2nd Scan query

Hey girlies! I've just recently had my second scan (was supposed to be my first as it was a private one, but we had a scare at 6w and had an early NHS scan) At my last scan I was measuring 6w6d, which meant that yesterday I should have been exactly 10 weeks. I was measuring 4 days ahead 🥹 My sonographer said baby's heartbeat was nice and strong and had a good rhythm, but baby wasn't moving. I went into the scan expecting baby to be moving or wiggling around. I know this sounds silly but I am a very anxious first time mumma, with 2 previous losses. Id really appreciate if some of you lovely lot could offer some advice or experiences 🫶✨🩷🩵🌈

Scrubs fitting larger Dad

Hi all; I’m due to have a C section at RUH Bath in 2 weeks and my husband is very worried about scrubs fitting - he is approx 4XL. Any tips especially from RUh but other hospitals helpful, thanks.

Rolling

My son is nearly 5 months old and he’s not showing any signs of even the slightest bit of being interested in rolling over. I practice with him all the time. I’m an anxious mum and I just worry he’s behind on his milestones😩

Spicy time?? 👀

Obviously I know it’s whenever I feel ready but I had an episiotomy and a 3rd degree tear so when am I okay to even try anything, not even the full thing?

How to round out B belly ?

Has anybody actually found anything that helps to make a B belly baby bump look rounder? I hate that I just looked fat all the way through my first pregnancy ( for reference I'm size 16-18) and want to find something that will smooth out the center line ready for maternity photos this time round? Any advice please?

VBAC

My first pregnancy went fine no complications was having extra scans due to low lying placenta. At 32+4 I had a bleed so went to PAU and was told id be kept in and monitored for 24 hours but whilst in there had another bleed so the decision was made to have an emergency c section. I was told after it was a placenta abruption but they couldn’t confirm the cause baby was in NICU for 4-5 weeks. Im now 23+6 with my second pregnancy and have felt fine throughout, classed as high risk for pre term so under a consultant. I was considering natural delivery but recently have started to get the horrors reading up about VBAC. Would anyone like to share their experience?
