Baby arrived yesterday

What a whirlwind 24 hours - felt intense contractions last night at 2 am and told my husband I think this is it. My water didn’t break and I didn’t lose my mucus plug, but I felt something.

I was right! I got to the hospital and I was 3-4 cm dilated. They admitted me and I got the epidural immediately. 4 hours later I was 4 cm dilated so then together we decided to give me pitocin even though I was really trying to avoid. But the options were pitocin and slow progression or potential c section later.

This is where it gets nuts - around noon I told my nurse I think I feel his head and I was right! I was fully dilated! It took 3-4 hours from the pitocin and I was at 10 cm.

I pushed from 12-12:45 pm and that was it! Levi joined us at 12:45 pm ET on 11/11 💙

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

Random one!

My 5 month old has only ever had tears from one eye the other has never had a single tear, it doesn't look red gunky or anything just never had a tear?
Is this anything to worry about ? I did ask the doctor while she was younger but it's still going on!
