Ectopic pregnancy **
I had one in 2020 where I had my left tube removed. Afterwards I’ve had a healthy boy who is now 4! I found out I’m pregnant last night. I called to book with a midwife and I mentioned my history but they told me they don’t think they do early scans it’s just about being aware? I’m just curious, do we just sit and twiddle our thumbs hoping it’s in the right place then? I don’t have an appointment until 10 weeks.. I would’ve thought they’d be more cautious than that?

I would have thought they did? Can you get a private one to put your mind at ease
Can you afford to pay for a private scan? I would tbh just to make sure, I went for a private scan at 7 weeks just bc i wanted to make sure everything was okay and 12 weeks was too long to wait
That's right sadly, they won't offer you any kind of extra guidance or scans, you'll have to wait until 12 weeks for your first ultrasound

Hospital stay
First time mum here and I just want to know, how many days on average do you stay in the hospital for after birth? For both vaginal and c-section

Distract me/keep me company through contractions
I am having a rough night. Been contracting on and off for 2 hours. Just started timing them and having some water before I bug my midwife. I'm only 30 weeks and panicking a little. So what's everyone up to tonight? I'm watching early Grey's Anatomy -- love me some Jeffrey Dean Morgan!

BV?
I had bacterial vaginosis early in my pregnancy and had antibiotics to get rid of it. I’ve now had so so much white discharge that has a little bit of a stronger smell than usual, a little metallic if anything. From the smell alone I thought I was bleeding a little bit but it’s perfectly white no pink. I do have placenta previa and wondering what this is. Should I ring the doctor to get swabbed for BV again?

Currently 40+3 days pregnant FTM have no idea what to do that could possibly help me go into spontaneous labour before my induction which is within 4 days.
Give me all the advice you possibly can please 😭 I really want to go into labour and I have had no membrane sweeps so far. I don’t know what to do and I don’t know weather I should try a membrane sweep before an induction. I’d also like to know anyone’s experience who has been induced for the first time and weather their labour went according to their birth plan.

40+ 5, advice needed
So this is my second baby, first time round I had a c section, the section itself went fine but the recovery was bad (I opened back up and developed a pretty nasty infection). I’ve been so undecided on what to do this time weather to have a vbac or another c section but I was always leaning towards vbac. They want to book my induction date in now and I sort of panicked and told them I’d rather a c section because it’s what I know. I’ve heard induction can take days and I don’t wanna be away from my little boy too long, and that they may end in c section anyway. So I thought might as well skip to the c section now, I have a clinic appointment today at 10:30 to book it in I think but they might try persuade me more induction my midwife said. Am I making a silly decision with c section, should I get the induction instead? Any advice would be great sorry for rambling x
