Can anyone recommend the best pregnancy style pillow please? I currently have one of those long ones but struggling to get comfy with it and feel its just too big! I'm starting to get pain in my hips at night time sleeping on my side so don't know if a smaller wedge kind of one would be better if anyone has one they find comfy and could recommend.
I also have my 20 week scan this Friday and feeling really nervous and anxious about it, so far all scans have been fine but I think where its the anomaly scan and they do all the thorough checks it has made me really anxious and scared that something could be wrong, can someone let me know what kind of checks it is they do and what the appointment will entail, hoping having some idea with what to expect will ease my anxiety slightly, thank you xx

I had Morning sickness from my boy but nothing like this. Now its 24/7 feeling like Im on a boat on a storm. I just wait I can go to bed at night 
other hand Im sure we Will just have boys. But this pregnancy has been so different. But im older so who knows.

Is anyone else an underweight BMI? I am. It never actually occurred to me this could affect my pregnancy and baby but now I’ve realised it can and I’m freaking out!!! It’s not on purpose, I can’t stress how bad my diet is - I eat a LOT of bad food, don’t exercise at all - ever. I quite literally do less than 1,000 steps most days as I WFH. So to be honest, I live the life of an overweight person it’s truly genetics and heritage to blame. I’ve never been over a size 6 and have weighed 47kg quite literally forever
But now hearing all the associated risks with being underweight I’m just panicked.

Can anyone recommend any Facebook groups that are good for checking recommendations and reviews on items such as cots, prams etc?

Yeah I keep checking for the plug. Or the waters. I’ll never forget when my waters broke before - it was an insane amount of fluid!

I used to think this tale was the case till my mam told me she had horrendous sickness with my two brothers but not me

I was the same with Mr Whippy. It’s to do with the hygiene of the machines I believe. I’ve had to make do with McFlurrys which is sort of similar so might be worth a try for you? 
I get them with no bits and no sauce so it’s just the icecream
Hope you get some sleep soon!

I had one at 40+1 which was quite painful (I definitely wasn’t ready)
Another at 40+6 weeks which didn’t really hurt
And then went into early labour 41+2, she gave me another sweep while checking my dilation (1cm) and it ramped everything up, within 5 hours I was 4cm
Question, would you have an early reassurance scan without your partner? My husband is away for two weeks when I hit the point I can have one, and prior to that we are on holiday together. He said he doesn't mind if I go without him but I would rather wait until he can come with me. But by that time I will be 9-10 weeks so may as well wait for the 12 week scan? At the moment I'm kind of relaxed (maybe because it's not hit me yet) so I'm thinking unless I get any strange symptoms to just wait until the 12 week scan?

How was it? I’ve just been offered one at my 39 week appointment next week. Heard they can be uncomfortable.

Thank you, heard a few people say this about next to me's, I guess they are quite big for a tiny baby! I got a free Ickle Bubba one with my travel system so if baby girl doesn't like it it won't be the end of the world. Just need to have a fiddle with it and learn how to put the side down, at least i won't have to get out of bed!
It's got a huge storage tray which had been fab already as I've stocked it full of wipes as I bought them in bulk!!

How do we all feel about sweeps? I'm 31 weeks now so need to start being mentally prepared haha. I maybe should look at some statistics. Is it bascially meant to bring on labour sooner? I kinda just wanted to let my body do it's thing but let me know what you all think. First baby as you can tell, no idea what I'm doing tbh lol

Oh OK. With my current youngest I know it was at the front and I felt him around 16ish weeks if I remember correctly. He was a very small baby and a barely showed with him.
