Any Sonographers or moms of children with cleft palate here?

I had my 20 week scan today and she looked perfectly healthy and we were told all of her internal structures were looking great 🥰 but they “noticed something odd” in the images and want a better look at her lips because they think she might have a cleft lip and/or palate but couldn’t get a clear read from the stills. Any opinions or advice? Sort of spiraling and our next ultrasound isn’t for 2 weeks, so any words would help!

How to cope, Emergency C section

months of prepping for a water birth and i ended up having to be induced then an emergency c section since baby boy decided he didn't want to come anymore😂 im only 16 days pp but since coming home i've been constantly up and moving about. i don't think i've processed how traumatic the birth was yet since my family and partner haven't really sympathised with what i went through at all

any tips or advice for coping ? should i even bother with talking therapies?

Failed sweep now cramping

I had an attempt at a sweep yesterday afternoon but my cervix was fully closed so midwife couldn’t perform it.

Since then I’ve been very crampy. Does cramping mean the cervix is softening?

Has anyone has a failed sweep that lead to cramping that turned into spontaneous labour?

Just gave birth yesterday and my body is so crampy, achy, and tired…

Any tips you ladies have for relaxing?

Gestational Diabetes

Hi Ladies!

I’ve been diagnosed with GD never had it in my first pregnancy- does anyone have any advice?

UK Mums: Have you ever had your 38 week (or later) midwife appointment at a Children's Center?

Unfortunately my care pathway has changed as my midwife is going to be on vacation for the rest of my pregnancy (to be clear this does NOT bother me, well deserved). And sadly there are no midwife appointments available at my GP, so I have to go to a children's center. The only thing I'm worried about is privacy, as I have attended baby massage classes there and it's just a big open room and I don't remember there being any other private rooms there. I'm worried about how they will do any checks, measurements or even sweeps (if offered). Wondering if any other UK Mums had this happen?

Exhausted 😴

37 weeks today and I have zero energy.

I had 7 hours (broken) sleep last night and by 10:30am I could feel myself nodding off on the sofa.

Really struggling to entertain my 3.5 year old because I can barely keep my eyes open! Tell me I’m not the only one 🥱💤
