Trying to bring c section forward due to PSTD and anxiety

Has anyone successfully done this? My first son was born via emergency c section and then he had to have multiple operations in his first year of life, plus he has chronic illnesses now so it’s all a bit much. I said I wasn’t having anymore children but had a drunken accident one night and here we are.

My section is booked for almost 40w exactly and I want to bring it forward. I’m constantly up MAU, paying for private scans and making myself throw up with anxiety. Nobody quite understands until you’ve had a traumatic birth, nearly 💀and then had a really ill baby.

I’ve requested to bring it forward to 39w exactly and the midwife thinks due to my mental health history it’s the best idea. I suppose it’s down to the theatre team now 😭

Help??

Has anyone had this before? Had a scan today due to brown spotting. The little baby at the top is healthy, nice heartbeat.. measuring 5 weeks 5 days. There is another 'nub' at the bottom. Could be vanishing twin? Has anyone seen this before?

Change in movements?

Has anyone noticed their babies movements feel weaker? As there is less space?? Don’t know if I’m over thinking it

Sticky eye or conjunctivitis?

My newborns eye has been coming out with discharge since birth some days are worse than other and some days nothing comes out at all.

5 month old leg bouncing

Does anyone else’s baby do this constantly? Whenever he’s flat on his back his leg is constantly flapping, it used to be both legs (sometimes still is) but now he’s moved onto just one leg 😂
