12 week scan - anybody have any idea on gender? More photos in comments

I’ve got no idea what I’m looking for with either nub or skull theory (or if the nub is even visible?) 🩷🩵

3 days until c-section & my anxiety is so bad

Planed cs after emergency cs. I know this will be “different”. I know I won’t have the added trauma/ stressors… yet, I’m still extremely anxious. It hit me yesterday after my last OB apt when they gave me pre-op packets etc. I couldn’t sleep last night, and I’ve been anxious all day. How did you calm yourself before going in?

What if my anxiety is so bad, they say they need to put me to sleep to do it? I don’t know, that’s probably not how they decide to do that, but I’m just freaking out tonight 😞

C section

For the women who have had a C-Section, how long did you take pain meds for?

Vaginal or c-section? Where’s your head at?

So many friends have started asking me what I’m thinking about birthing plan and to be honest I’ve not really thought about it (probably should at some point 🫣) A number of friends didn’t have great birthing experiences and ended up with emergency c-sections which got me researching planned ones despite it never previously being something I had considered.

I’m curious to see where other mums-to-be heads are at with this one & thoughts behind it? No judgement here! 🥰

C section mamas - tummy and around the incision still tender?

I had my c section 3.5 weeks ago and generally I’m feeling good but if I touch or put any pressure on my stomach above my c section then it’s still pretty tender.

Do others have this?

Headache and thirst

After some advice before I call triage unnecessarily. I drank 3 pints of water during the night as I was so thirsty and I am still super thirsty now. I’ve got a headache which isn’t really shifting even with paracetamol. I generally just feel a bit off. I’m just under 37 weeks.

I’ve had 3 negative gestational diabetes tests this pregnancy as I had GD in my last pregnancy and baby is measuring above 97th percentile.
