So I'll be 33 weeks in three days and I have dropped soooo low I had an ultrasound today and they had such a hard time with it from how low she is. I go pretty much every week from here on out because I have HG really bad so I'm under extra watch because they thought it was going to end up hurting my baby turns out she's actually great and weights a little more then the average at this point and is super tall lol. I'll be 37 weeks July 2end but my ob told me to take it easy the next couple weeks she doesn't think I'm gonna go past 38 weeks she said goal is to make it through June ☠️ butttt during my scans today they did do the breathing test and stuff and said she is doing really really good so if she happens to come before July that I shouldn't worry much sense she's already passing all there test and stuff. So um guess I'm going to go pack our hospital bags this week just in case lol

Another May baby!

Little man made his entrance a few days earlier than planned via cat 3 section because of GD causing placenta issues. He’s been hanging out on a blue light bed for a few days but seems to be much better now and jaundice has cleared. I know lots of people have worries about not expressing colostrum beforehand and I did too- I went into this having failed to express anything and a lot of reasons why my baby would need it. The second he was born I was able to express what he needed for his sugars and he’s been ebf since without an issue. Excited to see the rest of the babies make their appearances!!

Does anyone else sleep for like 8-9 hours and still feel like they need to sleep more?

Cause I do 😭 Every time I wake up, I feel so tired still

C section

Hi! I’ve got a c section booked for the end of this month, does anyone have any tips/tricks? It’ll be my first baby and first surgery x

Movement

Im 28 weeks pregnant currently.
Today ive being triage due to continued reduced movement.. They've monitored me and checked heartbeat etc says everything is fine. Waiting on an appointment for scan which should be in 48/72 hours but got to go hospital everyday up until scan... Has anyone else experienced this... Is this normal

Naturally inducing labour?

I know lots of people have posted about this already but I needed to make my own because I’m low key freaking out.
I just saw the consultant, she said everything is looking great except my blood pressure is a little high and my BMI is high. She said that I need to go to a day assessment clinic once a week to be monitored for my blood pressure and to keep an eye on any swelling etc.
She also says she advises I be induced between 39 and 40 weeks.

What old wives tales can I try to make sure I don’t need the induction? 🙃
Any other advice?

(I know everyone says “just say no” but if it’s medically necessary I don’t feel like I should say no 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Postpartum bleeding

Hi guys, I gave birth Friday at 5:58am and my postpartum bleeding is already incredibly light. This is my second baby and I can’t remember how long I bled for with my first to be honest (heavy wise) but I feel like it’s really light really quickly? And I don’t know if that’s normal or anyone else has had the same.
Im still wearing pads etc because bleeding is definitely still there but it’s like a mild period.
