Concerns?

At my 20w ultrasound my doctor couldn’t get proper measurements bc she refused to move so they told me to come back in 4 weeks, we’ll I did and same thing she refused to move no matter what I ate or drank or using the bathroom, ext so I was sent to talk to my OB two days later, they told me my lil girl is measuring at only 1pound 4oz and that she is in the 9th percentile so now I’m being sent to a whole different hospital to get a “second level” ultrasound. I go this Friday for the ultrasound when I’m 26w 2d and latly I haven’t been able to sleep, I’ve gotten maybe 5 hours total in the last week bc I’m scared something is wrong. Anyone ever go thru this? My little girl is super active all the time and I’m 4”9 myself. My first son was 5p 6oz so I feel like im just over thinking it?

Try not to stress too much, ultrasound measurements aren't always correct- they almost induced my friend because she was measuring at 90th percentile but it turns out the baby was right at 50th when she was born a week later... and sometimes they test just to be extra cautious I was sent to get a fetal echo because I'm 1% more likely than the general public to have a baby with a heart defect, there wasn't a defect, and they wouldn't have known for sure until he was born anyway

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!!
