First private scan!

Hey, I’m going to be 8weeks and 5 days when I go for my private scan - will they do an abdominal or vaginal scan at that point? Also any experiences with Little Start 4D for scans?

I had a really clear abdominal at 8+1 🙂 I think they try that first and then do internal if needed

Some scan centres say internal until 10 weeks however in my experience they get you in with a full bladder and see how clear the picture is. They are usually cheaper here if they don’t need to do internal.

My last scan is emptied my bladder so I paid more for an internal. Xx

I’ve had abdominal scans in both pregnancies at 8w5d :)

Almost time?

So at this point I don’t even know whats going on 🤣I am 39+3 weeks and had so many episodes of cramping/pains where I have thought this is it but clearly its been Braxton hicks as still no baby!
Yesterday I had bad cramping and pains for 9 hours from 3pm onwards, had urge to poop and lost thick discharge, and the pains did feel like they were getting worse and at one point it was too uncomfortable to even walk.. to the point I had everything ready to go and then everything just stopped again LOL.
Its my 2nd birth but tbh forgot what it felt like last time as I was induced and the whole thing was a blur as it was four years ago!

Anyone else been experiencing this?

Morning sickness

Hi! I’m 12 weeks 3 days and still dealing with morning sickness. I’ve tried actually everything and nothing works. Is anyone else in the same situation? 😭 Would love to connect with other people going through it or just someone with a similar due date (April 21st)

Diagnosed with gestational diabetes! Still trying to process the news

I thought I was healthy…normal BMI, walk loads, move all the time (I have a toddler 😂) and even cut out all sugar a month ago to be even healthier and still this came for me! I passed the fasting test but was one point over on the 2 hour past glucose drink. Apparently just one point over and they still take it super seriously. I haaaaaate needles and am really struggling with the whole pricking my finger 4x per day and all the worrying medical info they have given me…anyone else?

Spotting

Hello all! I’m around 9 weeks pregnant.

We recently had some brown discharge about 2 weeks ago. All cleared up and was fine. However now we are having light pink spotting. No pain, a little cramping like a period is wanting to come. I don’t have my first scan till 29th October so I’m a little in the unknown! My midwife said that there’s nothing they can do about it 🤷‍♀️

Has anyone experienced the same? Or in a previous pregnancy and all was fine?
