    Second pregnancy

    When did you start wearing maternity clothes during your second pregnancy? With my first I didn’t have to start until 12 weeks or so. I’m 9 weeks 2 days now and my pants are already tight. Idk if it’s just first trimester bloating or if it’s because my body knows what to do this time.

    Measuring 6+5 when I should be 7+4

    I went for an early scan today as I had a blighted ovum mmc last year which wasn't picked up until my dating scan at 13 weeks. I am pretty certain of my dates. LMP was 2nd July and I got a fairly clear test line on CD 28 which was, I thought, about 14dpo. When I was 5+1 I took one of the...

    Mother-in-law offered to come stay with us for the first week or two and I feel guilty that I don’t really want that. Am I being unreasonable?

    I’m only 8 weeks so have plenty of time to think this over, but my MIL offered to come stay with us when baby is born to “cook and clean.” Though I understand this comes from a good place on her part I am feeling like it is really something I don’t want and that refusing will cause drama with...
