Anomaly scan pain!

I had my anomaly scan today and baby was snug lying on their belly so the sonographer basically had to push down hard and jiggle my stomach a lot. Baby eventually turned and he managed to do everything he needed to check but now my stomach feels sore like someone has punched me! Worried now hope baby is fine in there🥹

My husband said I was literally hurting his hand as I was squeezing it that hard while he was scanning 😩

My 12 week scan was similar and baby was fine, it’s well protected in there, but I did feel the same, like someone had pounded my stomach!

After a day or so I was fine, but I almost cried in my scan because the pressure was so horrible!

im so sorry you felt like this and likewise I was on the brink of tears. It was honestly so painful. I'm lying down now from the soreness!

I had this with my private scan i was in sooo much pain after was unreal@

Had the same experience with my 12 week scan, it was a male sonographer so think he was just a bit heavy handed but it did scare me as i had a previous loss last year and had stomach bruising which i believe was caused by a scan so it terrifies me
I do always ask them to scan as lightly as they can now before they start the scan

Naaaaah guys the worst one is having a full bladder for your 12 week scan, I was CRYING!!!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Braxton hicks

I’m currently 34 weeks and have been experiencing braxton hicks for the past few weeks however have been having cramps almost like very strong period cramps In my lower stomach. I’ve mentioned this to my midwife and she only really asked if I’d been keeping hydrated and taking my vitamins which I am but didn’t really proceed to tell me if this was normal or related to braxton hicks also, has anyone else experienced this?

Eid celebrations?

Is it normal to celebrate Eid by drinking alcohol and partying non stop … doesn’t that just go against the whole month of Ramadan im so confused

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Pregnancy nose 😭🤣

I thought it was a myth but when I look back at pictures of me pregnant with my first child, my nose literally swelled up so big it was ridiculous 🤣

Please tell me other people have had pregnancy nose or at least heard of it hahahah dreading it this time around

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?
