Low lying placenta - boy?

I've read on the Tommy's website that a low lying placenta points to baby being a boy, just wondered how true this has been for others? Also did yours move with the 30 something week scan?

I had a low lying placenta at my 20 week scan and we’re having a boy! I’m now 37 weeks pregnant and at my last growth scan (32 weeks) my placenta had moved way out of the way :) x

I have a low lying placenta at my 20 week and it’s a girl! Waiting to see if it’s moved at my 32 week scan x

I have placenta previa and I’m having a girl xx

My 20 week scan showed I had a low lying placenta and I’m having a girl. Hoping it’s moved by next scan at 32 weeks 🤞🏾 the sonographer said 90% of the time it does move up as baby grows x

My low lying placenta moved at 32 weeks. I’m carrying a boy x

Mine is low and at the front this time and im having a girl. Its not covering the exit though thankfully😅

I had a low-lying placenta and had a girl 😊 my mum also had one with me! My MIL also had one for both her son & daughter so no indication of baby’s sex!
All of ours moved by 32 weeks also! 😊

I’ve had it with both my girls. I don’t think it points towards a certain gender x

I’m having a boy and got a low lying placenta.. xxx

Leaking waters?

I’m 35 weeks today wooo but… every morning for the past two weeks I’ve woken up with a palm sized water mark in my pants! - no smell, no pain and unaware of it happening…

I thought it might be leaking waters so got it checked out but the midwife said it was might be urine/watery discharge! - but it’s still happening.. thoughts? 💭🫶🏻

Hi we’re new here!

My name is Kyra I’m 26 and my happy girl is Kora and she is 2 months old ☺️

Pelvic girdle pain and birth

I have been experiencing awful pain. More so recently. I'm now using crutches to get around but it's more painful at night and when I lay down or sit down. I'm worried about birthing. I've got other issues and baby boy is estimating 8pounds at 36 weeks. I've been booked in for an induction 9 days prior to my due date. Surely he's going to be even bigger and I just don't feel like I've had any birth discussions in detail really. Ive only seen midwife twice and each time I've seen a consultant it's someone different. Has anyone else experienced awful pelvic pain and birthed a big baby?

Upcoming C-section.

So I’ve decided to go for an elective C-section, I know it’s the right choice after months of deliberating but I’m soooooo nervous.

I’ve had 2 very complicated births. I kinda know what to expect from the recovery as I had an emergency section with my first but I just feel nervous about being awake during it & what it feels like.. I’ve heard they strap your arms down and I’m scared of something going wrong.

I know every experience is different but if you’re happy to share what your elective was like for you (good and bad) id be very grateful. I feel really unprepared!

17 months

How is my baby girl already 17 months!?! She is such a happy girl, and I hope that continues throughout her life!

C-section infection

Anyone with c-section infection experience?
I’m 9 weeks pp and I’ve been battling an infection on the left hand side of the wound for 4 weeks. Now that I managed to get that side better, the other half suddenly started oozing.
I’ve been on 3 rounds of antibiotics, I’m pretty sure they are giving my baby reflux. What the hell I’m supposed to do??!! 😭
