I feel massive

So havent had 12 week scan yet I think I'm around 11.5 weeks but EPU put me at 10-11 weeks....im already as big as what I was at 24 weeks first pregnancy. Surely it isn't normal to be this big so quick 😅

Private vs first NHS scan

I’m pregnant with my first baby and I went to a private scan at 6 weeks 4 days and I went to my first NHS scan appointment and the difference in size in 5 weeks and 1 day is insane. I find it so crazy how much they grow in such a short space of time 🥹 I’m now 12+4 ❤️ I can’t wait for December to arrive

Growth Scan Referral

I went to triage for some spotting last night (also had some last week, hence the multiple plots on the chart). I’m now feeling really worried! I’ve been told I should have a growth scan tomorrow or Tuesday.

Sundown scaries 😱💀🙃

Im 6 months postpartum and I still am getting the sundown scaries I think anyways. Any one else still getting it? It’s like as soon as the sunsets never fails the anxiety hits this feeling of like the sky is gonna fall hits. And then I can’t sleep as well because my brain just starts to worry about a 1000 things. What do yall do to help with it? Can you take melatonin?

Balloon release

Am I being insensitive for thinking its ridiculous that people would do a massive balloon release in memory of someone who has passed away?

Of course it's extremely sad news and they should absolutely celebrate their loved ones life, but releasing 50+ helium balloons into the sky is such a selfish thing to do, and you'd think people would be more environmentally aware nowadays? Or is it just acceptable because its in memory of someone who has passed and I'm being too insensitive?

Triage

How many times have been gone in to triage for reduced movements? I’m 26+2 but baby has kicked since 18 weeks and started noticing a pattern from around 22 weeks!
