Lines not progressing

My hcg strips are staying a similar colour and I did a clear blue weeks test which says 1-2 weeks but apparently it should be further along than that based on my ovulation, sex, cycle etc.

Anyone's else had this and all is ok?
I've asked my GP for a HCG blood test but not sure if they will. I don't have a midwife appt until early dec and scan is booked for a couple days before Xmas.

I've got no pain or bleeding so I'm hugely panicking now.

I can't talk to my partner as he keeps saying I'm worrying due to my miscarriage in August so I've come to you guys.

My son refused to wait for his November due date lol. Literally pushed him out only 7cm dilated this morning 😅

Pregnancy after c section

I can’t wait to get pregnant again, but has anyone gotten pregnant shortly after having a c section? The midwife told me to wait 2 years before I get pregnant again, however, that means I’d be 44 and I’m worried it might be a risky pregnancy.

Elective C-Section

I know emergency C-sections are quite common, but has anyone here chosen to have an elective, planned C-section? What was your experience? No judgements and rude comments please. This is a sensitive subject. I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I’m considering having a planned C-section. Because I’m 41 and suffer from anxiety, I’m worried about the unpredictability of trying to give birth naturally at my age with the possibility of needing an emergency C-section in the end. I know it’s a major surgery that comes with a lot of risks, but it seems so much more controlled when planned in advance, which I find comforting.

My son loves her so much. She just like Mrs. Rachel but she African American! He shows the same interest as he does Mrs. Mrs . Rachel

Movements & Kicks! 🩵

Hey ladies! I’m currently 18 weeks (19 tomorrow) and I’ve been feeling baby boy tickling me for the last couple of weeks. I now think I am feeling him kicking me. I am just guessing that is what’s happening but I can’t even seem to catch him doing it! Anyone had this previously and has some advice with seeing baby kick? My Fiancé is desperate to see it and feel it but I have told him to be patient lol

Pain in lower abdomen

Is anyone experiencing similar… I’m getting a dull constant ache in my lower stomach, under my bump/in a similar position to where my c section scar is (although I don’t think it had anything to do with that)

It comes on when I stand up or walk around. I thought it could be round ligament paint however I’m pretty sure that’s more shooting and stabbing pains where this is a dull ache. I didn’t have this with my first pregnancy so it’s left me abit confused.

I have a midwife appt tomorrow so I’ll mention it then but wondered if anyone else has the same?!

(I also have a 14 month and wondered if it could be to do with picking her up etc)
