Early scan

Baby is tiny 🥹
I’m 5 weeks and 3 days
Still can’t see fetal pole or anything as so small, I have to go back in 10 days.

I guess I’m just panicking as I thought I was further along and was wanting to make sure baby was ok but they can’t confirm that yet. Anyone else been in this position? The wait is too much 😫

This is a baby after a miscarriage early last year.

He’s here!

Well everyone my baby boy is here at 27+1 weighing 2lb 7oz. Waters broke last week and I developed sepsis so they got him out very quickly.

Elective C Sections

Anyone else due in August planning an elective csection? I just had an appointment with the csection specialist to make sure I was making an informed decison. While she said I won't get a date booked in until around week 36/37, she said its likely it will be the 18th, 19th or 20th August. I'm due the 21st! That shocked me a bit as I assumed it wouls be the week before (10th to 14th). Worries about going into labour naturally before then 😬 Anyone else in similar boat? Or do your hospitals do them earlier? She said they follow the WHO guidance and won't take babies out before rhe 39th week.

Anyones child been referred to hospital specialist over clicky hips?

My little girl is 4 weeks old, when she was being checked over at birth, the nurse said she had quite clicky hips and that it should be checked to be on the safe side. I've received the referral letter but I was wondering if anyone else has been through it?

Just wondering what to expect x

Thank you

Driving after c-section

When do you plan to drive again?

I read it’s recommended to wait 4-6 weeks. I’m 4 weeks PP on Monday and feel ready to drive again. I waited 6 weeks with my first but I’m demented without my car plus a toddler!

Dating Scan

Just been for my first midwife appointment today.
All went well, but they have booked me for my dating scan at 15 weeks. Is this normal (UK)?
Anyone else having to wait this long?

Feeling a little bit anxious and in the “is this actually real” stage of pregnancy… I want to tell relatives etc but now my scan is weeks away 😟.
