Bleeding whilst in Early Pregnancy

Apologies if this is triggering for anyone, I am currently 6 weeks pregnant (gestational age) and am experiencing bleeding (not heavy). I had pains similar to those I experienced during ovulation weeks and back ache the past couple of days and started bleeding yesterday. We were told by 111 to go to A&E yesterday, then A&E doctors sent us for an early pregnancy scan today but they couldn't locate the pregnancy. I think I'm too early (possibly 4 weeks after conception) so that's why they might not have seen anything on the scan. I have to go for bloods tomorrow to see if my HCG levels have risen since yesterday. I was wondering if anyone had experienced anything similar and it turned out to be fine? I know every pregnancy/symptom is different but I suppose I'm looking to see what the possibility of it just being implantation bleeding is. Thanks in advance!

How long do you go with no movement to get checked

I’ve been told if I’ve got reduced movements to go in but they never say how long they have to be reduced for

I couldn’t make it there the other day and the next day it went back to normal but he’s got a tendency to go a day without moving at all and then going crazy the next day

So worried I won’t have enough sleep for pushing

I slept for 3 hours at home the night before my induction purely because I was so anxious. They was delayed all day so I wasn’t allowed in until late last night. I had finished the pessary + all my monitoring by 2am, woke up with cramps at 4am then woken up for my observations at 6am. So barely slept for 2 nights in a row now. Everyone keeps saying I need to get as much energy as I can for birth but it’s pretty impossible when I’m in pain very close together & in a room full of people. I’m so worried I will be too tired and won’t be able to do this😩

Belly pouch

After having a c-section I’ve been left with an over hanging pouch which I find disgusting and is making me feel really depressed. Does this go or does it stay? If so any tips to get rid? Used a belly band but no difference. 😭😭

Day to day on maternity

Genuinely interested in what other mum's days look like while on maternity leave. I spend some time cleaning, laundry, doing bottles steralising etc. I break the day up with preparing lunch, maybe a walk but I do spend a lot of time at home with the TV on sometimes it just goes on to the screensaver because I get bored. Sometimes when baby is having a bad day and we're both tired I have put on sensory baby videos or animated book stories like the hungry caterpillar on YouTube on the TV for baby. It is a rare occasion of course but wondering how your days look. What does baby do all day and what do you do? I think it's easy to start questioning how you are doing things when life can be quite isolating at this stage.

Newborn and toddler

If you have a toddler and soon to give birth to a baby.....

I'm worried that my toddler will feel less important or like the baby is getting the attention etc.

I want to make sure she feels Included as much as possible and not like she's being replaced.

I think she will be an amazing big sister. But thinking what can I do to make sure she never questions my love for her....

Are you worried about the adjustment period 2.

Am I goin crazy or do I see a really really faded line??

Ttc for two years but whatever way I hold it I see like a shadow of a line.
