Updates?!
Any updates on how it went for you all? I had a healthy boy, born on 4th Sept in the end. Weighing 6lb 6oz. Went through 60 hours of labour then an emergency cesarean as he decided to turn his head at the last minute!

UK Mums - Parent Class question...
Hi ladies 👋🏽I am booked in to go to a 2 hour parenting class tomorrow night and wondered if anyone has attended these and if they were useful? I am pretty clued up on babies and how to raise one but my midwife asks at every appointment to book it so I felt the pressure and did.Is it covering the very basic stuff like ‘Make sure you support baby’s neck’ and ‘burp after feeds’ etc .. ? Did anyone find it really useful or a waste of time as you knew it anyway? TIA x

21 weeks and operated on!
I'm 21 weeks pregnant today and I've had a roller-coaster week. On Tuesday afternoon I was hospitalised with terrible abdominal pain in my right hand groin/side (a bit like period pain at the start but within two hours I was doubled up at work with an ambulance en route). First thoughts from the NHS and me were labour but thankfully, it wasn't. Next up, investigating what it was, this took forever and we only found out yesterday afternoon that the reason for the pain was a twisted ovary brought on by the growth of the uterus (no cyst present). I've been operated on today and they had to remove the ovary because it had twisted round itself five times...! Fair to say I've experienced the worst pain I've ever had but thankful to say that the baby's heartbeat is strong and there were no complications. So, here I lay in hospital, recovering and if nothing goes wrong I should be home tomorrow. Super scary but I'm on cloud 9 that everything is okay. I wanted to share this so you can see there can be positive outcomes following intense surgery when pregnant and that pregancy can cause a twisted ovary (much to some of the doctors surprise may I add!). Massive thanks to the NHS for being so kind, supportive and amazing 🙏🏼

Finding out sex at 20 weeks scan?
Last reply Apr 3, 2019
20 week scan on 2 days....
Morning all! Got our 20 week scan on Friday. I'm so frightened wee bub isn't developing properly, even though I've heard the heartbeat. We're going to find out the sex and I'm excited for that and just to see the little love but after hearing about my best friends sister who had something awful happen at this stage recently, I just can't get it out of my head!How're you all feeling? I'm 19+5 and physically, I'm feeling good. Started pregnancy yoga this week and apart from the odd ligament pain and nearly constant heartburn things aren't too bad. I hope spring is cheering you all up after a grim winter and you're all feeling good. Happy Wednesday✌🏼

How're you all getting on?!
16+3 today with first baby. Lucky enough to be on holiday so I'm parading what's there of my bump and its nice to 'let it all out'! It's definitely helped being away from work but I'm dreading going back. Just glad there is only 4 more months of work before ML. Symptoms have mostly gone since coming on holiday apart from the standard heartburn, constipation and 'I need to eat when I'm hungry or I turn in to a monster' thing. I have eaten too much fish (according to guidelines) so freaking out a little... I have my 2nd midwife Appt. when I get home, then my 1st Obstetrician Appt. (got hypothyroidism and B- blood) and then our 2nd scan, all within two weeks of each other. Very nervous/excited for the scan (we are going to find out gender - are you?). How're you all doing? xx

Hi everyone so I am 15 weeks pregnant and have already received my 20 week scan date in the post one week ago but still nothing regarding my 16 week appointment? Is this normal?

First look on love day 😍
So we had our first scan today, although s**ting myself I am so relieved because thankfully everything is fine. Baby was naughty so we were able to watch them dance about for ages - feel very lucky for that as it was such a cool/surreal/amazing thing to see. We were bang on with due date calculations so no change there - 13 weeks tomorrow. I also found out my blood type, B Neg. Means I have to have anti-D injections at 28/34 weeks then another if baby has a positive blood type. We're off out to celebrate tonight (even if I am shattered and even though I've had a nap today and could go for another!). I definitely feel different and more relaxed already... Phew!! Happy Love Day everyone ✌🏻💕

12 weeks today! How're you all doing?
The bloat seems to have gone and I'm left with this little bump ☺️ still have a week to wait for the scan. I'm still getting nausea but only when I'm hungry. I get breathless quite a bit now but I'm definitely feeling a bit better. How are you all doing? xx

Winter 🤧
Is anyone else struggling with colds? Got my second in one month. On top of the symptoms I'm finding it all a bit much! Time off work, barely being out of pj's, not seeing friends or family... I feel like a really boring, moody, ill potato 🙄

Slacking at work 😣
I'm finding it hard to get in to work or at least focus when I'm there now that my nausea has become more persistent. How are you lot getting on? I feel really guilty but it's just how it is I guess...

Feel stupid 😂😂
OK so for some unknown reason I've been questing when do you have your bloods done. I've opted into have all bloods done. Am I right they are done after your 12 week scan?
