Induction
Hi there I was just wondering I was induced with my first pregnancy 2 weeks early for her being too small/growth is it possible to request an induction again just for planning reasons or is it possible since I was induced before it will be the same case again anyways with my 2nd.

You can request an early induction but they’re typically only done for medical reasons, not because you want to plan. If you reach 39/40 weeks and you want an induction they’ll likely be more inclined to say yes (rather than early).
If this baby is also measuring small they may induce again, they will likely monitor you closer this time round because of your first. It’s something worth mentioning to your midwife!
I had one booked about 10 days before my due date because of anxiety, but then I ended up having my first born 3 weeks early

Calling in sick from work
Please someone reassure me it is okay to do this as I can’t stop myself feeling guilty. I’ve called in sick today from work as I’m burnt out, exhausted and not feeling great. Also my mental health has been shocking. I’m 19 weeks pregnant with a 17 month old and never get the chance to just do nothing or rest. All my holiday had to be used before I returned to work or I wouldn’t have been paid so I don’t have any holiday to take now, calling in sicks my only choice. It doesn’t help either that last week I was REALLY struggling with my mental health and had 2 breakdowns at work then as I was leaving on the last day a colleague fell out with me, threatened to discuss it with a manager and I left in floods of tears in a bad way. I’ve not been back since and am dreading returning. Annoyingly though I’ve slept this morning after dropping my lo to nursery and I feel no more energised for it🤦🏼♀️

Uterine polyps
😭 so I've had non stop heavy uterine bleeding for the last 4 months. I've had two ultrasounds which seem to suggest that I have a uterine polyp but they can't be sure, doesn't look like it's anything worse.
I've now been referred to gynaecology and having just chased my appointment as per the NHS app instructions been told the wait time to be seen is 12-18 months 😢
Firstly I'm scared that it is something bad and leaving it this long is not a good idea, and secondly my daughter has just turned 1 and because of my age (almost 40) we were hoping to start trying for a second next year.
I can't afford to go private at this time as it can cost up to £4500 for the procedure I'm expecting to have.
Has anyone had the same? Have any of you got pregnant with a polyp and it's been ok?
I'm so worried that I get pregnant again and lose the baby, or it causes complications for me (I don't want to leave my LG 🙏🏼💔) or that I bleed my whole pregnancy and I'm constantly anxious something is wrong.
My GP has said she doesn't think there would be any issues trying again now that I'm 12 months post c section.
My LG was born via emergency c section under general anaesthetic at 35 weeks because I had maternal sepsis so my anxiety in another pregnancy will be high anyway.
