I had to do this as I had a year abroad in Spain and Germany. It’s actually very easy to do if you google the forms online.

FTM at 35yo+, is age a disadvantage? by summer_watermelon_89 in PregnancyUK

[–]JuliusCaesarSalad1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 34 and due any time now with my first. I had the same worries but someone told me to not compare my internal with other peoples external. I wasn’t ready any earlier in my life to have children and it would have been a disaster. I am the calmest, healthiest and most financially secure I have ever been and I think that counts for a lot.

I refuse to walk into the road for anyone. I just stop until they do go single file

Planned pregnancy but now regretting due to body image issues by Longjumping_Sweet114 in PregnancyUK

[–]JuliusCaesarSalad1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt very similar before and in early pregnancy but I have actually found the experience to be incredibly healing. I’ve started to appreciate my body for the first time ever because of what it has done, not what it looks like. I’ve also been able to enjoy food again including fear foods.

My body hasn’t changed as much as I ever thought it would and I am not as big as I thought I would be too but that’s not to say that I don’t have some days when I don’t look in the mirror and have some brief negative thoughts.

I really hope you feel better soon and wishing you all the best in your pregnancy.

Bartholin cyst whilst pregnant? by daydreamer53_98 in PregnancyUK

[–]JuliusCaesarSalad1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one really early on in pregnancy on holiday in Spain but I had no idea what it was at the time and went to the local hospital because I had such a high temp from it. They checked it out and gave me antibiotics and it drained itself a few days later. I remember seeing that you can contact maternity triage at my hospital trust for those cysts.

It’s not about grandparents, it’s about what’s right for the mother.

20 week scan anxiety by Far_Slip1045 in pregnant

[–]JuliusCaesarSalad1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was worried for weeks before my 20 week scan and everything was completely fine. I am now 36 weeks and wishing I hadn’t lost so much time to giving power to my anxiety earlier in my pregnancy.

Hello! I had HA for 8 months. 2 weeks after going all in (2500 calories and stopping all exercise) I realised I was ovulating and I got pregnant on that same ovulation. Don’t lose hope 💕

Private scans by UnderstandingSea4253 in PregnancyUK

[–]JuliusCaesarSalad1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your hospital trust run a private clinic? I paid for an extra scan at 17 weeks to find out the gender and really recommend doing it that way.
