What week are you scheduled/did you make it to?

Currently 29 weeks pregnant with complete placenta previa major posterior, category 4 the most severe. Due to location they don't expect it to move at all.

Been advised at my consultant appointment today they wont leave it longer than 37 weeks for c section, looking like it'll be at around 36+2/3days for me as they have availability with an experienced consultant with previa available that week they would prefer me to have my section with.

Hoping we make it as long as possible šŸ™šŸ»

How long did you make it to? Did you make it to your scheduled date or was it emergency due to a bleed?

Those being scheduled - what week are being booked in for?

Feeling very anxious at having a preterm baby, bleeding at any point and ending up having an emergency section even earlier, and consultant also explained the possibility of a hysterectomy at section if the bleeding is too much. A lot to digest.

I had my scan today and also have the same. They will schedule me for 37 weeks because of the risks of leaving it longer. The chances of a hysterectomy are very low. I am currently at 34+ 4 and no bleeding or any other symptoms for now but they say preterm labour is common with placenta previa.

Pregnancy anxiety

Hello, I know that this is the best place to post because more than likely everyone has gone through this. I am 22 weeks pregnant and I am so anxious. I know there is a small chance but I constantly have in the back of mind that there is a chance of loss until 24 weeks or if not that, that the baby can live outside the womb from 24 weeks. I want her to stay in there until the end (as we all do) and I am sure everything is going to be fine but how do I silence these worries? It’s just constantly in my mind.

Overthinking ?!!

My belly feels so strange today! I’m 33 weeks and it feels so hard and heavy. I also haven’t felt baby move much today but he’s normally more active on the night !
I’m not sure whether it’s due to being so hot I haven’t noticed him or whether I should wait and see if he’s active in a few hours?
Has anyone had this ?

Hunger spike

Am I only one who noticed that they had a random spike in hunger at the end of the second trimester just going into the third or is it just me? Because I am eating more than I did in my first or second trimester combined

BF mums

Hello BF mums, how long do you plan on BF for? I don’t feel ready to stop and I love the bond it creates between me and my son. However, WHY are people so judgmental about something so natural? Trying to make me feel as I’m not doing me or my child a favour….

Even a doctor made a comment!
