High risk

I’m considered high risk because I was fully dilated when I had an emergency C-section with my first and there’s risks I could go into pre term labour so I have cervical length scans every 2 weeks between 16-22/24 and I’m aloud to try for a vbac if I go into spontaneous labour by 40 weeks but I’ll have a planned C-section booked for week 40 ( which I’m really hoping doesn’t happen )Just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences I’m just very overwhelmed and hoping people have maybe had a good successful full term pregnancy & birth despite what IVE previously mentioned x

Hey, I had a c section at full dilation and was referred to the pre term birth clinic. I wasn’t at increased risk from the scans, and carried my baby to full term. You are at increased risk of pre term birth, but it’s 16 per cent instead of 2 percent. That means you have an 84 percent chance of carrying to term ❤️

Hi, I also had an emergency section at full dilation and went on to have a healthy pregnancy and birth 13 months later, although I had a scheduled section because I didn't want to go into labour. All scans were fine for me too. The likelihood is that everything will be fine but they can monitor you if it's not x

Name crisis

I was so decided on a name, now I'm having second thoughts. It's not a standard name and his middle name is set after my Dad, John. He's very traditional and I know he'll hate the first name I chose! Open to any ideas! I would love if the initials sounded right too! Again, middle name "John". Thank you ladies!! 😭💟

Growth Scan

I have a growth scan today because my fundal height measurement has stayed the same at 29cm from when I was 28+5 weeks. Now I'm 32+3. Has anyone else experienced this? It has made my growth chart go from just under 90th percentile to under 10th.

Which induction method??

Im at the hospital now for induction and dont know which method to go for.
I initially didnt want the balloon because the sweeps really hurt me and I feel it will be most uncomfortable but seems like the highest success rate? And no hormones.

What has everyone else done and recommend?

Growth spurt?

At 32 weeks lg measured at 6th centile. Today, 34 weeks she measures 28th centile. I was so certain these things doesn't happen so late in pregnancy? Another scan at 36 weeks. Midwife said It could be undermeasure at 32 weeks, overmeasure today or *ust right and we will see where she plots in two weeks time. 🤷🏼‍♀️

How are all you working mums making all of your appointments ?

I'm fortunate to currently be a stay at home mum, I was going back into work when my 3 year old turned 4 and started primary school reception but I'm 20 weeks pregnant so that is hold once again for now.

It's made me wonder how working mums are getting to any of these appointments that get booked in on random weekday afternoons?!

I've been under a pre-term consultant until being discharged last week, also have gestational diabetes so under consultant care with this, as well as having normal scans and midwife appointments. All of these I can be sat in the hospital waiting room around 2-3 hours to be called in and seen. How is it even manageable to have this much time off and away from work to attend all of this? I'm averaging 2 appointments per week currently upto half a day spent at the hospital each time it just seems impossible to fit in around a normal job.

Today for example I have to travel to the hospital for a 2pm appointment and after waiting and travelling home I'll not be back until around 4pm and then tomorrow I have an 11:40am diabetic appointment and then a scan at 2pm so I'll be stuck in that waiting room for a good 3 hours
