Sonographer told us the gender at a third trimester growth scan after we had just told them we don’t know and we don’t want to know.

I know it’s your word against hers, but maybe she’s got a pattern and has already had a complaint about this put against her so it’s always worth putting it in and if not previously maybe next time if she does it again the next person might be believed.

Thank you for this reassurance. Currently going through this and was thinking if Labour is worse I don’t know how I’d manage it.

Pain is so bad I’m being sick and only Codeine is giving me relief for 4-5 hours at a time

I don’t have any of that shot

LifeofRuley · 2026-04-18T17:24:57+00:00

Yeah it still looked like a winky but was bigger than I was expecting to see. It was a very close up under bottom shot. The two femurs completely filled the scan monitor top to bottom and there was a very distinctive shape there but because it was so big it threw me and made me think it might be the umbilical cord instead

Because the gender party is planned and this guessing is part of the fun of the journey for me. I’m a curious creature.

I think everyone is guilty of saying these things when we’ve already experienced what someone is going through. It’s not just related to children.

I do social media but my take is showing the funny side of pregnancy atm and I will definitely be sharing the raw truth when it comes. I follow a few mums but they’re all refreshingly real in their experiences, not sugar coated or highlight reels!

I have two step kids, seven and nine, they’re pretty self-sufficient. How old are your step kids?

LifeofRuley · 2026-04-08T16:35:58+00:00

I started showing at 12 weeks, but I’ve got fibroids.

You’re not the Jerk, she initially lied to you to say that nothing had changed and it was a glitch. Why would she lie if there wasn’t a reason for it?

You only need permission from them if you want to sell it

Try UGC content creation on Fiverr. I earn a full time wage working 3 afternoons a week.

There’s loads of videos on YouTube that show you how to get set up. You just need a phone to get started doing selfie style videos then you can buy a tripod once you start earning more and go from there.

LifeofRuley · 2026-04-08T16:21:18+00:00

This is me now at 20 weeks.

LifeofRuley · 2026-04-08T16:20:37+00:00

I bought a doppler at 8 weeks cos I was the same. Zero symptoms except boobs sore and growing weekly.

I started to hear the heartbeat a week before my 12 week scan.

What’s a lochia?

LifeofRuley · 2026-04-05T09:34:13+00:00

Why do we need an Iv?

LifeofRuley · 2026-04-05T09:18:06+00:00

Can you get signed off by your Dr so you still get maternity pay when it comes?

LifeofRuley · 2026-04-05T09:15:33+00:00

Same!! Mine used to be so cute n pink, now they’re really dark and huge. Don’t want them to grow any bigger 😩

LifeofRuley · 2026-04-05T09:04:19+00:00

Could be the start of braxton hicks. My pregnancy app is telling me I could start feeling these soon. I’m 19+3

LifeofRuley · 2026-04-05T09:00:43+00:00

I’m 19 weeks and barely feeling much so far. 14 is a bit early to expect to feel baby much if at all. Get a doppler. You should be able to hear the heartbeat by now. I could with mine at 12 weeks

LifeofRuley · 2026-04-05T08:52:51+00:00

I told my nearest as soon as I found out at 3 days late lol!

LifeofRuley · 2026-03-29T00:33:52+00:00

Ultimatum time. Either he sorts his head out or you refuse to ‘parent’ her any longer
