Walking

Does the walking actually help?
I'm due in 2 days and I'm in so much pain but I was going to go on a long walk to try help get things going/moving.
Is there any point? Or am I just putting myself in more pain for no reason?
As of right now I'm barely having any braxton hicks, no mucus plug loss and no other 'signs' other than some on and off period like cramps (dull aches in the bottom of my tummy) over last few days.
Feeling really disheartened, I just want to squish my baby 🥲 x

Baby 2 - nhs appointments

I had an emergency c-section with baby 1. So im assuming now with baby 2 ill be high risk and consultant led. I know a previous c-section increases your risk of miscarriage so is there anyway to make sure my booking appointment is after my 12 week scan? I dont want to waste time on it for a non-viable pregnancy. Can I just ask for a date thats after my scan?

Im also assuming that im going to be told that I have to be consultant led, cannot labout at all at home and continous monitoring the whole time. I feel like with that there is almost no point in trying for a vbac because thats going to end with my failing again and another emergency c-section.

Anti-d mommas

Did you have the anti d injection before and after birth? Just asking as I’m rhesus negative so I had the injection during pregnancy but didn’t have it when my little one was born does anyone have any similar experiences?

Disappointed

Had my anatomy scan today, I laid on that bed for an hour and 15 minutes and the tech didn’t say one word to me we didn’t get to listen to his heartbeat and we didn’t even get to see him 😔 I got in the car and just started crying my eyes out. This is nothing like my first pregnancy. I havnt seen him since my first appointment….. my heart is broken rn.
