I didn’t hear the heartbeat at 20 week scan??

I went today for the 20 week full scan and anatomy and we did not get to hear the heartbeat (I had not asked to hear it as I was so wrapped up in “is the baby okay” that I forgot) I googled it and it said we should have done, what do I do?

Can't feel any movements yet

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and recently had my anatomy scan which showed I have an anterior placenta. Now I'm anxious I won't feel my baby move because of it. If anybody had the same experience, please share in the comments. Thank you. xx

How were the out-of-pockets for your childbirth/ delivery handled?

Hey Mamas! I’m curious about how you and your partner handled the financial side of the delivery and hospital bills so I can make a better informed decision.

( feel free to drop a comment if you handled it any other way or if you had a joint account)

Driving Post C Section

I am less than a week post section but my recovery has been really good and I can’t bear another 5 weeks of not driving.
Has anyone had sign off from a doctor before the 6 week point? Do I just book a routine appointment in a few weeks to try and get this?

Pain - 5 weeks since 2nd c section

Under my belly button, my lower belly and to the right side is so painful. I saw a GP who sent through for an urgent scan however it can take 2-3 weeks still.

Today I’ve stayed in bed all day and rested and the pain is still bad. It’s like a sharp, burning pain and it feels like my whole belly is being dragged down.

I feel like I have to grip onto something or sit because of it. Has anyone else had this? I’m so so bloated as well. My scar seems to be healing well, it’s internal and I’m worried with how bad the pain is getting.
