She’s here!!

A bit of a late one but she was due 11th of June but baby Evangeline made her appearance on 30th May!
I had been contracting for days on end with no real pattern, on the 30th I went back into triage with reduced movement and tightenings and she didn’t meet criteria and wasn’t improving so they decided to deliver her via emergency c section that same day. I actually went into labour whilst waiting to go into theatre and was having contractions 2 minutes apart and they gave me the choice to try labour and deliver naturally or have a section, they told me I had a over 50% chance that I’d need a section anyway so for baby girls safety I went ahead with a section.
I had been hoping for a vbac this time round as my little boy was also an emergency section but this c section was so healing from last time. I was able to be awake to hear her first cry and hold her straight away, it was such a beautiful experience 💕
Welcome to the world Evangeline 💖

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!

Normal bleeding ?

Had C section 15th of May and stopped bleeding 2 weeks after but then it’s started again but it’s starting and stopping and was a dark brown until today and now it’s kinda went a pinky red colour I don’t remember this happening with my first section and I’ve been to the doctors twice now and they keep saying it’s fine but can’t tell me why it’s happening
