She then went on to explain that it’s because of where the placenta is forming/egg embedded, and she’s worked within the ultrasound department so she just knows. Surely this isn’t an accurate theory? A little annoyed, just becaus...

Xrays

Can you get Xrays whilst pregnant? I’ve tripped down the stairs, about 5 steps and hurt my ankle badly, would they be able to xray it or would I be waiting in A&E for no reason

Gender Scan 💙🩷

We’ve booked our gender scan for next Saturday, I’ll be 16+4. Did anyone struggle to find out the gender? I’m getting nervous they won’t be able to see. Also ordered a cake to do a reveal with family so don’t want to delay that

Can you see your cervix?

I thought I'd check out downstairs in a hand mirror and as I squatted I was shocked to be able to see my cervix! I'm sure I couldn't see it before?! Is this normal? I'm not in any pain and don't feel any discomfort. I'm 8 months pp. Please tell me I'm not the only one!
