I’m getting one tomorrow 😔 taking the pill scheduled at 9am

Depends on how many weeks. If it is a procedure where you are sleeping, you don't feel much.
If you are having a dnc while awake you need to bring some type of music to drowned out the sounds
If it is a pill, you'll need to take some time off to be home a bleed through the experience.

After 16 weeks it is a 2 part procedure because little bones will have formed and it is a longer process.

Wishing you well 💜

I also agree it depends on how far you’re , mine was really painful but only in the moment I usually have a high tolerance for pain but I kinda screamed and cried idk if that was because of the emotional part of it adding to it but I remember it hurting really bad

My procedure was very simple. Sat in a waiting room, got called back, they did an ultrasound (I didn’t look) and then I waited for the doctor and nurse to come in. They talked with me the whole time, gave me some medicine that made me feel very relaxed and it was done in a matter of minutes. Afterwards I sat in a room and they gave me snacks until my medication wore off and the person picking me up was there. Sending lots of love and hugs your way.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?

20week scan!!

i had my 20week scan yesterday, everything looked okay on baby and we found out the gender!! it’s a girl 🩷🩷. but they said that my placenta is too close to my pelvis and they need to do extra scans to check on it? has anyone else been told this?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
