When am I due?

FTM here with completely unexpected pregnancy whilst taking contraception. My periods were really irregular then settled then obviously stopped. I did a clearblue digital that said 2-3 weeks which is apparently 4-5 weeks according to NHS but start of last period would apparently date me at 7 weeks! I have midwife phone call and then bloods next week already booked but I was wondering if anyone else had this? One very terrified FTM.

Hey, I had a little girl in April! They will go off the first day of your last period, until your 12 week dating scan x

A lot of people with irregular periods do work out their date using clear blue tests. You are most likely going to be 4-5 weeks along so due end of June.
The NHS base it on your last period when you have a scan so your due date maybe change and it's nothing to be concerned about.
This scan can happen anywhere between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy, if they scan you and your earlier they will ask you to come back for a rescan as they can only carry out the screening tests in this timeframe.

Going by my LMP I’d be 11+2 today🫠 After a private scan I’m 8+2 (which I knew anyway because I tracked ovulation). So the Clearblue test will likely be more accurate xx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w
