Falling asleep all over the place

Randomly throughout the day. Or having a nap an hour or two after waking up. Anyone else?

12 week scan

Got my 12 week dating scan booked and I’m honestly feeling so upset and lost about what to do 😔❤️

We literally have no one around us who can have our 17-month-old while we go. He doesn’t go to nursery as I’m a SAHM, and unfortunately children aren’t allowed in the scan room.

It feels like our only option is for my partner and our little boy to wait in the waiting room while I have the scan alone. But that means my partner misses out on seeing our baby for the first time, and equally, I really don’t want to be on my own if there were to be any bad news. I just feel like I need him there with me, whatever the outcome. 😢

I know lots of people probably have to deal with this kind of situation, but I genuinely don’t know what the answer is. We don’t have family nearby that we can ask, and I’m really struggling with the thought of having to choose between my partner being there for me and him getting to see baby.

Has anyone else been in this situation? What did you do? ❤️

Gen Z moms, what did you name your baby/ babies?

I’m curious about what other moms gen z are naming their babies, I named my baby boy Finnley Stone (first and middle). 🩵🩵

C section

I have a c section booked for the 19th of December but due to allergies and other complications I have to have it done under general anesthetic. Has anyone else had this? Anxiety is starting to build and was wondering if people could share thier stories so I knkw what to expect. This is my second baby but first section.

Bleeding 😢

Just gone go the toilet and I’m bleeding bright red blood & it’s there every time I wipe
Looks like the first day of my period.
I’m nearly 8 weeks pregnant
I’m so scared.
Just called 111 and waiting for a call back from my doctors.
I don’t have any cramping but just feeling so down now 😢

Pessary induction

I’m currently getting induced. I’ve been in hospital since Thursday. I had a pessary put in as soon as I arrived and had it in for 24 hours. I had period like cramps after having it but nothing else happened. Yesterday I was told I wouldn’t need another one and instead my waters would be broken today. Just been told by my midwife that I’m having another pessary today (I haven’t had my cervix checked since I arrived in hospital at 6:30am Thursday) Did anyone else have a second pessary and did it do anything?? Feel like I wasted a whole day yesterday doing nothing when I could’ve had the pessary in and out by now. Just so frustrated

Advice needed

My baby is nearly 6 months, he has always hated tummy
Time but is getting stronger, he can roll one way, and can physically roll the other way but won’t unless we encourage him, he also predominantly uses one hand and kicks one leg although he can do it with both, should I be concerned? He has his 6 month review at the end of the month but my head is spiralling
