Abnormal Ultrasounds

So my 11 week ultrasound flagged some major concerns. My son has fluid edema around his head. OB was concerned about Downs, heart failure or anemia. My genetic testing all came back low risk, which was encouraging. But at my 13 week follow, tbe fluid is still there and is pretty substantial at 1cm. I am being referred to MFM. But beyond genetic/chromosomal defects like trisomies, my OB has speculated omphalacele or gastroschisis. This would mean having to travel to a city 1.5 hours away for a csection and immediate surgery for the baby, long with weeks in NICU away from home and my toddler. Outcomes are generally good for baby. But nothing is know definitively right now. The weeks of uncertainty have been unbearable. This is all also following a miscarriage earlier this year. Any advice or anyone with experience who wants to comment is appreciated. My husband and i are at a loss and beyond stressed and worried.

Due date

Has anyone had their baby around the 37 week mark? If so, was everything ok with you and baby? Was baby still a healthy weight?

I’m asking because my due date is July 18th but everyone keeps saying I’ll go earlier than that. This is my second baby and I was just curious :)

Partner and baby moving

Just wondering if anyone else’s partner is like this.
Every time I say the baby is moving and want him to look or feel he’s so distant. He says he just doesn’t understand the fascination, as it’s not in him.

He’s been amazing in terms of how he sees his job as caring for me. Which he does, but he doesn’t seem as phased as I am about baby moving. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Am I reading into this too much? I’m almost 25 weeks.

Elective C Section

For those of you having elective C sections, how far in advance did you get your dates and how? Was it a phone call/text message or just an appointment on badger notes?

Also bonus if it’s the Somerset area!
