Private scan

Had a scan today and the woman that scanned me made me feel so rushed :( baby was upside down so couldn’t see much very clearly, I wiggled my hips and baby didn’t move so she said I’ll turn scan photos right way round and that was it!

We did see the baby move but I’ve never seen a baby upside down on any scans I’ve been too… really overthinking but isit normal?

My little one was upside down for the first two scans I had (6+5 and 9 weeks) one was private and one NHS so I don’t think it’s anything to worry too much about. They wriggle around in all different positions 😂

Our little girl was upside at our last scan and we did little shakes side to side to make her move around a little and by the end she moved back to being upside down as she just liked that position very active aswell

My baby girl was upside down for my 20w scan and now I have to go back so they can see all of the heart cos she was being difficult and didn’t want to move 😂

My little one was upside down during our 12 weeks NHS scan, they had me doing all sorts (mainly so they could get the measurements for the health conditions at that gestation) but it did also feel very rushed and a bit like it was my fault that baby wasn’t cooperating. She pressed on so hard and my stomach was so tender for a good 2/3 days afterwards. We also got an upside down picture turned the right way round for us. I was annoyed at the time but i would be especially frustrated if i’d paid money for it tbh xx

My little girl was upside down at the 12 week scan and they just flipped the image for us! They weren’t concerned at all 😊

If you felt rushed I would have asked for another appointment, it’s a very exciting time for you and you shouldn’t feel like that.

Babies being upside down is normal as they have so much room at that time I wouldn’t worry about that at all

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?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
