Hey mamas! How often does your doctor do ultrasounds? I'm almost 10 weeks and I just really hope I get to see my baby again on my second appointment.

Normally second ultrasound is alot closer to 20 weeks. I get one every 2 weeks after 14 weeks but that's due to me Being high risk. Most people ik that aren't high risk only have a small handful of ultrasounds threw there entire pregnancy. My sister had 5 with a breach baby. They don't like to do alot unless it's needed.

Any "uncomplicated" pregnancy usually only gets 3-4 ultrasounds throughout the entire pregnancy. I'm high risk so I get one every time or every other time depending on how far along I am.

For this age, if umbilical cord is off, I'd say once a week. As my baby got older I bathed him once a day because now he gets food all over him 😂

Everyone is different I sponge bathe my baby every night before bed with his nighttime wash and lotion puts him right to sleep ❤️ you do whatever you see fit baby's get milk or formula down their necks and they poop constantly that first few weeks so i think a quick sponge is in order my son's umbilical cord is still attached he's 6 days old

How often does everyone keep their 3 week old in a swaddle? My baby is in a swaddle constantly and I'm wondering if that's a bad thing. She's always sleeping and not awake often. I'm just wondering when I should start offering her toys for her to interact with

My baby boy is 5 days old we do tummy time every day he loves looking at fairy lights in the one room and he is swaddled most of the night and in a wearable blanket during the day so he can move his hands and feet😊

I'm 37 weeks and have been having Braxton hicks contractions since 32 weeks they usually come every now and then and depends on what position you are in for some people like me if I'm sitting up I get them at the top of my stomach it just gets super tight and hard

I plan on breastfeeding but new at it..how often should I pump? Is pumping necessary? Was going to exclusively breastfeed as long as I can but I see so many moms pump so how often should I pump?

I ebf and pump to relieve pressure. If you don’t want a freezer stash or plan on bottle feeding sometimes I wouldn’t do it just because it takes up a lot of time and can be really hard on your body. I try to pump before bed since my little one doesn’t eat a lot at night and I’ll end up engorged and leaking

You don’t need to pump. It’s a choice or if your an over supplier then you’ll want to completely empty your breast so you don’t end up clogged with mastitis. My sister never pumped but is still breastfeeding and my niece is over a year old. I pumped and breastfed whatever I was feeling at the time

I think it Depends on where you go for prenatal care. Where i go it’s once for each trimester, If its a high risk pregnancy they’re seen more often
