Medication

Went for booking scan yesterday twinnies looking great and measuring 13 weeks. They've prescribed me iron and aspirin which is fine then midwife mentioned ive to start clexane injections at 26 weeks. Dreading as was on it 6 weeks post c section with my son. I take it this is the norm for us twin mamas to be 😢 😭

How long to wait

we were recommended to wait up to 18 months to conceive again, it feels a really prolonged time and quite a gap between babies. Can anyone that has had shorter penalties let me know any complications to consider? (Aiming for vbac if possible) Thanks

Is that two faces, or Am I crazy?

First time Mommy!

I swear since I got this ultrasound a month ago, I swear I see another face next to the baby face, but my doctor says it’s only one baby. I was told she was a girl on that ultrasound but I just had one last Monday and it was definitely a boy, and my bloodwork also said it was a boy after I was told it was a girl, so I’m hoping to actually find out on Thursday at my Anatomy scan on which I’ll be 21 weeks exact.

Anyone have any thoughts on this, or am I just delulu.🫩🤦🏽‍♀️

Waters leaking

I went into triage today and they did a test to confirm that my waters are leaking at 36 weeks and 3 days. I have been given antibiotics and have an induction scheduled in for 37 weeks on Sunday. I was wondering if any other mums have experienced this with their previous pregnancies or current pregnancy? The midwife told me that they will try by breaking my waters and wait for the contractions to start. I have never been induced and have been told by people it’s more painful than spontaneous labour. Any advice would be appreciated. Soo nervous ☹️

C section belly 2nd pregnancy, 2nd section

I had a c section today at 14:00.

My belly is still very cone shape and I’m so worried about this, GP is aware but obviously physio can’t really start until I had delivered, but the fact it’s cone shape now, I’m so scared. They said it went really well.

My belly is so big still, so big. I have cried and scared it won’t ever go down 😭😭😭😭

C section

How was everyone’s recovery at 3 week? Scars healing well but in the evening my scar still feels really tight and sore.. only having to take
Paracetemol once a day now is this normal for it to feel sore just in the evenings?

Hard tissue second pregnancy

My first with born via c section 14 months ago and I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant, the last couple of weeks I have had some hard tissue in my overhang, has this happened to anyone else and should I be worried, I just don't want to go to triage and waste their time
