Early scan

Hi girls went for early scan today thinking I was 7 weeks but measuring 6+1 has anyone’s ever changed later on to what they thought they was? Abit confused as av had bad morning sickness for a week which means it would have started at 5 weeks

I think it’s very normal to have morning sickness that early! I had morning sickness (well all day sickness) since before 5 weeks! For some it just happens earlier rubbish as it is!

It might change by the time you have your next scan. It's dependent on baby's growth. I thought I was 8 weeks when i went for an early scan and was more like 9. Didnt make sense to me as I knew timings too due to my partner being away.

So from last period my due date was 8th May 2027.

Early reassurance scan said my due date was 15th May 2027.

My NHS dating scan says my due date is 5th May 2027.

Completely normal, sometimes your progress will estimate lower than you thought or higher, I've had my due date changed three times from the 21st of march, to 20th, now the 19th

Recovery

I’m due for my elective section in a weeks time at 40+3.

This is my first baby and after dreaming of a unmedicated vaginal birth, an induction is needed due to low Papp-a and this week i’ve finally chosen an elective section over induction for a few reasons (mostly mental and to have a good experience).

Firstly, what would you recommend? I completely understand healing/recovery is so much harder with a section but I think I’m willing to risk the physical impact than the mental impact of emergency/induction.

Secondly, recovery tips please! I have an extremely supportive partner who will make sure I do everything by the book to recover✨

The waaaaaaait 🫠

How are you ladies surviving between scans? I’ve had a few private ones but a few days after having one I’m again going crazy in my head wondering if everything is ok and how am I not supposed to know for another ‘x’ amount of weeks!! Had a scan last Thursday and everything was perfect and we were told we are having a baby girl.. but I just wish there was a way to check in with them every day 😅 especially since I’m not feeling anything yet..

Any thoughts welcome from first timers or those that have managed this crazy phase before 🫶🏼

Hip pain when sleeping

I have been sleeping on my sides as per recommendations but every night throughout the night I wake up multiple times because my hips feel like they’re bruised from laying on them. I have a pregnancy pillow and whilst it is comfortable I feel like it’s doing nothing?! Any recs would be great please

1st Birthday Party?!

For anyone that has a little one with a birthday between Christmas and New Year, are you having a birthday party? Or are you doing something different to celebrate?
I’m really struggling with whether we should do a party for our little one and whether anyone would be able to come, his birthday is on 28/12, so would be looking at either the day before or the weekends either side of Christmas. I’m so torn 😩
