Given I have to be at the hospital at 7am and not allowed to eat past midnight. When should I expect my C-Section to happen?

Is my craving weird?

Just tried to explain to my husband and mother why mango and smoked paprika is amazing but they’ve both said that’s weird!

What is happening to me 33weeks pregnant

For the past 3 weeks my poo has been quite soft and much more smelly than normal, I have constantly been suffering with eggy burps and severe tummy ache almost like trapped gas. Any advice on what to do thank you .

4D scan 🩷

My daughter is so excited to be a big sister so I thought she’d like to see her on the screen.

Little lady was very difficult yesterday 😂 she kept facing away, and when she did face towards us she either kept a hand up to her face or pushed right into my uterine wall 🤦🏼‍♀️ so she had a squished nose.
But, they did rescan me 30mins after my initial one to try and get better photos.
It was cute seeing her feet crossed over.

I did go back to Window to the Womb again to see if they’d be better this time and they were much more friendly.
When I went for an early scan, they were not good but I believe in 2nd chances.

Did you have less midwife appointments with your 2nd pregnancy?

The last midwife appointment I had was back in March (I think) and then I was told by the midwife that I wouldn't be seen until I am 28 weeks, I believe I was 14 or 15 weeks at the time. I do have an appointment for June 22, however I just have some concerns. I told the midwife in March that I want a VBAC and she told me I need to have a consultation at the hospital when I am 28 weeks, she also said I need my RSV jab and whooping cough by 28 weeks. On top of that I need an appointment for my glucose test because diabetes runs in my family. I haven't received word on any of that, I also don't have an assigned midwife as mine left to go work in the hospitals. Already I have had to reach out to the midwife number because the midwife I saw had my due date wrong and that took me 5-6 days to get an answer back to get it fixed. Just worried about having to do everything all at once and it being too much and overwhelming... As no one would want to have to do the RSV jab, whooping cough and glucose test all within the same week or two. Just wondering if this is normal?

Big baby and c sec recommendation

I am 38 weeks pregnant, had my GD at 28 weeks when I didn’t have diabeties. At 33 weeks did it again and GD was borderline. From then I am very controlled on diet but baby is 98 centile and weighs 3.3kg at 37 weeks scan with most of the weight around Abdominal circumference. Doctors are recommending c section at 39 weeks. It’s very disappointing as I was prepping myself for normal delivery. I am 5.1 and petite so doctors are saying there are chances of high grade tearing and also epiostomy. I also have an option for getting induction at 39 weeks which I am not sure about manual induction. Opinions please if anyone else has experienced the same problems. I am just unsure what to do
