How do you wait for appointments?!

So I found out I’m pregnant on Saturday!! My first appointment is in December but my first scan isn’t until January! How do you cope with waiting that long to see your baby and making sure everything is okay?!

As others have said, go with a private early scan, some places are pretty accessible in terms of pricing.

I’m surprised you have heard already about your first appointment!that’s great!
I’ve registered my pregnancy 3 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything yet 😩 I’m so stressed out, I called today and was told I just have to wait until they get to it and it could be another 2 weeks so basically I won’t even have my first appointment until I’m 9 or 10 weeks 😢

I registered for my booking appointment referral but didn’t hear anything back. Luckily I logged into the mft portal and there it was. 3rd December so I’ll be 9 weeks by that point. I can only imagine how much longer it’ll be for the scan 🥲. I’m impatient as it is

Baby pushing against tummy

Hi everyone. I’m a first time mama expecting my rainbow baby girl on Christmas Day. I’m currently 33.5 weeks.

The last four or five days I’ve found my tummy feels really uncomfortable and not like it did previously. It feels like baby is pushing or leaning back against the front of my tummy all of the time, so one side feels really full and distended. She’s kicking and moving fine, but I don’t know whether this is just a result of her getting bigger and so feels new, or something else?

Period after c section

When did you get your period after your c section?
After my first i got it exactly on my daughter's first birthday, i was breastfeeding.
This time around i had an emergency c section at 30+5, im exclusively pumping, not sure if it was a period but i had period like bleeding for 4 days at 8 weeks. The spotting 2 weeks after and now im 12 weeks pp and spotting again, is it my cycle coming back or should i get checked?
(I'm cycle day 23 today counting from the first period )

Pain here at top of bump / ribs (35w, 3d)

Has anyone else experienced pain in this area when sitting and laying on your side.

Feels like a sharp stabbing / pulling and gets worse the longer you’re in that position.

Baby is head down

Thanks! 🙏🏼
