Early scan showing smaller than I thought

I’m very regular on my periods and can tell you the day I will come on normally.

I had a positive pregnancy test 10DPO and have had positives ever since.

I believe I should be 7 weeks pregnant and went for an early scan today which is showing just under 6 weeks. But it does have a heart beat, it’s in the right place has a yolk and sack.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this and everything turned out ok?

Thank you

UK hospitals

In my hospital it says dad can stay with us 24/7. With me having to have a C section and I have pre-existing back
issues me and my partner have been thinking about him staying with me during the night time to help out? And having him go home during the day while my mum can visit. Anyone done anything similar?

sex after c section?

me and my fiance recently had sex. i was 5 1/2 weeks postpartum. the bleeding had completely stopped. no longer sore or hurting. we were easy. i started bleeding 2 days afterwards. its so heavy im soaking a pad in an hour. i’m not sure if this is normal?? my periods before weren’t like this.

C section at 37+3

Has anyone had a c section around this time? Did baby need any support? I've had quite an up and down pregnancy with my placenta being low the whole time. I've been getting signs that I may be going into labour soon so the decision was made to bring my section forward. Though baby is already small (according to growth scans) which I know can be inaccurate. I already have a 12m old at home.
