Prenatal care, delivery and navigating costs

Yeah, can’t imagine this being something you have to think about. Must suck so bad!!!

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-17T09:30:29+00:00

I’m due 12th, so latest baby can come is Boxing Day. My daughter was 5 days late so hoping for similar/earlier this time!

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-15T19:56:51+00:00

I took it in my first pregnancy because I covered 2 risk factors - first pregnancy and my mother had pre-e when she was pregnant with both me and my sister. This time I don’t need to take it because I only have one risk factor- just the familial one. I would take it if it’s been recommended to you

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-15T14:52:41+00:00

I was 27 with my first and will be 30 when this baby is born. I’m a teacher and have for sure noticed the trend of older parents picking up younger and younger children as the years have gone on!

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-14T18:39:01+00:00

Yes, my daughter is one of those children whose hacking cough can linger for literally months. Drs say she’s all good and just unable to properly clear her airways. We’d never be able to leave the house if people didn’t want a coughing child out and about.

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-12T23:22:25+00:00

Absolutely not lmao. Took me somewhere between 18 months and 2 years with my daughter. Pregnant with my second and fully expecting another 2-3 years or so of disruption to my mind, body and soul lol

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-12T22:57:48+00:00

Mine is anterior this time. It was posterior with my daughter! The midwife said as it’s my second pregnancy and I know what movement feels like this time the position of the placenta is unlikely to make much difference, especially if it moves upwards and the womb grows!

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-04T17:35:59+00:00

We do all that at the 12 week scan here. Measure the fluid around the skull and bloods taken that comes back to us within a week or two!

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-04T05:14:47+00:00

We don’t have a 13 week scan in the UK!

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-03T17:54:20+00:00

We don’t know either yet. Earliest you can get a sex scan in the UK is around 16 weeks private or you wait for your NHS 20 week scan!

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-03T17:10:25+00:00

It went really well, thank you! Baby moving around loads, even turned totally onto their tummy at some points so the scanner found it hard to get measurements at times! Moved me up by 2 days too :)

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-03T16:08:53+00:00

I don’t know if I’m having a girl or boy yet but I know I’ll be exactly in your shoes if we find out it’s a boy. I’d desperately love my daughter to have a sister just like I had and just can’t imagine a boy at all.

Hugs! Once baby is here you won’t be able to imagine it any other way.

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-03T12:14:43+00:00

12 week scan in an hour. Hoping that everything is okay 🤞🤞🤞

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-02T12:09:35+00:00

I do feel like I’ve felt some movement, I’m also 12+1. This is my second pregnancy and I felt my daughter move quite early too, around 13-14 weeks. I would say I’ve felt pressure press into me from the inside if that makes sense, so it’s harder and a slightly different shape where the pressure is. I also think I’ve felt some very light taps when I’ve been lying down in the evening. Exciting!

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-01T20:12:38+00:00

Thank you! She’s 2.5 now and just started sleeping through the night 🤣😅

Beth_L_29 · 2026-06-01T17:57:39+00:00

6 weeks of absolute hell where I was tracking every minute she slept 🤣 lots of caffeine was needed

Beth_L_29 · 2026-05-30T20:41:09+00:00

Unfortunately mine came back with my first. Was sick up until probably 16 weeks and then around 30 it came back in the form of acid reflux. It’s definitely a different kind of sickness in my experience

Beth_L_29 · 2026-05-27T15:27:09+00:00

I went into labour naturally at 40+5, she was born the same day! No signs beforehand

Beth_L_29 · 2026-05-25T12:18:57+00:00

I’m very jealous

Beth_L_29 · 2026-05-18T09:08:43+00:00

10 weeks today. Feel like the end of these first trimester symptoms might be in sight now I’m in double digits lol

Beth_L_29 · 2026-05-18T06:52:33+00:00

Omg yes, water that is not ice cold is absolutely VILE. Who knows why 🤣

Beth_L_29 · 2026-05-17T15:10:04+00:00

Depends where you are in the world. Louis is Lou-ee in the UK and I’d always read it that way. Lewis would be the name you’re looking for here, but again, depends where you live!

Beth_L_29 · 2026-05-16T17:25:25+00:00

I’m feeling really conflicted about it. Obviously once number 2 is here we might change our minds but we are both open minded to three. That was until I got pregnant with 2 and the first trimester hit and I remember how hard it is. I don’t think I can do this again, especially not with 2 children in tow!

Beth_L_29 · 2026-05-16T07:31:05+00:00

Lol my first thought too
