Hey 🥰 I’ll be 7 weeks Wednesday and I’ve booked an early scan for Friday 🤞🙏💕

It all depends on you! You don’t have to but it’s there for you if you wanted to! X

We had an early scan at 6 weeks to check pregnancy was viable x

We waited until our 12 week and it was magical to see our baby looking like a formed baby 👶🏻 💕 do whats right for you. X

i’m 8 weeks today and i’m getting a early scan, it really depends on what you want to do x

I went for one yesterday I thought I was 7-8 weeks but had to have internal scan as I was only 5 weeks.. couldn’t see anything but an empty sack… it’s worried me soo much back in 2 weeks and I’m hoping to see a yolk an heart beat 🥲🥲

I didn't get an early scan with my first, there's no real need to but I did this time as I just went away for a few days and had a long drive, I wanted to be sure they looked okay before I drove for so long.
I'd say if you aren't super anxious for it then save the £’s; babies need so much and the scans aren't cheap ☺️

i’m in the exact same boat. 8 weeks tomorrow, but as it’s my first, and i found out exactly at 4 weeks, it seems like forever and crazy to me that after a positive pregnancy test a month ago i don’t see or speak to a professional or have any bloods and / or ultrasounds for another month 🫠?! having friends from different countries they all find it kind of crazy how here over the first trimester youre just waiting and hoping on your own (unless something out of the ordinary happens) without anything to go on 🥹 i’m really considering a scan just for my own peace of mind. good to see positive experiences from others who did the same 💕
Hi everyone. My daughter is 13 months old and I have her via c section last August due to failure to progress. Everything else was fine apart from that. My son is 10 and I had a c section with him too. I want to start trying for another baby next year and would really love to hear if anyone had any positive stories about a vbac after 2 c sections x

Feeling very guilty that I didn’t realise sooner!
That my munchkin cup was mouldy😭
I wash with warm soapy water etc but it has gone awful!!!
Reminder to everyone to check with cups with seals like this🥴

I’ve just had a growth scan at 36+3 and baby is currently weighing 8lbs 1oz.
I have a consultation appointment tomorrow to discuss further. My first was born at 39+3 and weighed 8lbs 3oz (I was induced) so I’m quite shocked at nearly 3 and a half weeks to go he’s so big. Did anyone else have something similar to this and how did it work out?

Hey all. So many people have told me that I should definitely pack lip balm in my hospital bag because of the warmth and getting dehydrated.
But I've also read that you can't use most lip balms with gas and air because of the ingredients (usually petroleum jelly etc).
So does anybody have recommendations for safe lip balms to use, or is it a total no go?

Last time I was an afternoon elective C-S, went in for 2pm and baby born at 5pm. This time I have to be there for 7 30 am
What time did your c-s end up happening if you had a morning elective? I know it can vary but still curious if there's an average 🤔
