That's so strange! In my trust we don't get it until our 28 week appointment, I had one at 25 weeks and got given it then but deffo weren't meant to ask for it at my scan! Seems so odd!

My midwife said she would give me mine at my 25w appointment unless I needed it earlier, luckily the appointment was a couple of days before 25 so I waited till then, no mention of 20w scan at all!! Surely they can just write it out for you and leave it at the doctors reception, it takes like 2 seconds.
We’re doing ok. Very very sore and stiff. Oramorph isn’t really touching the pain and I keep catching the battery pack from my dressing on things or dropping it which tugs and really hurtsHow are you and baby Raspberry @raspberryjuice ?
I find myself coming on and checking this thread whenever I’m free! It’s so weird as I used it as a support network whilst I was pregnant then suddenly you’re not pregnant so there’s not really any point me being here, but I’m so interested and invested in a bunch of strangers’ on the internets pregnancies and hope everyone is okay!? I said I didn’t like being pregnant, but I do miss itMaybe it’s because my body is sore and it weren’t as sore as this when up the duff
and I feel pretty ropey because my iron levels are really low after blood loss during the op Baby R is really cuddly and an absolute dream. I didn’t know it was possible to love something so much
How are you guys?
I’m the same - still very sore and it’s 4 days later! I get mine off tomorrow I’m dreading itWe’re doing ok. Very very sore and stiff. Oramorph isn’t really touching the pain and I keep catching the battery pack from my dressing on things or dropping it which tugs and really hurts
Baby R is really cuddly and an absolute dream. I didn’t know it was possible to love something so much
How are you guys?
are you home yet? Oramorph was good for me at the hospital but I’m lost without it, I don’t think the ibuprofen and paracetomal is even touching the sides! I tried hoovering up before and my partner came up behind me and was like ‘ermmmm…. let’s not’ Baby waternelon is amazing. She’s so content. She’s just so small 🥲 she only lost 100 grams when she was weighed yesterday so the midwife weren’t mega concerned, and she’s weighed again tomorrow!
Omg stay away from the hoover!!! @watermelon sugar
I can’t believe you guys have your tiny little babies now! It’s crazy! @raspberryjuice Hope you’re keeping well and resting as much as possible. I really don’t know how I would cope with having a section, and people think that’s the easy option!!

That’s what I thought, surely it can’t be that hard to fill out. I’ve read GPs can fill it out too so I think I’ll ask if my GP can do it next week instead. It’s all just so unclear!!
@raspberryjuice @watermelon sugar hope you’re both resting up as much as possible and soaking up all the cuddles with your babies, you’re both doing amazing
Omg I survived a 6 hour car journey 
but no one seems to realise how tit it was for me between the heat, sickness and my hormones making me annoyed at everything and everyone.
Mr 10 especially is pissing me right off

Off tomorrow? That’s crazy! Mines on for 7 days but it’s a vaccuum one and feels so weird. Did they not give you oramorph to take home? I’ve used quarter of a bottle already. If I sit for too long it’s like I can feel every stitch in every layer. We came home last night at 11, it was a pretty rough night until me and Mr R started taking it in turns to sleep. I hadn’t slept since Tuesday until 4:30 this morning which meant I had a really deep sleep and woke up soooo stiff 2 hours later. I couldn’t even move my legs 
Are you struggling with swollen legs/feet too? My feet are absolutely huge I can’t even get a croc on anymore
Definitely don’t do any hoovering!! I can’t talk though I keep trying to do everything myself and getting shouted at I lifted up the full steriliser bucket earlier and Mr R screamed at me while I also screamed in pain
Go Baby Watermelon, that’s great for her weight! Shes doing so well
After all my worrying about Baby R being huge I’ve had to send people out for newborn clothes and even they’re big on him
I just can’t stop staring at him

They gave me one final syringe for the car ride home and I savoured every drip of it! Yeah if I sit too long I’m stiff as a board, I’m trying to do everything too and funnily enough i tried picking up a full bucket of steriliser too My 4yo was also like ‘so Mummy now the baby is out of your belly you can play Spiderman with me now, you’re Hulk’ I was like ermmmm I don’t think my stomach can manage that just yet Omg yes my ankles are so fat! I’ve got cankles!!
Aw he looks adorable
newborns are just so cute aren’t they. Baby W is in tiny baby she’s just so dinky she’s like a little doll!

If you don't mind... Re the ankles. Do you not have to wear the compression socks?? I won't bother to buy decent ones if not.
Also, I wasn't given any pain killer at all to take home last time, just ibuprofen and paracetamol staggered every 2 hours, is that the same? I've been stocking up box upon box.
Do you have to do the fragmin injections?
How's the swaddle going?
I know you'll be mega busy with baby so no pressure to answer x

So i had the section and had to get put to sleep when she was already out because they hadn’t numbed me properly. I had her at 1:27am and I woke up with the compression socks on, I had them on until about 2/3ish in the afternoon. No one told me to keep them on
My midwife said to me the other day, wake up and take 2 paracetomal and 2 ibuprofen, then 4 hrs later paracetamol, then 4 hrs after that ibuprofen and paracetomal again
Yes I’ve got to do the fragmin injections. I’ve been getting my partner to do it because I don’t like it
I haven’t been swaddling. She was swaddled at the hospital then that was it! The midwife told me not to when she came out the other day
I still can’t get my head round the fact I got a caesarean. My first birth was so easy and just a delight, was expecting the same this time round 🥲 It was completely different!
Just an update on my bleeding.. I bled none stop for 5 days (at roughly 5 weeks pregnant), the bleeding got worse, then cramping and severe left ovary pain started, so I really feared the worst. I went for an emergency scan today
I’m pleased to say all looks well so far! I’m just 5 weeks (they didn’t want to scan me but the pregnancy could have been molar or ectopic) so they’d done one today (instead of next week as they’d originally told me). They don’t know why I was bleeding, but they’re treating me as high risk and giving me extra monitoring, scans, and meds now. I’m still bleeding, but they’re not worried about that and they said I should celebrate this, and it all looks good so far, with things exactly as they should be
It’s probably my cervix/ something hormonal, but it remains a mystery. I wasn’t going to post on here as I’m scared of jinxing things after previous losses (and the whole thing has RUINED my mental health), but I hoped it might help others who experienced the same as me at my point if they’re reading this in the future and it happens to them. I’ve had dark brown bleeding literally constantly for 5 days now, which would class as moderate, and yet things still look okay. I don’t want to make the post too triggering by being more descriptive, but it honestly looked like I’d lost the pregnancy and we weren’t expecting to see anything left on the scan today. I’m so grateful to the ladies on here that shared their experience with bleeds that didn’t automatically mean bad news or a sad outcome because it really gave me hope and was the only thing getting me through this week.
I’m going to dip out this thread for now for the sake of my mental health (the stress has been unbearable, perhaps due to the other losses I’ve had too, and I’m really over analysing everything so need to pretend I’m not pregnant for a bit) but I hope I’ll be back soon! Lots of love and good luck to you all, and I hope we’ll be sharing nice news again soon 🩷🩷
