Pregnant??

Hey!!
I just wanted to ask what you guys think..
so on the 11th Aug - I had some spotting I thought nothing of it at first until I told my partner and he asked if I think I should take a test.. so he bought me one, I did a test on the 14th Aug morning time, it came back positive! We talked it through and decided to go ahead with it, I had some cramping and odd nights where I felt sick but wasn’t, I then did another test but it came back negative, I called my doctors and let them know, they said it could be too early to tell if I actually am or not but to do a test on Friday morning (tomorrow) a friend of mine thinks it could be etopic, as I have hot flushes, and odd nausea here and there with the cramps.
Previous to this I haven’t had my period since 11th of June but in close end of July I had done a test and it was negative.. so I’m very confused, as I never had this situation before, just wanted your guys opinion on this matter

(Edit: I’ve had no bleeding since the spotting and haven’t had as many cramps)

Baby Amara is here 😍💗

I got induced on Tuesday 18th August via pessary then after 24 hours the midwives broke my waters at 5pm yesterday. After less than 7 hours of labour I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl this morning at 12:04am and weighs 7lb 12oz. I asked for an epidural but it failed and before I knew it I had to push and she was out in a few minutes. My fourth and last baby and I'm so blessed to have her 😍🥰

Universal credit has asked me to send my bank statement. Has anyone been asked this before. ? What happens during the telephone calls

No symptoms/bump has shrunk?!

I’m 17+5 and my bump has shrunk (I didn’t know this could happen?!) I have zero symptoms and I can’t feel movement (never have). I’m really panicking but I can’t get a reassurance scan anywhere. Is this normal??

Growth scan

Whats everyones baby’s measuring? I’m 33 weeks and baby is measuring on the 37th percentile at 4 pounds 5. Just curious if anyone else has had a growth scan and what the measurements are

When to start wearing belly band, start cream, silicone patches for scar?

So I'm 7 days pp, just had my pico dressing taken off. But I'm getting so confused, every time I'm seeing someone different (midwives, doctors) and as you can imagine everyone says something different.
Last scar I had keloid I really want to minimize the risk of it happening or at least prevent it from forming that big.

When is the best time to start using cream, belly band and silicone patches? Once they told me to use scar patches after 6 days which is when stitches dissolve, now they told me to wait 2-3 weeks.., some people after c section put the belly band next day as well.

Let me know what did work for you? Is there a general consensus?

For those who have had a growth scan - how long before you got your appointment time?

I had my 36+4 week midwife appointment yesterday, baby is measuring 98th percentile (I know from my first that this isn't reliable). Therefore the midwife has asked for a growth scan. I'm just seeing how long it took from your midwife emailing for one before you got your appointment date? Also because I am swamped with appointments this week and next, it also took them 3 weeks to FINALLY give me my VBAC consultation appointment.... They had to email the hospital 3 times, so I'm kind of worried my scan will be the same issue.
