Same here, was so nervous! Had it last Friday, everything was good and they put me back from 11+2 to 11 weeks exactly. Turns out that's too early for nuchal measurements so I'm going back for another scan on the 27th which I'm now looking forward to! Best of luck to you for weds!

Mine is on Thursday! Feeling the exact same as you I think it’s normal to feel anxious before the scan but it will be the best feeling when we see our little babies heart beats xx

Exciting! My 12 week scan is also Wednesday & the first day of my last period was 23rd October. I had a private early scan which put me at the same date as I thought, I should be 12weeks 5 days on Wednesday if that helps ☺️☺️

Totally normal to feel nervous. I felt exactly the same at my 12 week and 20 week scan. If I am honest I didn’t totally relax until after my 20 week scan. It is an exciting time but also a worrying one too!

Its the most nerve racking 12 weeks ever!!! But then the most amazing feeling once you have the scan! I think everyone feels the same xxx

Awe 🙏 🥰

Any guesses?

I just had my 12 week scan today! Any fun guesses on the gender using the nub theory? 🥰

Emergency scan

Hi! I went to triage on Saturday night for reduced movement as I hadn’t felt baby all day. I was checked over with Doppler etc and sent on my way - midwife said everything was great.

I’ve just been called by the hospital that I’m booked in for an emergency scan and it’s just taken me by surprise. Has anyone else experienced this?

C section with a 2 Yr old

Please be honest how much of a struggle is this? I am worried, I'm currently 34 weeks but struggling to walk bc of my pelvis, it's already difficult having to run after her and with the tantrums etc
Any tips ??

How does everyone do it

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have a 3 year old and I can’t even get out of bed without being sick, can’t even stand for longer than 2 minutes, my toddler is basically living on snacks as I can’t get out of bed to cook, I can’t even take him to nursery I feel terrible, I’m only 8 weeks and have so much longer to go 😭

Birth plan

Debating between natural birth vs C section.
Labour lengths, recovery times afterwards, control involved in a c section, pregnancy again after c sections.. give me your experiences/opinions. 😊
(Also, if the hospital was 1.5 hours away would that affect your decision)

Early labour?

Im really unsure if what I’m having is the start of labour or just digestive pains? I’ve been getting sharp/crampy pains across my abdomen and back which come and go every 10/15 mins, not really typical period like pains yet but they are very noticeable. I feel like it’s been getting more painful since this morning, but at the same time I’m having diarrhoea and nausea. The only difference I’ve noticed is the pain is not going away after going to the toilet or position changes. I’m going to call triage but I thought to wait and see a few more hours. BTW I’m 37 weeks
