He is underweight n small. The ultrasound pictures look like I was having a bigger baby 😏 far from the truth ugh.

I also had mine at 37 weeks. Measured in 50th percentile til 37 week scan and then had to have a csection. Completely normal healthy boy who refuses to sleep

Had to have a section at 37 weeks she was 9lb and lost 12% but I’ve managed to get her back to -8.1% by day 14 x
So I have genital herpes (super triggering for me as came from previous relationship) throughout my pregnancy so far I have had atleast 3 outbreaks, despite being on meds everyday to suppress it.
I also have endometriosis, pcos, fibromyalgia, and suffering with severe PGP. This is my first pregnancy.
My OB and I had a chat at 21 weeks about c section vs vaginal birth and he has said the choice is up to me. He provided me with all risks of c section and vaginal birth. I am so torn.
My main concern is if I plan for a vaginal birth, I will likely have to have an emergency c section if I have a herpes outbreak during or around labour/due date. Which feels likely, as i will be stressed. My other concern is if I am able go vaginal birth, with the soreness down there plus a possible outbreak I wont be able to cope with the pain and irritation down there.
With c section obviously big concern is its major surgery whilst being awake, and the recovery time is more. I already am suffering with severe pelvic girdle pain, so will a csection make it worse? Will i be able to comfortable breastfeeding baby or will we need to look at combi feeding or formula?
Had anyone on here been in my position? What did you do? Any advice?

Hi ladies ❤️ I’m 13 weeks pregnant and have had a mild pain on the right side of my abdomen since yesterday. It comes and goes, even when resting, and I also notice it when walking, bending or taking a deep breath. Has anyone experienced anything similar? I am a bit worried and honestly don’t know what to do.

I know you don’t have to and midwives have seen it all but it be a personal preference if anyone be seeing down there. However 35 weeks worth of baby bump be blocking my view and I feel like I can barely reach at this point. How are you girlies finding it because the patch work look is not for me and some places I feel like imma throw my back out just to reach 😅

I’m 41+1 today and still only 1cm dilated, I’ve tried everything to get this baby out of here. I have an induction booked for 41+5 but would rather go into spontaneous labour! Does anyone have any similar stories of not needing the induction at around the same time or anything that worked for them?
