ICSI babies and placenta failure

Guys, I need more information. Can anyone point me in the right direction for advice?

My consultant is insistent that we absolutely cannot go overdue with an ICSI baby because there's a "high risk" of placenta failure past 40 weeks. Apparently not so much with straightforward IVF babies but ICSI in particular.

Does anyone know anything about this? I'm trying for a VBAC this time after a really traumatic labour and emergency c section with my first and am hoping to go into spontaneous labour before 40 weeks but as we all know, babies have their own ideas! And my consultant wants to book a c section the day before my due date, which I would prefer over an induction but wondering is it safe to leave it a few more weeks or not?

Hit me with your thoughts 🙏

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Baby due

My baby is due April 22 what should I put in my hospital bag
