NHS & appointments
I had my ‘booking’ in appointment yesterday over the phone and they set up my app and things. I have an appointment on there for 16 weeks but I still can’t see a 12 week appointment?
Is this normal?

My appointments very rarely showed on there, had a letter through for my 12 week scan a week or so after my booking appointment.
It can take a while to come through annoyingly. Do you know if you are consultant led? 16 weeks I think was the first time i saw the consultant. Surprised about booking being over the phone, you should have had bloods taken, urine checked and bp taken 🤔
The appointments can come through from different departments at different times. Because the 12 week one is a scan, it likely comes through from somewhere else.
Your 12 week one often doesnt show in badger notes, will just get a letter
Your 12 week is a scan not a midwife. Also why was your booking on the phone, what about your booking bloods……

Newborn essentials
Went into Mama’s and Papa’s yesterday but found it so overwhelming. Anyone have any recommendations of things we absolutely need for the newborn and what you couldn’t live with out? Which pushchair did you go for? There’s so much to choose from! First time mama needs help 💖

Confused by gender
Hey! Just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar
I’ve had two blood tests one at 9 weeks and another at 10 weeks and both came back showing girl chromosomes. However, whenever my doctor looks at baby on the scan, he can clearly see a nub between the legs. It was still really obvious at our most recent 12-week scan too!
Has anyone had this happen where the blood tests say girl but the scans have looked more like a boy? Did it become clearer later on?
We’re now waiting until our 16-week scan to see if anything changes 💕

Nightmare birth?
Anyone else have a nightmare experience? I wont elaborate much here because i dont want to horrify anyone. But. Im still in hospital after delivery and feel like im literally going insane from the stress of how badly it has gone. I have only slept a grand total of about 4 hours in 4 days. And feel like i keep hearing things that are not really there. Like music or animal sounds. The 20 mins of grand total sleep ive had since after i delivered was pure nightmare. Im drowning in stress

Period at 3and a half weeks PP
I’m convinced my period came back on Friday, but when I’ve googled it it says it’s just the PP bleeding. But that stopped over a week and a half ago (had a C-Section). I know it can start up again but this feels very different. I have had a migraine (only get them when I’m on my period), constipation and the pattern of the bleeding is exactly like my periods used to be. Could this be possible? Baby is 4 weeks old tomorrow.

17 days post c section.
So I’m 17 days post c section and on my left side I can really feel what I can only describe as an internal incision/stitches I feel it most when I move in certain positions, stretch, sit up etc. it’s like a pulling/tugging sensation it’s kind of hard to explain.
Has anyone else experienced this? I have an appointment tommorow with the wound clinic.
