Are gender scans worth the money

I think £75 is a lot of money to find out the gender before the hospital appointment but when you find out through the hospital it’s a annoying they can’t write it down just in case they get it wrong

Do you think it’s worth finding out?

I dont think anybody can tell you if its worth finding out as that depends on if you want too or not, if you dont want too its not worth it, if you want too its worth it, i wanted to and paid £80 and was 100% worth it because im
10x more excited but impatient now xx

I had a reassurance scan at 17 weeks where they also offered to tell me the gender but I went to check he was still there...paranoid much. But you've got to do what makes you feel comfortable. I didnt care about gender but my husband was desperate to know so we found out so it depends what's important for you.

It depends on you and what you want. I am soooo impatient so i had gender scans for both but if you're not in a rush then maybe its not worth it. Some places put on deals so you can get it cheaper if you shop around. 🙂

I think it’s all down to personal preference. For me personally as soon as I can go for the private gender scan I will be. I have already paid for an early scan. I’m just very impatient! Xx

It depends on how much you wanna know i almost paid for one but as soon as payday came around there was no point as i had the scan at hospital a few weeks later and didn’t see the point but my mum paid for one when she was pregnant and she said it was the right decision for her so she could have planned the bedroom and clothes etc.

Especially not if it’s window to the womb, they’re very good at getting things wrong I’ve heard

Kit days

I’m just curious to see what everyone else has done. I’m due to go back to work on the 1st September, when the funded hours are available. But the closer I get to returning, the less I want to do my kit days. My job is stressful enough, and they’ve even tried to get me to work more kit days for this reason. I’ve spoken to people that started them, then didn’t do the rest because they realised they would rather spend time at home. Then others have said it’s helped them get a routine (as such).
So just curious to see what others have done/are doing 🙂

What was your elective section experience

I'm honestly terrified of going overdue! I don't want an induction or a c section! But 25% of inductions end in section so I would rather bypass all that pain...

Can you share your stories? How was baby and how was your recovery?

Pregnant after emergency c section

We just found out we are pregnant and I am so so happy! We did have an emergency c section after a failed induction in Sept of 2025.

All in all my recovery was good I was running and lifting by 12 weeks and I have healed one thing I have not anticipated is the mental aspect of the c section. I am worrying at night now about it.

How did you handle the pregnancy after an emergency c section?

Is this normal?

I’m 33+4W and my stomach feels really tight, I have sharp pains in my pelvis when I sit down or go to pee, and I keep getting cramps low down. I’m struggling to sleep at night because of how uncomfortable my stomach feels too. Is this normal at this time?
