Valentines baby 💕

Posted earlier this week about scan anxiety following mmc last year. Had my scan this morning and all was well. Was such a relief. Had almost a 30 min scan as baby was so active they couldn’t take measurements 😅 my stomach is going to be sore later 🤣 but at least I got to see baby for an extended time. Due date moved up one day to the 14th Feb as well 🥰 my little valentine ♥️

Sticky eyes

Hi everyone! My baby is nearly 5 weeks old and has gammy/sticky eyes since birth... I feel like I'm constantly cleaning them and using breast milk on them. They've been swabbed twice now and midwife said its nothing to worry about, I just wondered if anyone else had a similar issue? I feel so bad for her, some times they look to be clearing up and then it comes back!
Born via cesarean.

Cramping at 20 weeks

Hello everyone I’m 20 weeks+4 and the past couple of mornings I have woke up with some cramping on my lower left side of stomach, not so much like period cramps but it feels tight and heavy and can be a bit painful, usually it goes within 20 minuets but today it’s lasted an hour so far, is anyone else experiencing this or previously experienced ?

Internal ultrasounds

Apparently I’ve gotta have one….. today…..
Could someone who’s had one tell me about it. Does ir hurt like a speculum does???
shitting it tbh. You’ve got the normal people worries about this and then me with this whole pregnancy being awful because of previous sa trauma.

What to do if over due?

Has anyone gone to 42 weeks in any pregnancies before allowing intervention?
2nd - from experience, would you choose induction or elective c section if got to 42 weeks?
I dont think ive ever heard a single good induction story

My 1st child was spontaneous and very quick, no intervention at all. However this baby seems to want to stay in!

Cramping

So currently 37+4 with my second. Last night I fully thought I was going to in to labour. I’ve had period like cramps along with mild contractions from 4am onwards that it kept me awake until 6.. it then went and it’s now intermittent. So weird. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
