Ultrasound Pics

Baby boy is 4lbs 10 ounces 🥰 Basically due next month and I’m so excited (June 1st)

i’m currently 37 weeks pregnant! i was meant to have a scan on Tuesday as i have high blood pressure meaning i have a scheduled c section booked in for 39+3 (27th of April) however i arrived at my appointment 10 mins late as there was really bad traffic (and i live an hour away as it from the hospital) so we had to reschedule. they called me today and said they have rescheduled it for the 20th of April at 8am. only issue is this is only 1 week exactly before my planned c section. and this scan was to see if we needed to move the date forward due to my blood pressure continuing to increase so having a scan at 38+3 just seems a bit pointless. also if my blood pressure is high it means there could be more complications in my C section such as higher chance of bleeding out so i’d need to take blood pressure tablets but im worried a week isn’t enough time to sort my blood pressure out and i don’t know what to do.

High pain threshold...

Please give me some comfort im so nervous.
Ive just got out of 4 day stint in hospital after have a very intense bloody show at 35 + 3. Im talking blood down my legs kind of intense...
Anyway, im high risk. I have gestational diabetes, cholestasis and pre eclampsia, and have a section booked in 2 weeks time at 38 weeks. Before I was released from hospital I had a cervical check and I was 3cm, but they said all my levels were okay so go home and come straight back at the first sign of either waters breaking, more blood outside of mucus, or contractions. My problem is - im so worried that im not even going to realise something is a contraction snd miss it and then not even make it to the hospital for my section before im too dialated. I had no idea i was 3cm, ive had some slight cramps today but nothing thats concerned me??

Get Ready!!

Ladies! This is your sign to get ready if you haven’t started yet! It’s not too early. I hit 28 weeks today and started bleeding with no apparent cause. I didn’t have sex, I didn’t workout, nothing crazy happened. I went to my OB/GYN to get checked and they told me to go to the OB triage at the hospital because my cervix is thin. I’m at the hospital now and baby and everything is okay, my cervix is not alarmingly thin. I won’t be giving birth today, thank God! But this just goes to show that anything can happen at any moment. Get ready now and relax later!

Post c section back pain

Anyone experiencing back pains after c section…. It’s been 7 weeks and my back hurts!! Anyone experiencing this and had any hope with easing the pain?

12 week scan

I feel so connected to my baby as a girl, and can’t vision a boy! Everything is telling me it’s a girl but I know it can be either or! Does anyone feel like this at this stage?
