Dating Scan at 8 weeks?!

Hi! So, due to complications, I am having a dating scan at 8 weeks pregnant.
Does anyone know if I will still have my 12 week scan? Has anyone else had a dating scan so early?
TIA! ❤

Looking for new friends

Hey mamas! I’m a mom starting fresh, and I’m looking for a mom bestie to share this journey with. My friends mostly have older kids, so I’m hoping to connect with someone in a similar stage.

I work a lot, but I love music, spending time outdoors, and just enjoying life’s little adventures. I’d love to meet a mom who’s down to chat, swap stories, maybe do a playdate, coffee, or stroller walk, and just build a real friendship. 💖

If you’re looking for a supportive, fun, and real mom friend, let’s connect! Bonus points if you’re up for music, fresh air, or just laughing over the chaos of motherhood..

I need new friends!

Good vibes only! ✨ Looking for mummy friends who are all about uplifting each other. No drama, no gossip—just a trustworthy friendship where we can be ourselves and help each other out. Life is busy enough; let’s make friendship the easy part🧸🎀

For those that are paying attention to what’s going on in the US and the state of the WORLD…(Not enough people are)—How are you all coping?

How are you managing a full time job that is funding genocides—-Seeing our rights being slowly taken away. They already came for our reproductive rights. They’re trying to disenfranchise millions of female voters by passing the Save Act. Mainstream media and social media censoring. Mass civilian surveillance. Poisoned water, food. A health care system that puts a band aid on illness to keep the business going—and coming back home to your kids and pretending like anything about this shit is normal. Oh and our world leaders run the largest human trafficking ring. AND the US is trying to cover it up and refuses to hold anyone accountable. And these are the people in charge. Such commendable beings. I’m pretty anxious. So besides self care. How are you coping? Maybe you can comment on what you do for self care.

Coping with sleep deprivation

How is everyone coping with lack of sleep? I feel like such a hermit but the lack of sleep is really getting to me. I go out for a long walk everyday with my daughter, but I can’t muster anything else. The lack of socialising is starting to get to me but my social battery is so low that the thought of going out and chatting with others just feels too much. Anyone else feel this way?! X

Contraceptive

Hi looking for advice on what people think is the best form of contraception

I had the pill which I fell pregnant on, the injection which I bled non stop on, the coil which I thought was good until it came out on its own.

I know I don’t want anymore children my little boy is definitely enough.

Also has anyone’s partner had the snip seeking advice on this too as I’ve asked my partner to do it, he didn’t seem very keen😂

I am totally sympathetic to mom isolation and having no friends but do you ever get overloaded when a mom you just met trauma dumps on you and is all doom and gloom?

I met a mom and had known her for 20 minutes and I knew her entire life and story history and all her trauma and everything that’s making her upset in life. I was just like 🫠👀
