DELIVERY!

Hiya I'm just wondering can you request a C-section the second time round my first pregnancy was a C section and If so when can you request it.

Yes, if you've already had one I was told they'd likely suggest another

Yep! I had a c section with both my kids. you can decide to have another c section or try for a VBAC

Yes absolutely!! They gave me the choice of a vbac or another section x

You are in control. You can request but just know it means more risk to third baby if you’re having one. You can try VBAC depending on how long the interval between your surgery and the second pregnancy (they want 18 Mon minimum usually to reduce chances of uterine rupture to 1% versus 2.7% if you only wait 6 months). Ultimately, it’s up to you whatever you want to do. Good luck!

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 😂🥲

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
