Hey girls, my baby boy was born at 37 weeks and 3 days , they had to induced me because of severe preclamsia. They have him in the NICU for respiratory distress doctors says is normal and is the transition from the belly to the world

But I want to know about any positive stories? So hard leaving the hospital without him.

My son decided to make his appearance at 37 weeks on his own. I had a amniotic infection we didn't know about and he pooped and inhaled it so his lungs were taking all the hits. 1 week on antibiotics, weaned himself off the CPAP by day 3 and off O2 by day 5 and was discharged from NICU on day 8. He hasn't stopped since! I can't keep up with him most days and you would never know he had a rough start! He will be 2 this November 😊

Good luck to you and baby and congratulations! I am scheduled for a C section at 37 weeks and 2 days and have my own concerns about the medical needs my baby girl will have so I'm following this thread

Congratulations my goddaughter was at 28wks and spent a month in nicu and is now 16yrs old thrilling, in all types of sports events and activities and living her best life so you got this momma

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

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 😂🥲
