ICP /growth scans

Hey ladies , me again I had my 28week midwife appt today.

Has anybody in here been sent for blood tests to test for ICP ? If so how was your experience and how long for the results .As have been sent today for blood tests for ICP .

I feel like my mind is doing over time .

On top of that something was found in my urine (not too sure what it is ) so they have sent it to the lab . And I have also been sent for growth scans as baby boy has apparently shrunk in the last 3 weeks 🙈 I feel like that’s a lot of uncertainty from one appointment and just would like to hear your experiences x

For those who had a vaginal birth, did you have a poo while pushing??

Sorry for the silly question.. but it’s something that hunts me!

Question.

Hi, moms I need some advice! I’m 32 weeks pregnant . all day today I’ve been having a bit of cramping/pelvic pain really bad just below my belly. should I go get checked out? I also was having a lot of back pain, both feel like cramping I’ve had in the past when I was on my menstrual cycle . it definitely hurts I couldn’t sleep.

Induction method

Second time being induced. Just got the news today that I'll be induced on Sunday due to calcium on my placenta, baby measuring on the 5th centile, and reduced movements.

First time I got the pessary put in, was extremely sore and unpleasant and took 36h to finally being 2cm dilated. I am not sure I want this again.

Any recommendations on induction method that worked well for you and didn't take forever?

Thank you girls!

Symptoms easing?

Hi I am about 11 weeks and past few weeks was suffering so badly with exhaustion and mood swings (my mental health has definitely taken a hit in first trimester) ive had no nausea or vomiting really, past few days I have felt relatively ok which made me worry! However last night I sniffed some bananas in our kitchen that had gotten warm and my god I have never been so close to projectile vomiting in my life 🤣
Has anyone else found an easing of symptoms around this time?
I have my 12 week scan next week though I predict I will be a few days behind based on my cycle length and past private scans
I haven't had a private scan since 7th May so I keep worrying if everything is ok!
Any reassurance welcome 🤣

Passport turn around

Does anyone already applied and got child uk passport? How long that took you? I am planning to travel 2 months after my baby is born and just wondering if it is feasible. Thanks
