Midwife appointment

Hi mamas. I’m pregnant with my second child now. I just want to be sure it’s not in my head please and it’s same for others. My appointments this time seems to be less. I had one maybe around 10 weeks then the next one was for 16 weeks. I have now been scheduled for another appointment In May which is two months ...

14 week scan

How accurate are 14 week scans I’ve got one boy and apparently my next is a boy. But my gut is screaming something else. I like a little boy but it’s hard adjusting when your body is screaming something else The potty shots also look different in comparison. I’m wondering if there’s a possibility of it being wron...

Pregnant on the copper coil?

Has this happened to anyone? I had a little bleeding then it stopped and I started having really bad stomach cramping like I had in the very beginning of my first pregnancy. I was going to buy a test just to be safe but my period properly came the next week so I left it thinking it was fine. I’ve still had the stoma...

Can we postpone / refuse induction

Hi, I am 31+2 weeks pregnant and at 28+5 , they did a scan and found out baby is less than 1 percentile so they planned to do scan after every 2 weeks. I had another scan at 31+0 and they said EFW is at 4th percentile but other than that HC is 7th now. And mentioned that aim is to complete 37 weeks. Tbh , I just fe...

Nausea

Hi everyone! I’m 8 weeks tomorrow and the nausea is horrible! It’s stopping me from doing my usual activities. Any suggestions or tips on how I can get through my days without feeling slumped. I have been eating ginger biscuits, mints and drinking sugary drinks but nothing is working!

Elective c section

Do you wait on a bed or on a lobby area? Just wondering because they will tell you to get there by 8 am if AM but there is no guarantee of the order you will be seen

Growing up!

This is a change I was not prepared for! My little girl was a month on Wednesday and I’ve just switched to the large bottles as the small ones were so full. Also size 2 nappies for the last 2 weeks and growing out of her 0-1 clothes! Anyone else just doesn’t want their baby to grow up? 😂

5mg Folic acid

I was prescribed 5mg of folic acid due to having a higher BMI. I forgot to ask at my scan on Thursday if I need to stop taking it at 12 weeks. I’m 12 weeks today. I text my midwife yesterday but she hadn’t got back to me yet. Will it hurt if I carry on until she gets back to me as I am only 12 weeks today ?!

Waking up for a wee constantly

Hi! I’m only like 8/9 weeks pregnant and I always used to wake up for a wee once a night but now it’s 3 times minimum and to the point my uterus hurts in the night until I go? Is that normal? Swear this is meant to be later on ahaha

Our baby will not roll!

She’s six and half months, will sit up unaided, rocks about in happy baby position, feet in mouth, she likes standing up with us holding her up. But will not commit to a full roll haha 😂. I know they all do things a different times but she just gets super angry and I know she can do but just won’t. Anyway else?

Viability scan

Had an early scan today. I thought I’d measure 6+6/7 weeks because I tracked ovulation and BBT so know exactly when I ovulated but I measured 6+3. Has anyone else had this? Baby had a lovely strong heart beat 🫶🏼
