Baby has really started movin' and groovin'

I was 31 weeks on Wednesday (last growth scan measured me 2 days ahead but I don't know if I still keep my original dates?)

Anyyyyways, I've really noticed an uptick in baby's movement - not necessarily that she's moving more but she's suddenly had a growth spurt ๐Ÿ˜‚ I can press lightly on my tummy and feel her feet and she responds to me by kicking. The movement at night when I'm asleep is also becoming much more noticeable and even just watching my stomach I'm visibly seeing movement that I might not necessarily feel, kind of like she's really close to the surface ๐Ÿ˜‚ it's absolutely wild!!

I'm literally in awe everytime I feel her

Yeah Iโ€™ve noticed over the last few days that baby girl is moving so much more. We went for a growth scan yesterday and it was really funny seeing how big she is and how little room she has left to move - pretty sure thatโ€™s why I can feel her more now ๐Ÿ˜‚.
Sometimes if I have my arm resting across my belly she kicks it and everything moves so much itโ€™s wild ๐Ÿ˜‚.

HELP!

iโ€™m currently 37 weeks pregnant! i was meant to have a scan on Tuesday as i have high blood pressure meaning i have a scheduled c section booked in for 39+3 (27th of April) however i arrived at my appointment 10 mins late as there was really bad traffic (and i live an hour away as it from the hospital) so we had to reschedule. they called me today and said they have rescheduled it for the 20th of April at 8am. only issue is this is only 1 week exactly before my planned c section. and this scan was to see if we needed to move the date forward due to my blood pressure continuing to increase so having a scan at 38+3 just seems a bit pointless. also if my blood pressure is high it means there could be more complications in my C section such as higher chance of bleeding out so iโ€™d need to take blood pressure tablets but im worried a week isnโ€™t enough time to sort my blood pressure out and i donโ€™t know what to do.

Has your baby rolled over yet?

If yes, are they doing it tummy to back or back to tummy? Do you do tummy time with them and for how long?

I know itโ€™s different for each babies but Iโ€™m trying to understand if doing more tummy time actually helps or not. Thanks!

Is Margot too โ€˜trendyโ€™?

Our sons have classic names and my husband loves Margot but I feel like itโ€™s too popular at the moment

Pressure

I know lots of people have been asking stuff about signs of labour.
Last night I woke up at 1am with a heavy feeling of pressure quite low down. It hasn't subsided this morning and i just constantly feel like i need a wee. Is this a sign of anything or am i clinging at straws? I'm now 40+5 and desperately don't want to be induced

Glucose tolerance test

So I have my glucose test today but I also have emetophobia [fear of vomit and throwing up] so Iโ€™m wondering if there is any ways to reduce that nausea so I donโ€™t traumatise myself
