I'm having my baby in 7 weeks instead of 11!

So I went for my extra growth scan today because I had a fully covering placenta previa plus a 98th percentile boy. Placenta had not moved what so ever, it's like a lid over my cervix, so they told me it will be a c section at week 36. Baby is still massive - 97th percentile this time, so they suspect I either are growing a greek God in there or I'm having gestational diabetes. But it speak against diabetes because he's been big the whole time.. anyone else going through anything similar?

Also... I'm loosing a month of waiting! Baby were supposed to come end of June and now coming end of May! I got SO MUCH TO DO! 😅 I'm stressed, relieved and excited all at once!

Hi, yes I also have full placenta previa major! Been told the same I will be having a c section between 36-37 weeks so 6-7 weeks to go for me.. My girl is 70th centile at last scan at 28 weeks.

What advise have you been given around the previa? Hope you're doing ok!

It’s almost a blessing that he’s a big boy with him having to come early!!😆 I also have a 97th percentile boy, he’s nearing 5lbs already. Hoping that means I get my section booked in soon lol x

Jealous! I’ve got to wait till between 37-38 weeks and I’ve got 2 big ass boys in there 😅

Yess! I get asked at every appointment if I’ve definitely had my GTT because they’re so dam big 🤣

Frustration

Is it just me or is anyone else getting really frustrated at people asking "you had the baby yet?" And I get that sometimes it's out of a place of love but at the same time I just want to be left alone and I will say something when I'm ready to share that I've had my baby

When did you tell work you were pregnant?

I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant and starting to feel like I should tell my manager soon… but I’m really anxious about it.

I’m worried that as soon as I say something, I’ll be treated differently or even a bit isolated at work.

How did it go for you? When did you tell your employer, and did anything change afterwards?

How are you feeling?

I was asked today if I'm anxious about the birth. I'm too tired to be anxious. I'm too tired for anything really.

Overthinking

I'm a first time mum and pregnancy is going well I'm currently 25 + 1 day but I can not stop overthinking bad things!!
