Watchful management
I was told I am on expectant management for my ectopic pregnancy because my HCG was 90 and the ectopic looked to be small. The nurse said it would be a great sign if I started bleeding because that would mean it’s resolving itself. I need to go back in for bloods this Sunday. Anyways, I started bleeding last night and all day today. There’s lots of small clots coming out and it’s maybe like a medium flow period. I feel really wiped out at the moment though and unwell in general. I am not in pain, I’m not passing out and I’m not soaking multiple pads in an hour so there’s no red flags but I can’t help but feel really anxious about this all. Has anyone else experienced this and know what to expect?

I had a normal period and continued spotting for weeks after with mine and still needed surgery so bleeding doesn't nessseserily mean you've passed it but they will probably check it again once you've stopped bleeding and asses wether it's resolved itself. It's such a horrible thing to go through. Take it easy and be kind to yourself.

Jury in the LC trial
So the jury has been sent back in a deadlock. I'm so conflicted on my opinion about this case, I'm not sure she was in psychosis but don't feel the CW has given enough evidence that it's not a possibility. How/what sealed your opinion on the case? (If you've followed it).
I'm not even entertaining the idea that it was PCs fault.

C section date
I got my planned c section date today, the consultant wanted to book me in for 39+2 but I insisted on 40 weeks exactly. I didn't want to give birth earlier than necessary and both my children were born 41 weeks exactly (1 spontaneous labour 1 induced). I'm just panicking a bit now I've only ever had emergency sections, how likely is it that I will go into labour early? Did I make the wrong decision should I ask to change the date. TIA

GROW Scans
I just had a GROW scan at 32 weeks as my midwife referred me to it as the baby was just above the 10th percentile.
I don’t know why I feel so upset about the baby being small. I’ve always been very healthy and I think I’m doing all the right things and eating healthy and trying to rest and stuff and I know all babies are different and depends on your body and stuff. He’s a healthy baby just small but for some reason it worries me that he’s small?
I think its the lack of speaking or comments made by the people doing the scans like you ask questions and its all “yes/no, it’s normal” like is it tho?
I dont know if I’m overthinking it! Anyone else feeling a bit deflated about their own scans?

C sections
I’ve opted for an elective section this time round, due to a difficult natural birth last time, can someone help ease my anxiety?! You hear all the horror stories but not the ones that are positive
TIA
