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!!

IT'S MA MF BIRTHDAY 🥳

Comment a picture & I'll guess your age!!

im bored 🤣

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 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Midwife appointment - left in doubt

I’m 37weeks today, got protein in my urine, had headaches again the past few days which I do now, , severe nausea and keep seeing ‘stars’ on and off/visual disturbances. My blood pressure was 135/91 and then 118/74. The midwife I see took bloods but that was all, allowed me home. I’d of thought they would’ve sent me to triage to be monitored surely?

Babies heart rate was 145-167 again, same as last week.

Should I call them myself or just leave it? T
