Hi :)

I have tested positive last week and itā€™s my first time plus I donā€™t have any family in the UK who can give me advice and I canā€™t tell any friends with kids yet. Can someone tell me what happens next? I have checked the NHS website and it says there to contact my GP asap. I did so and they said they wonā€™t see me un...

Thoughts, opinions and comments: MRI I 100% canā€™t afford and they wonā€™t give me my xray results.

Firstly, I do have medical insurance. Secondly, I have a high deductible and right now canā€™t afford any more medical debt as is. ā€”ā€”-I saw a doctor (specialist) recently due to pain in my arm. The pain comes randomly and can stay for 24hr to a whole week (I have had surgery in this area about a 12 years ago by the ...

8 week scan and first midwife appt

Very relieved this morning that little shrimp is doing well. Had 2 previous losses and found this to be a huge relief, although Iā€™m sure the anxiety will come back before my 12 week scan. I thought the dreaded TWW while trying was bad, maybe the wait between scans is even worse šŸ˜‚ Got my first midwife appt onā€¦

12 week gender guess

Iā€™m now 15 weeks but weā€™ve had a few people guess the gender based on nub theory looking at our 12 week scan. My husband is really hoping for a boy but Iā€™m thinking this is a girl!

20 week scan

Did anyone else have to go back for 20 week scan as baby wasnā€™t being cooperative and couldnā€™t see face? Iā€™ve had a letter and itā€™s now titled a ā€œdetailed anatomy scanā€ where it was called ā€œanatomy scanā€ on previous letters. Iā€™m now overthinking lol

4th percentile

Will be going in for an elective c section anyway. My baby is currently measuring on the 4th percentile. I am 35 weeks on Wednesday and have another growth scan this day. If I drop to the 3rd percentile on Wednesday what is the likelihood of them considering dates on when to deliver or is it likely Iā€™ll have to go...

My baby is currently measuring on the 4th percentile. I am 35 weeks on Wednesday and have another growth scan this day.

Big baby

I had a scan on Friday and my baby is estimated to be 7.3 pounds already at 34 weeksā€¦. They have offered me an induction at 39 weeks but I felt like they were advising against a C section at this point. Has anyone else been told they have a big baby and been advised to have induction earlier?
