Called to reschedule C section

I got C section appointment booked at 38 weeks due to gestational diabetes, macrosomnia (baby measuring 99 centile on multiple scans), my own heart problem and polyhidroamnios.

I got a call today saying that they need to reschedule my appointment later and didn’t give me a reason.
When I said I am on my own and my husband had to request days off on that specific dates, receptionist said that they have reviewed my case with obstetric team and are not going to move it….

Who makes decisions on that to just call and try to reschedule?

I am now really worried they will try to reschedule again or if I come in on a day and they rebook me.
I am only few days from scheduled appointment.

Anyone else had this happening!

Just a mum, bawling her eyes out in Disneyland that her baby grew up 😭

My girl turned 4 this week and we surprised her with Disney and she met Elsa and Anna.

Immediately, I was in tears blubbing like a baby! When did she get so grown up? When did she get so tall? I watched her have little secret conversations with the princesses and I couldn’t stop the chin wobbling.

How did our babies get so big? I swear I just blinked and she went from baby to preschooler 🥹

Anyone else still super emotional these days over the kids?

My ADHD brain couldn't remember the name for snails

So I called them gastropods, which is technically correct. This happened one time now my son (3yo) only calls them astropods.

Anterior placenta, previous c section

I’m 15 weeks and have an anterior placenta. I’ve been told that monitoring of my placenta won’t really start until my 20 week scan. So I don’t know yet if it is close to my scar. But am already quite worried. My previous c section was also emergency, not sure if that also increases my chances of risks. Does anyone have any experience of having an anterior placenta and previous c section, and it being okay? TIA x

Is anyone else wildly shocked at how many pregnancies are being sent for growth scans/ inductions/ even sections based on an archaic measuring system 😵‍💫

The fundal measurement is massively outdated and nuanced. And scans can’t accurately predict weights either. Yet we’re sending women spiralling down anxiety ridden rabbit holes and unnecessarily inducing them or even resorting to surgery! My mind in blown!
Luckily all the midwives I’ve seen are very pragmatic.

Baby measuring small at 34 weeks

I just have come out of the midwife appointment who said that the baby is measuring small for dates at 34 weeks based on the tape measurements. I have attached a screenshot of how the grow chart looks currently. I was booked for a growth scan on Monday. Did someone else had this and then everything appeared well on the scan?She also mentioned something that I might have Polyhydramnios which is excess of amniotic fluid. 🤔

Movements

I’m 39 weeks and feels like babies movements are ‘softer’ I can feel him move but it’s not as quick and firm as previously maybe because he is bigger and has less space ! Anyone else ?
