Your first ultrasound experience?

Any ladies felt any discomfort or pain? from the pressure? ive always felt sensitive if anyone touches my belly lol. the woman was rougher and the man was way better!

maybe my belly fat doesn’t help either. if i had done it myself it would have been less pain because it’s anticipated movements from my hands lol

Yes I felt uncomfortable too I wouldn’t say painful just comfortable 🥴 I grunted a few times and they did apologise 🙂. So your not alone x

Abdominal? I find the pressure is really hard especially early on,I'm larger (not massive) so they really press down to get a good view

my first scan I honestly felt no discomfort or pain as the lady was so gentle but my second scan?? omg this lady was SO rough.. could still feel the pressure the next day it felt like I did a whole ab workout or something🤣🤣I think it just depends on the sonographer maybe

Another heatwave?

Help! I’m being induced on Monday 😭. This is making me more stressed than the impending labour!

6-8 Week appointment

Hey everyone,

I’ve just had my 6–8 week postnatal appointment after a vaginal birth, and I’m a bit surprised that there wasn’t really any physical check to see how everything had healed.

My appointment seemed to focus mostly on baby, with only a few questions about how I was feeling.

Just wondering what other people’s experiences were and whether this is normal. Thanks 😊

Sex 5 weeks after c section?

Has anybody experienced having sex 5 weeks post c section? I’m not sure what the guidance is and I’m scared of it hurting/ causing any damage but do feel mentally ready.

Any advice please?

Best outing for a first birthday

I am thinking rather than putting on a gathering party my little one would rather have an adventure, I am posting distances from us as this should be a factor in the poll, and his birthday is in August

32 weeks

I’m 32 weeks and so so exhausted is this normal? I feel like I can’t do anything resting makes me feel guilty! I’ve also seen stars in the corner of my eyes once today and twice yesterday only for a split second is that cause for concern?
