Just found out

So I've just found out I'm pregnant, complete surprise and still in shock

My current worry is I'm at a hen do in 3 weeks and I'm maiden of honour in a wedding in september (would be around 24 weeks)...the dress has been bought and is NOT forgiving with corset style top (so tight around stomach). I'm already panicking about this and wondering when I should tell the bride..

Would you be okay with this?

Your daughter is 7 and her friend is turning 7. Friend has a sleepover for her bday (so obviously you’re not there and it’s supervised by her parents).
Afterwards your daughter tells you they’re now in a relationship and they kiss often in school (since the sleepover).

I’m not questioning if you’d be ok with the gay part obvs, but for context the friends parents are wlw too

They’re not my kids but I feel like I’d want a chat with the friend’s parents to find out if anything happened in that sleepover under their supervision, or am I dramatic and it’s fine?

General anaesthetic c section

Hello. I’m 39+3 and found out today my only option for giving birth is via a general anaesthetic c section due to my spinal injury and conditions.

I’m not great with hospitals as it is and have never had surgery so I’m really anxious about the whole thing, and finding it hard to process as I wanted a natural birth. Please can you tell me your positive experiences and tips for recovery?
Thank you x

Am I being dramatic

I posted a couple days ago about losing my plug throughout the day in big chucks and I had no contractions or tightenings just kept coming out. Since last night I haven’t been able to sleep because of nausea and pain in my stomach and back, I’ve gone to the toilet about 6 times, could this be my body clearing itself? I didn’t have any pain this morning but since i’ve been relaxing i’ve had tightenings right down in my pelvis, some painful some not. I’m 36+3 so have been advised by midwife to call if i have tightenings but i wouldn’t say they’re regular so I don’t know whether i just monitor it or call them? I hate calling and it turning out to be nothing 🙈 It’s my second pregnancy but was induced the first time round so I never experienced this!

Living in a top floor flat.

I live on the top floor flat and we dont have a lift, im worried about holding baby going up and down stairs and then going up and down with baby and shopping and washing. Does anyone eles lives on a top floor flat like me and have any ideas how I could cope with everything when baby is ere

I had a fall

I fell on my way to the GP! They examined me but emergency refused to see me and check on the baby because I am not bleeding. They wanted to Xray my leg which i refused as i feel it is minor. I am 17 weeks so not feeling movements yet and freaking out. I booked a private scan for Saturday but I am so worried something may happen to my baby.

C Section booking

Hello! Have any C Section mamas received their surgery date yet? Or know roughly how soon before they let you know your date? I’m due on the 15th but haven’t heard of when my section will be yet so was just hoping for some advice/previous experiences before I start chasing. I’m with Aneurin Bevan health board in south wales if that makes any difference 🙂
