Cheekysausage it won’t let me tag you but that scan photo is lovely 💕

Re birth plans I will be requesting an elective section. I’m not sure how this will go down as it’s my first and I don’t have a medical reason but I know I’m entitled to request it so hopefully it works out okay. I’m going to mention it at my booking in appointment on Weds.

Thanks @KennAdams for the new thread!

PuddingBear · 11/09/2022 19:05

Wow that filled up fast!

KennAdams · 11/09/2022 19:08

No probs, we sure can talk 🤣

I will also be having a section this time round after 3 vaginal births.. I'm quite nervous of the recovery after hearing so many horror stories 🙄

@KennAdams while obviously a section recovery will inevitably be more difficult than a straightforward VB recovery, all the people I know who have had an elective seem to have had a brilliant experience and good recovery, back to ‘normal’ fairly soon. Obviously nothing is guaranteed but there are lots of positive stories on here if you search ELCS recovery and just be aware that it will be different to recovery from an EMCS.

This sickness is kicking my ass today 😭 not been able to keep anything down! Praying it lightens up a bit after 1st trimester

Lapin387 · 11/09/2022 19:20

Hi again

AliceinSlumberland · 11/09/2022 19:34

Oh @DBS94 i really really hope it eases for you.

I’m so emotional, I just watched the Autumn John Lewis advert which shows a child from pregnancy to starting school and SOBBED. I never normally cry!!

GeorgiePorge · 11/09/2022 20:27

just checking in. This pregnancy has been kicking by bum this weekend. I've spent moat of it horizontal on the sofa or bed and just off to bed now.

Lovely seeing everyone's scans I had an early scan yesterday measured 7+6 - thought I was 8 so all good. Looks like a blob but was wonderful to see the heart beat. x

Marshmallowmountain · 11/09/2022 20:41

How is everyone dealing with work? I’m soooo tired and nauseous all the time. Makes work so difficult 😭

Marshmallowmountain · 11/09/2022 20:42

@GeorgiePorge congratulations on the scan!

Checking in, have been suffering so much with sickness and then working that I’ve been asleep for 8:30 every night! Hoping to contribute more to this thread, fingers crossed!

Checking in. Feeling rubbish like everyone else :/

Hi everyone just checking in and catching up, finding it hard to keep up with these threads!
Anyway i'm finally (hopefully) seeing a light at the end of the tunnel with the sickness, it's getting better daily at the moment. I'm 10+4 today so I'm hoping it's just because I'm getting closer to second trimester.
I think i'm going more towards an elective section this time round, I had a bad 3rd degree tear with DD and recovery was very hard, I don't want to risk causing permanent damage down there if I was to tear again although I know C-section recovery could be just as hard. Im keeping an open mind but should have a meeting with consultant in a few weeks to discuss the options.

So lovely to see all the scan pictures! 😍

Checking in. 10+2 today. Haven't been posting as been so exhausted and busy since back to work. Hope everyone else is doing well.

LauraA31 · 12/09/2022 09:58

Morning ladies!

Im 7 weeks today, going by the NHS dates on my early scan at EPU- im due back for my follow up on Thursday where i should be 7+3 and im terrified that something will be wrong!
I have had no more spotting since that day and the cramps are in my lower back but not stomach so im taking everything as a good sign!

I have woke up today and walked straight into a wall of nausea! I feel shocking, don’t want to be sick but feel so sick at the thought of food/drinks/moving hahaha! I’m back at work tomorrow after a week off which is going to be a nightmare.

Im absolutely shattered too, nights aren’t getting any easier. I’m still waking up in the middle of the night and staying awake for hourssssss and then can’t get comfy and back to sleep- boyfriend has told me to go to bed as early as possible so if i do wake up ive actually had some sleep.
boobs are still sore and tingling, im so so moody (even more so than normal) 😂

Im so happy for you all who have had wonderful scans! Fingers crossed i can update with a nice photo too on Thursday- im not sure if EPU provide photos?

Anyway, i hope you’re all doing well!
Going to try focus my day on cleaning and making some tea, then at least work will keep me super occupied before my scan on Thursday morning 😅

DBS94 · 12/09/2022 10:11

I was feeling seriously sorry for myself yesterday, my husband made me travel 40 mins to ikea and I cried in the car I was so unwell 😂😂 then spent the afternoon in bed being sick

Feeling more positive today, the sun is shining and I've managed to brush my hair and do my skin care so that's a bonus 🤣 how's everyone feeling? When's everyone's first NHS scan? Xx
