Does anything beat seeing that first scan?

You think you’ll relax once you get those lines. You then think you’ll relax once you see the scan. The truth is, you never relax when kids are involved – am I right??

The constant worry of whether you’re eating healthily enough, making sure you don’t lift anything heavy. Making sure you don’t overdo it. Trying to relax, but feeling guilty when you do. Constantly Googling EVERY.LITTLE.SYMPTOM.

What tips do you have for getting through this time?

The EARLY PREGNANCY SCAN or the 1st scan of your pregnancy is done between 5 weeks to 10 weeks of the last missed period, and it answers some or all of the following queries:- To confirm location of the pregnancy (Is the baby inside the uterus ?) To determine fetal viability (Is the baby’s heart beating ?) To measure fetal heart rate (How fast is the baby’s heart beat ?) To provide accurate gestational dating by crown-rump-length (How far along am I?) To establish an estimated due date (When is the baby due?) To determine number of fetuses (Could I be having twins?) To assess the ovaries and uterus to make sure that they are normal (please note that these structures are not always clear on ultrasound) – Depending on the mother’s habitus,fullness of the bladder and size of the embryo, the scan can be done through the transvaginal or transabdominal route. – Both the methods are equally safe and cause no harm to the mother or her little one.

Is there a better place to find out you’re expecting a baby than in the Bahamas?! I was lucky enough to be in the middle of our summer holiday, docked on a cruise ship when I was found out the wonderful news that we were to become a family of four.

I knew something ‘wasn’t right’ when I bent down to pick up a pair of shoes and complained the boat was ‘extra rocky’ today to my husband.

He then enlightened me that the boat was in fact, in port 🤣 time to test!
