Ultrasound

Hi y’all! I haven’t had an ultrasound where I’ve seen my little man since he was 8 weeks! I’m going on 16 weeks on Sunday and my hospital says at 20 weeks will be when I have my next ultrasound. I feel like this is so longgg. I’m usually a patient person but I wanna see him lol! How has it been for you? 💕🤰

I had one at 7 weeks and 13 weeks and that wait was ok somehow! But now waiting until 20 weeks feels brutal 🥲

I’m in the same boat. It’s hard when the symptoms start and you can’t feel them yet. I did get to hear the heartbeat at my monthly appointment yesterday which made me feel better. You can also purchase your own to keep track.

Go to one of the boutique Ultrasound places, we are going at 16 weeks because they can tell us the gender and we can see them 😊

What about the nuchal translucency ultrasound? why did you doctor skipped it?

I go to the boutique ultrasound place to check in between appointments. I saw him at 12 for the NT sonogram and won’t see him at the doctors office until 20, but plan to visit the boutique in between

UPDATE : booked a boutique ultrasound and appt is in 2 hours!! 😝 Thanks for suggesting this to me!! ✨

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 🙈

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?

Infected c-section site and cold

I’m concerned as I’ve been on antibiotics for an infected c-section site. But have gotten a cold/flu like symptoms now (cough, sore throat, runny nose and headache). Having googled (worst thing I know) it says it could be possible sepsis, I have an appointment Tuesday for a review of previous antibiotics given. Would it be recommend to call maternity unit due to gp being closed over the weekend or do I wait till Monday to see if I can get an appointment then instead of Tuesday.

Any advice would be appreciated
