Hi!

Hi I want to introduce myself! I'm Susanna and this is our journey so far. I went into labor on Monday May 15 and was already dilated to a three before I realized something was wrong and went to the hospital. I was admitted and the next morning I was already to a 6cm. I was given an epidural and we prepared thinking baby was coming within hours. By Wednesday I'd dilated to 8cm but still was just laboring. My obgyn gave me everything to stop labor and it still kept progressing. We decided to just let my body choose what to do and keep monitoring baby. Thursday I went down to only a few contraction every hour and wasn't progressing at all. I had the epidural for 2 days before they removed it and started giving iv pain meds. I still kept laboring until Tuesday night where transitioned into active labor. I finally was given another epidural after midnight and was able to sleep for a few hours. Wednesday morning came and around 8:00 my ob checked me and I was to 9 1/2 cm. And my water still had not broken on its own. Within 25 minutes I had given birth to my baby girl. She was 4 pounds and 10 ounces Born at 32 weeks. She's in nicu and doing good. She's breathing on her own and starting feeding. I'm here for support as this is all so new to me and I really don't know how to handle it all

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
