Sound?

Anyone else have bad anxiety about sound during sex? I live in a townhouse which does have thick walls but I’m so scared they can hear us. I like even try to not breathe to loud lol. I know I kill the mood. Does anyone else relate?

Silent miscarriage

I am 40. Today I had a 13w dating scan for the first time for our “surprise” baby just to find out that the baby doesn’t have a heartbeat, has lots of nuchal fluids around his neck, down to his spine and around his heart.
My husband is sad, but he went to work (night shift). We are new to this town and I haven’t made any friends yet… my family doesn’t know I was even pregnant… my almost 2 yo little one is unwell with a high fever next to me. I feel so sad and so alone. My body is not showing any signs of miscarriage. I still have nausea and “night sickness”. I just don’t know what to do with myself…

Baby is measuring big - what are my birthing options?

Hey ladies :) I'm 33+4 today and I had a growth scan and they've said baby is measuring big at 96th percentile. This has been the case since 20 weeks but now they've referred me to a consultant to discuss birth options etc and I have to do the gestational diabetes test again (it was fine last time) and I'm just stressing out now 😩 I'm a first time mum and I'm feeling overwhelmed because I'm hearing so many different things. People keep saying that the weight stuff is usually inaccurate, so I'm trying to take things with a pinch of salt. Has anyone had a similar experience and can give any advice?

Elective C Section VS Induction

It is looking very likely that we will be induced around the 37/38 week mark due to babies slowed growth. However, induction was one road I did not want to go down. Everyone I know has had painful inductions and that eventually led to emergency c-sections. I’m considering electing for a c-section instead of putting myself and baby through a lot of stress and pain. I’m so torn! I will be discussing with midwives and doctors in the next couple of weeks (we have a consultation this week and next). What is everyone’s thoughts/experiences?

Movements

Hello all, I’m 19+1 today, I have a higher bmi and haven’t felt much real movement. When I have felt stuff it’s like pops or bubbles which I can’t 100% say are movements. I’m really nervous as this is my 4th pregnancy ( 1 living child) and I’m so worried. Anyone else with a higher BMI having a similar experience?

1st time mum

Hello, I am 38+3 weeks and worried about induction as I have heard that most of the induction turns into emergency C section. My midwife says they will book me for induction on the next appointment if I don’t go into spontaneous labour, someone told me it’s better to just go for C section, now I am so confused and don’t know what to choose.

Do you sleep with a fan in your face while sleeping? I’m trying to see something lol.

I sleep with the fan directly in my face. I know it’s not good to do it can make your mouth and nose dry. But, I do it anyway. My husband hates the fan on him. I can’t sleep without it I love the sound too. He will sometimes sleep on the other end of the bed lol.
