C section

I’m 40 weeks tomorrow and have a c section planned in, I’m starting to feel really nervous and anxious. Has anyone had a c section that can put my mind at rest that it will all be okay and not as bad as I’m thinking in my head please? 😭 trying to just focus on my baby girl being here tomorrow but it’s proving difficult 🤦‍♀️

I had a planned c section it was a nice relaxing experience and I got another planned with my second next Friday you will be fine don’t worry too much x

I have a section booked for next Thursday and just had my pre op today. I have never had one before as my last birth was natural. I keep telling myself they do them day in day out all day everyday! They are part of the norm now! My sister had 2 and I know lots of people who have had them and said they were a good experience. I am more bothered about recovery after I think. I am very independent and like to just get on with stuff and I think I will struggle with all the need for help the first week or so 🙈. Best of luck tomorrow I am sure you will be okay and you will soon be holding your baby girl. ❤️

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
