When is ‘too’ early?

29 weeks on Friday and I’m waiting for a scan at 32 weeks on the 30th of April to see if my low lying placenta has moved, if not it’s looking likely I’ll need a C section. But in most cases, placenta will move! However, I’ve just put my first load of baby washing on🫣I couldn’t resist! Is it too early?

Can’t decide between vbac or section

I am so unbelievably torn between how I want to give birth. I just cant decide, I’m only 26 weeks so I know I’ve got time but I feel like I don’t🙈I’ve written pros and cons for both and it hasn’t helped attal! My first birth was via elective c section through maternal choice and it went well and I healed well. Can anyone shed any light and help me out 😩

I’m crazy.

My husband left his phone in the living room last night so when I got up this morning to make our coffee I was trying to be a lil nosey… I know it’s a huge possibility it’s just a spam thing but like I did not want to see another bitches name on my man’s phone this morning.. 😅

Trapped wind after C-section

Ladies I had a C-section a week ago and I am in agony with trapped wind. Helpful tips would be greatly appreciated ♥️

Health

Going incognito mostly because I am actually embarrassed 😂
I need to start being more active, I used to be so on the go but now I have zero motivation and no energy.
I have type 2 diabetes and I am trying to reverse it before it gets worse, my diet and exercise is horrendous as I just go for quick and easy, I do need to start really prepping food, I have tried calorie counting but end up getting stressed and just giving up and exercise wise I need someone to give me a push and hold me accountable in doing it but my partner is not the best with helping with things like this as he eats like a child and is physically active in work so when he gets home he doesn’t want to work out.
I need help, I was recently told my cholesterol and stuff are high and my diabetes has gone worse since having the baby and having a lot of meds stopped.

Did you follow all of the guidelines after having a baby?

If no what did you not follow?

I also get its survivor bias so I’m not saying I was right to do these things.

1. My babies all slept with blanket/comforter from early on. They also all were sleeping through from an early age.

2. I had a bath a couple of days after my c section.

I’m sure there were more but these two are the ones that stand out 🫣

Further scans/labour induction

Hi All, I am 37 weeks and 4days pregnant. I have no signs of labour yet. The last scan was at 34weeks and the midwife suggested that no further scans are required.

My question is - Do I have to reach out to the hospital closer to the date or will they get in touch with me ?

Thanks in advance.
