Bump measurement at 24 weeks

I’ve just had my 24 week appointment and the midwife didn’t measure my bump, just listened to baby’s heartbeat. Is this normal or have they forgotten?!

At my 25 week appointment they did measure bump. I think it depends on area x

I’m not getting mine measured until next week which will be 28 weeks… where I am in Scotland we don’t get an appt between 22 weeks and 28! Xx

I haven't had mine measured at all, I'm 26 weeks now. I am having growth scans though, I think this is because I'm plus sized to begin with so maybe measuring me wouldn't be accurate. I think 28 weeks is standard though so hopefully you'll get your first measurement then 🤞

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
