Just need to let it out

So today is my birthday and I worked third shift. when my coworkers came in it was like 5 AM 6 AM so still today and none of them said happy birthday. I was like whatever you know we have a lot going on like I get it like we’re busy like and I just was like I was a little hurt but like I let it go. I’m not really someone who will go and be like hey it’s my birthday! I just didn’t really say anything and then a different coworker that wasn’t in until later on in the day texted our group chat, saying happy birthday to me and then everyone chimed in. I’m working third shift again so I’m here now and when I came in there was just a gift bag left in the office with a card for me and stuff and I don’t know… I’m kind of hurt. I’m not trying to be ungrateful, but it feels like they’re trying to play it off that they didn’t forget my birthday and I would rather they just own it and be like hey I’m sorry like I have a lot going on and it just slipped my mind because them pretending like they didn’t forget just makes it feel like they’re playing me for stupid. this isn’t like some big like job or anything like I just work at a gas station but we’re all pretty close so I think that’s also why it hurts and like I wasn’t expecting gifts or anything but like even just happy birthday you know. So I just feel insulted and hurt. I already have so much going on and they all already know this so I think they are worried about making me feel worse than I have been but them pretending does make me feel worse..

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 🤣

Early scan

Needed an early scan for peace of mind that everything is progressing well!
Not a great deal to see as everything is still so small but the heart beat was fluttering away 😍
Measuring 6+4

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

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 🤷🏻‍♀️)

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
