What should I expect?
Hey everyone, so at my 20 week scan, it was flagged that my son had some fluid on his kidney, I was told not to worry and that its quite usual for boys but was referred to fetal medicine. My son is now 6 weeks old, on his last scan (a week a go) his left kidney has what is classed as severe hydronephrosis and his right kidney is slightly dilated, he is on trimethoprim and has been since he was 3 days old. He has plenty of wet nappys and he has his 1st consultant appointment tomorrow … can anyone tell me what I can expect from the appointment. Im so scared for him.

Let's be so real... how's everyone finding maternity leave?
Someone asked me, "Are you enjoying your maternity leave?" As in going out, doing things, making the most of it.
Honestly? I haven't been out much at all. I've mostly been at home with my baby, and it definitely hasn't been easy. There have been hard days. My mum comes over and cooks for me sometimes, which I'm so grateful for.
But if you asked whether I'm enjoying maternity leave, I'd actually say yes. I'm genuinely enjoying the slower pace, being at home with my baby, and not feeling like I have to be out all the time. It's not glamorous, and it's not always easy, but these quiet days mean a lot to me.
How's everyone else enjoying their maternity leave? Are you out and about, or are you embracing the slow days at home too?

Blood thinner injections...
Im a week PP and was prescribed 6 weeks of the blood thinners but I absolutely hate them!
At the end of my c-section the anaesthetist said i qualified for 10 days but the surgeon jumped in a said no my bmi is over 40 so it has to be 6 weeks. Thing is, my bmi only hit 40 at the end of the pregnancy so typically its below 40 and ive rapidly lost since the section too...
Would I be crazy to stop at 10 days and not do the full 6 weeks? Its such a big time difference and im really struggling with it 😫😫

How did you know the pessary was working?
I’m having a few pains very low above the pubic bone and in the vagina, does that mean it’s working? And if anyone had the same, what happened next for you?
