I had mine last week and it was just an opportunity to discuss results from the 12 week scan, she mentioned vaccinations and other appointments I have planned. We also briefly chatted about any thoughts I’ve had around the birth. She tested my urine sample but no other examinations and said she’ll listen to the heart at 25 weeks. Hope yours goes well ☺️

If you really want to hear baby's heartbeat I highly suggest a private scan. It cost me £55 for a early reassurance scan. And I heard baby boys heartbeat at 7 weeks then at 14 weeks when I found out gender 💙

I’ve always had a Doppler at 16 wk appt xx

I had mine last week and I got to hear the heartbeat. Fingers crossed it’s the same for you x

Numbness

Hi pretty mommas, I had an emergency C section 5 weeks ago. My belly is bit numb in some areas and can’t feel anything. Did anyone else experience this? Because I am concerned now. Xx

FTM in need of advice

Hello ladies, I’m 27w5d today and yesterday I noticed less/ softer movement than usual. Just for my own record, I had been documenting his movements pretty consistently but then I stopped for a few days. I’ve started documenting his movements consistently again today and it still feels a bit less/ softer than what it’s often been in the past. I have a posterior placenta so usually I can feel him roll or kick fairly well and often. I’m not sure if he’s just in a different position than usual or if it’s just first time jitters getting to me or if there’s actually reason to be concerned.

Please share any thoughts or suggestions. ❤️

Waters?

I’d just been for a wee and I felt a click type of feeling my knickers were wet. Put a pad in and they are a little wet I keep feeling like I’m trickling but questioning myself 100%
