C section or vaginal birth?

So I’ve had 1 c section previously and I’m pregnant with my second , if you had the choice to have either a c section or vaginal birth what would you go for ? I never had the opportunity to give birth vaginally and I’m not sure if I should book a c section or go for it ? I’m in two minds !

10000000% vaginal birth! I had csection 1st and 2 vaginal after which I not only enjoyed (3rd seriously!) But recovered from quicker and easier. 2nd was emergency situation as baby's heart dropped and was stirups, episiotomy vontous delivery and still I'd have that over a csection recovery!!!! X

I would definitely pick vaginal birth as long as your not induced. I found being induced a lot worse than my C section.

I picked c section for my second Bc I already had one already via an emergency c section. It was really smooth, calm, and I knew what to expect.

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
