Scanxiety!

Is this just me!?

I have a growth scan today- baby girl’s EFW was 13% at a scan 2.5 weeks ago. This is my third bay and my others have been 50%.

Any words of wisdom? I’m 32+3

8 weeks and tests getting lighter

Hi im currently 8 weeks pregnant and ive noticed that my tests are becoming lighter, I know your going to tell me i shouldn't be testing 🙃 but ive had 4 missed misscarriges in the last couple of years so my anxiety is high! I had a scan at 6+3 with a heartbeat and a crl of 7mm. I just dont understand why the tests are becoming lighter. Its not the hook affect because ive tried to dilute and it becomes even lighter, I have noticed the tests are darker with 3rd wee of the day rather than fmu. Has anyone else experienced this and everything turned out to be okay? I cant help to feel this is going to turn into another missed miscarriage.

Im having an elective c section in 6 days and Im absolutely terrified!

I have chosen to have an elective c section due to having a lot more control over the situation and other factors but now I’m really panicking! Theres only two ways to get her out and they both seem terrible to me 😂. I haven’t ever had any surgery and i even put off going to the dentist or getting blood tests due to my fears.

Im not even sure what I’m looking for here but hopefully hearing some of your guys experiences might help ❤️

Nausea advice

I am 11+1 and I have struggled quite badly with 24/7 nausea, eating and drinking since week 2. I take cylazine, but I dont know if thats making it worse to be honest (I've tried going without to see if it makes a difference, but can't really tell).
The last 2 weeks it eased off a little, but then the last 3 days its flared up again and I have actually vomited a little bile in the mornings then had nausea as bad as it was a few weeks ago.
Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?
