Too many

I have been having a crazy amount of ultrasounds and it's so hard to make the time for them... I had one yesterday because they couldn't find her heart beat at my weekly appointment,but she is perfectly healthy! My next scan is the 14th, do yall think it would be ok to push them out?

I personally wouldn’t… but I’ve just been following you and baby girls story. I’m not the one actively dealing with medical fatigue. So if you really feel like maybe not this week see what are your options for rescheduling cuz it seems you’re high risk?

it is a lot and it really makes me feel like crap because I have to drive 45 minutes to my doctors. I am high risk, I have bad hg and lost 16lbs and preeclampsia along with epilepsy that's why I have weekly appointments some run 5 days apart even. Bring kids with and having to work around my husband's work has been crazy..... I can't drive most the time because my meds 😫 it's been hell and very depressing I can't wait to give birth....
I most definitely will have to ask my doctor if she is ok with a little more than a week so I can plan

So I had preeclampsia with my first pregnancy and I had my appointments back to back, sometimes twice in one day. Doctors advised me that it wasn’t a good idea to space them out because of all the issues I had. Personally I wouldn’t, but you can always ask your doctor.

I had it with my daughter as well but my appointments were 2 weeks apart still

Yeah then it should be fine, I guess. Still ask your doctor.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
