Hey girls! I am roughly 6 weeks pregnant and found out because I was having very bad cramps. I had a scan last week which showed gestational sac and this week a yolk sac inside but still no heartbeat. I have been discharged from epu until routine 12 week scan. I have a previous diagnosis of endometriosis so the cramps could be caused by this but am I right in saying with the cramping and pain I should be seen once more to confirm a heartbeat?

I donāt know where youāre based but defo if you are having cramps you can usually demand a scan and say youāre not satisfied/ becoming more worried.
Otherwise I had a private scan due to bleeding in the earlier days and at just under 7 weeks, the heart beat was there! x

No, unfortunately theyāve done the right thing, they would of ruled out a ectopic pregnancy and you have no bleeding, so 12 week scan is the next step unless you want to book yourself for a private scan⦠itās rubbish waiting but there is nothing to suggest anything is wrong, pain and cramping is normal and as youāve got endo could make it worse x

It can be normal for cramping, i had this aswell and sometimes still do. However my midwife told me that if iām worried not to be afraid to call again as thatās what they are there for at the end of the day. For those early worries so if you are really anxious and feel itās the way forward iād say thereās no harm in ringing back up again xx

In my experience, if you are six weeks and no heartbeat, they will rebook you sooner for a viability scan. Request this

I was about 5 weeks and had the same, couldnāt see heartbeat etc but I too was discharged and no scan until 12 weeks. Everything ended up fine but I know how worrying it is. But I had awful period like cramps and also spotting, I have an endometrial cyst so yes definitely could be that for you too

They donāt really likely seeing you before 8 weeks, if youāre still having immense cramps then yes itās a reason to contact your GP / EPU, though without bleeding itās unlikely EPU will see you again until after 8 weeks.
I say this as a Mumma whoās 14 ish weeks pregnant, has a 2 year old and had 7 miscarriages so been in and out of EPU a lot. Chances are theyāll suggest you get a private scan xx
Does anybody have experience of a c-section under general anaesthetic? I have been told I can not have an epidural due to some health problems and have been given the option of being put to sleep, I unsure of my other options than this or birth with gas and air until I see the anaesthetists š„²

Hi all,
Iām currently 16 weeks with my fourth pregnancy. I am getting a really unsettling feeling about this pregnancy. I cant shake this feeling like there is something wrong. Like Iām going to go to my scan in 4 weeks and they will tell me there is no heart beat. I guess itās not helping that I canāt feel baby kick not even flutters. I definitely did at this stage in my last pregnancy.

Hiya ladies Iām currently 39 weeks and 4 days I have opted for a VBAC I had my first child last year in April
I was hopeful for a VBAC at the beginning of this second pregnancy as baby is not breech this time round however as Iām getting close to my due date as well as being in the early labour phase for the last 2 weeks and still stuck at 2cm Iām becoming worried as Iāve been told if I go to 41 weeks they may have to induce me but there are risks of scar rupture leading to an emergency c section anyway.
Today itās really been sitting on my mind as Iāve been in and out of hospital recently with pains but no progress in dilation so itās really making me out way my options for a VBAC, hence was wondering if anyone has any positive induction stories after having a c section xz

Hey so did anyone else have really heavy periods when they came back? I'm on what I believe to be my second period (7 months post partum) and its like the great flood or something its crazy.

Iām 11 weeks pregnant and have known since before conception I wanted a c-section. I have only known friends who had traumatic natural births and do not want to risk the āworst of both worldsā with a traumatic natural birth and THEN emergency c-section anyway.
Has anyone else here done this, if so how did you go about telling your midwife, and friends?! I feel thereās so much judgement even though it is supposedly MY choice.
