Flying pregnant
I’ve just found out I’m pregnant just over 4 weeks I go away at the beginning of November I’ll be roughly 10-11 weeks I won’t have had a scan yet (unlikely) I’m not even sure if I will have had my first midwife appointment by then🤔 am I still okay to fly? It’s a 4 hour flight.
Should I get a private scan to confirm everything is okay before hand?

If youre in the UK youll have your first midwife appointment at week 8 and the scan at week 12. So youll be able to ask them there about what they suggest.
Yes you can fly. I did. They recommend flight socks and short haul flights only. X
Yes I flew to Dubai and back for my 30th in my first trimester. It was fine.
I flew at 10 weeks and then back at 12 weeks. We did get a private scan at 9 weeks but it was more for the announcement we made while we were away. The flight itself was absolutely fine
I flew to Mexico from the US while I was in my first trimester, babe is now a perfectly healthy 3 month old

Hip cramps & pain at night - 23weeks (have had it for ages)
Although it might be a normal symptom for pregnancy, I haven’t slept properly in what feels like months now. I eat a banana a day, drink as much water I can, and use magnesium body butter at night. Can anyone recommend something that worked for them? I have been looking at Oshun magnesium and/or electrolytes that I can add to water but remember my midwife telling me not to take electrolytes/extra. Any advice welcome, I just wanted to sleep without the constant “left, right, left, right…” Sometimes up at 3/4am and still working full-time teaching maths so really struggling. 🙏🏼

C-section help please 🙏
Hi everyone !
I had my appointment yesterday 38+5 weeks which went abit sideways to say the least 🙈
I was meant to be getting induced next week but little man has apparently jumped from 8lbs 6 to nearly 11pounds in 2 weeks (no gestational diabetes)
I got told I had to have a C-section instead now and have never had one so am flapping like a headless chicken 😂 what essentials did you all need / wish you had after a C-section please 🙏 any tips welcome as I’m currently just a blubbering mess as it wasn’t how was planned 😂😂

Going into labour
Is there anything that actually works to try and go into labour?
I'm willing to give things a go as I'm so fed up now 😂 aiming for a vbac so trying to avoid c section if I can 🤞🏻 but have agreed to section if I get to due date and nothing has happened 🙈
