I feel like a bad mom

My daughter is 18 months and she hasn’t slept through the night since she was like 4 months.. I’m constantly tired… I keep missing on activities cause they are all in the morning and I just can’t pull myself out of bed in the morning. I feel like I’m not a good mother to her cause of it. I’m constantly zoned out and out of it. My body feels so heavy. And I can’t help but feel so bad cause of it.

Wanting my tubes tied during C-section

I just wanted to hear others experience with this and the whole process really, I am in my first trimester but I know I don't want anymore children and I'm 27 (I'll be almost 28 when my youngest will be born).

Extra scans

Today I went in for a planned extra scan to check baby. My previous scan was done 3 weeks ago and they were measuring on the 27th percentile and weighing 4.1 and everything was looking good.

When I went in today baby is now measuring on the 75th percentile and it has only been 3 weeks and baby has gain nearly gain over 2 pounds.

Has anyone else had anyone this?

My husband and I did notice that the sonogram lady was measuring differently (trainee) to the ones who measured last time. Could the reading this time be inaccurate?

Is my baby too active

I’m 20 weeks this week and I also have an anterior placenta. I was told I wouldn’t feel anything till later. But I feel like my baby is already very active. I feel multiple kicks within a minute sometimes and they don’t feel like flutters. Is something wrong with my baby. Should I be worried ?

GTT at 38 weeks?

I've already done it once this pregnancy as a fasting blood test only but today I had a growth scan and in the last 4 weeks baby has gone from 44th to 76th centile and I have slightly increased fluid. They want me to repeat the GTT, however it's not booked until next Thursday by which point I'll be 38 weeks. I'm already down for an elective c-section so by the time they get the results and put anything into place I'll be near enough having the baby anyway. I just don't see why they're bothering this close? Like if it was a major concern surely they'd fit me in rather than let another whole week go by when I'm already at the end of pregnancy.

I'm going to call and ask them tomorrow to confirm if it's necessary and explain why. Happy to do it if they've got an actual reason rather than just because it's the done thing in this scenario but otherwise it's just a bit of a nuisance for everyone.

Contractions?

I have started having period pain cramping - that feeling when your period feels like it is starting. I have also had some sharp pains at the bottom of my bump. Are these likely to be contractions?
