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

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?

And how would you nickname them to make it less awful

Baby number three💕

So I am seven weeks pregnant and typically I am toilet bound for six months of pregnancy because I can’t stop throwing up surprisingly though this pregnancy, I haven’t felt the slightest bit of nausea whatsoever. My first two were girls could this one possibly be a boy?😍

6 weeks not 9? 🤷

So today I had a scan because I have been spotting since Friday. Because the NHS measure your weeks from the first day of your last period, I was told I was 9 weeks. But today on the scan, they saw no obvious reason for bleeding, a sack and a tiny embryo that was 6 weeks not 9.

I have PCOS so my implantation and ovulation could have been delayed from what I thought, but also because I was tracking everything, I believe conception was on the 27/28th April which would actually put me at the 6 weeks that is showing on the scan.

I’m hoping this is the case as otherwise it would be a delayed miscarriage. Although with all the spotting, it’s possible that’s still happening…has anyone else had similar examples of weird or wrong dating, or spotting at 6 weeks that would be light, slightly heavier, ramping up in the middle of the day and then getting lighter again over night…???

Thanks for listening 😬❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Baby Movements

Anyone else so anxious about their babies movements? Not feeling him for an hour or so puts me in the worst mood. Ended up on MAU yesterday as didn’t feel him for 4 hours and then as soon as I got there he was bouncing around !
