Love at First Scan

Where does pregnancy weight actually come from? 🤍

The next time you’re hard on yourself for gaining weight during pregnancy, remember that your body is doing something truly incredible.

It’s not just your baby growing. Your body is also:
🤍 Growing a placenta
🤍 Increasing blood volume
🤍 Producing amniotic fluid
🤍 Preparing your breasts for feeding
🤍 Expanding your uterus
🤍 Building energy stores to support your pregnancy and recovery

Every pregnancy is different, and these figures are approximate at full term, but they show just how much your body adapts to nurture new life.

Be kind to yourself. Your body isn’t just changing- it’s creating, protecting and sustaining your baby every single day.

Did you know that pregnancy weight was made up of so many different things?

👇 Let us know what surprised you most!

Figures shown are approximate at full term and will vary between pregnancies.

Skin-to-skin contact is one of the most important first moments after birth.

It can help regulate your baby's temperature, heart rate, breathing and blood sugar levels, whilst also supporting breastfeeding and strengthening the bond between parent and baby.

And it's not just for mums — partners can benefit from skin-to-skin too.

Every review, recommendation and kind word means so much to us as a small local business.

When we opened Love at First Scan, our goal was simple: to create a warm, welcoming and reassuring experience for every family who walks through our door.

Did you have delayed cord clamping?

Delayed cord clamping allows additional blood to transfer from the placenta to baby after birth and may offer several benefits during the newborn period.

Every birth is different, and your healthcare team can advise what is most appropriate for you and your baby.
