a little concerned
so i’ve seen multiple people have 20 week anatomy scan and people have genetic testing done before or at 20 weeks but i’m concerned that my ob hasn’t done genetic testing or a anatomy scan.

I would definitely bring this up to your OB and advocate for yourself especially if you're wanting these tests run!!
Make sure youre vocal about these tests with your ob and that you want to do them ASAP. They will accommodate. My midwife told me to speak up about what I want and thats helped me so much. I even got to do an 19week and 3 day anatomy scan because I pushed for it. 🙏 stay positive and Advocate for yourself. 💕
If you don't feel heard or seen by your doctor you should find a different one. That goes for any doc but especially one you're trusting with your and your child's lives. Sending good vibes that you get this resolved easily 😺
Always be vocal but for a peace of mind mine isn't scheduled until week 24

Back to work after mat leave
Hi all, I started back on work Tuesday after a year off, my lg is 10 and half months old I also have a 5 year old who’s in y1.
I only work 3 days a week Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I honestly feel so run down already and I’ve only done my second day I honestly don’t know how I’m going to do this for the foreseeable it’s just constant. I have so much to do yet I’m sat here eating cake and a super noodle for my tea because I don’t have the energy or time to cook my self anything.
I’m a hairdresser and I just feel mentally and physically drained already. Does it get easier

Pregnancy pp
🫣 Posting anonymously because I’m not quite ready to put this out there yet…
I’d love some opinions from other moms! I’m wondering if there’s a possibility I could be pregnant, but I’m trying not to convince myself based on symptoms. 😂
My period is expected in about 5 days, and lately I’ve been EXTREMELY tired/exhausted. Tonight I suddenly started feeling really nauseous and needed a ginger chew, which is unusual for me. I also noticed my breast milk supply seemed unusually low recently.
The weirdest thing is that when I was pregnant with my daughter, tomatoes/red sauce made me incredibly sick. Tonight we had pasta with red sauce, and afterward I started feeling really nauseous again. 🤢
I’ve also noticed that my boobs look HUGE after pumping, which is something I specifically remember happening when I was pregnant with my daughter before I even knew I was pregnant.
I have been testing, but so far I’ve gotten negative pregnancy tests. The thing is, when I was pregnant with my daughter, I also took multiple negative tests. I kept testing and testing, and it wasn’t until I was around 7–8 weeks pregnant that I finally got a very obvious positive. So the negatives right now aren’t necessarily making me feel completely convinced either way. 😅
I know PMS can cause a lot of the same symptoms, and breastfeeding can make cycles and hormones unpredictable, so I’m trying to stay realistic. But with the nausea, exhaustion, breast changes, lower supply, and the fact that some of this feels eerily similar to my last pregnancy… I’m definitely wondering. 👀
For those of you who found out you were pregnant before your missed period, did you have symptoms like this? Did you get negative tests at first and then eventually get a positive? And has anyone else noticed their breasts looking especially large/full after pumping as an early pregnancy symptom?
Would love to hear your experiences/opinions because I’m driving myself crazy trying to figure out if I’m imagining things or if my body is trying to tell me something. 😂❤️

C section recovery kit
Do you think it is necessary? The belly band, silicone strips etc? Never had one before so wondering if this would help or whether a waste of money!

What are we all taking for the heart burn.
I’m in utter agony and the thought of Gavascon makes me want to vomit. It’s been so bad today I’ve barely eaten, I’ve been sick and was close to going into hospital I was so lethargic. The pain is horrific.
