Babies born before may due date!?

Any babies born before their due date?
My girl was due May 4 and she was born March 29 5lb 15oz 🎀 stayed in the hospital for 20 days (birth trauma was a B****)
But heres a pic of my little early bird

True or false? 💙🩷

My first pregnancy I had a boy, no symptoms at all wouldn't have even known that I was pregnant. I am now 6 weeks pregnant with my second and oh my goodness I feel so rough, so tired, so drained, sick and headaches.

Is it true or have others experienced where symptoms have been different or worse due to gender? 🩷💙

Never ending appointments

Anyone else sick of getting new appointments 😅

Currently 32+6
- had a midwife appointment today
- 33+6 Fetal medicine scan & consultant
- 35+1 normal scan & consultant
- 36+6 midwife

Dates TBC;
- 2x steroid appointments
- Pre op appointment
- Anaesthesiologist appointment

- HIGHLY likely to be another scan & consultant between 35 weeks and 37 weeks

And I’m due to have babies between 37+0 - 38+0

That’s 4-5 weeks with 10 appointments that I know of 😓 more could be added 🤦🏼‍♀️ I can barely drive at this point yet I’m none stop back and forward

Weaker baby’s movements

Hi everyone,

I’m currently 38+6 (first pregnancy, low risk, baby measures at 70th percentile.

Over the last few days I’ve noticed my baby’s movements feel weaker and less frequent than usual (still there, just different). I’ve also been having period-like cramps, mostly at night or early morning, but otherwise I feel fine.

I went to triage and had a CTG – everything looked reassuring and I felt around 4–5 movements in 25 minutes (however they still felt weaker).

The doctor said it could be because baby is now very low, so movements feel different, but also mentioned a small risk that baby might not be 100% well. Because of that, I’ve been offered an induction.

I initially declined as I was a bit overwhelmed, but now I’m unsure what to do.

Has anyone experienced reduced/weaker movements at this stage with a normal CTG? Did you go ahead with induction or wait? Would really appreciate hearing your experiences

Wedding entrance

So I’m not sure if this is an American custom making its way across the pond, but does anyone else find those elaborate wedding reception entrances with songs and dances and all that, just a bit tacky?

Scottish Names living in Canada

Slightly unique ask here… Scottish girl living in Canada. Would love a nod to babies Scottish heritage in the their name. Pretty set on a girls name. We’re undecided on a boys name. My husband thinks people will pronounce Ruairidh (Roo-Ree) as Rory in North America. He is nervous people will automatically call Harris - Harry!? Open to any other suggestions.
