctor said when I went in and told her at my last appointment on the 18th but it hasn’t helped at all it’s been like this for almost 2 weeks ..

Mild period cramps - 36+1

From about 9:30pm last night I had period like cramps that I wouldn’t say were consistent but they definitely were coming and going through the night because they kept waking me up. Not severely painful, just mild but noticeably uncomfortable and made me feel like I needed to poop. This morning they are still there and I did manage to poop which relieved it slightly but they’re back every 10ish minutes or so, accompanied by a dull ache in my lower back.

I did go to a gym class last night so not sure if the lower back pain is related to that or not.

Would I be silly to call triage? I’m 36+1, FTM, not sure if this is just Brixton Hicks or my body preparing etc. it seems that pre 37 weeks advice is to maybe call triage?

UPDATE: Phoned triage and she said without any other more concerning symptoms such as waters breaking, blood, baby not moving etc that they weren’t concerned. Just said to monitor and if it gets worse or any new symptoms call back. Baby just doing his thing and getting into position 🥰💙👶🏻
