Terrified of going into labor before my scheduled C-section

I'm 31 weeks but have been having painful Braxton Hicks contractions pretty often but they do go away. I also feel a lot of pressure down in my pelvis and can feel my baby moving exactly where my incision scar is which hurts because of the nerve damage from my previous section. I'm also a very hard stick so scared that if I go into labor beforehand it would be hard for them to get an IV in because it always is. My first baby was born at 42 weeks via emergency section but something has been telling me this one might come early. I have my maternity photoshoot scheduled on March 2nd so I'm praying I can at least make it to that but best if I make it to 39 weeks for the scheduled. Has anyone gone into labor early with their second before their scheduled an had to have another emergency?

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
