32 week scan and my baby’s growth is accelerated and he is “LARGE”

At this rate he’ll hit 40 weeks growth by July 19 😬 measuring in the 99 percentile and weighs 5lbs 8oz. He’s been big this entire time. Anyone else have a big baby? I had my scan done at maternal fetal medicine so haven’t talked to my OB yet and what this could mean for my delivery and due date!
My first baby was 8lb so wondering if this baby may be closer to 9lb but we’ll see! Follow up in 4 weeks .

C Section Advice

Hi! Our baby is breech, and we just tried an ECV which was unsuccessful at 37 weeks. Our c section is scheduled for June 25. Moms who have had c sections- how can I prepare? Should I get a binder for afterwards? Any tips on how to best care for myself and baby would be so appreciated!

Overhang above C-section scar

Can anyone give me tips on how to get rid of overhang? I had an emergency C-section 23 weeks ago.

Terrified of ripping down there..

I’m considering a C-section for a few reasons including PGP. But amongst a few of the major reasons are i’m afraid of ripping or messing up my vagina. I’ve heard some women say months after birth they’re still scared to look down there or that they took a mirror and looked one day and had a major jump scare 😰😱 It’s just the extra healing time, the complications i would have with post surgery pain management from medication i’m already on, and the added risk of a major surgery, plus a lot of benefits i would lose for myself and baby by not having a natural birth.. Does anyone have anything to add? 🙏

Do you like driving when it’s dark?

When I was much younger, I loved late night drives. But as I’ve gotten older, I can barely see lol that 20/20 bison suddenly left me lol and I just hate driving at night now. Now, I just let my man do all the driving 😂.

Do yall feel the same or you love driving at night?

I think I may be pregnant.

So, I've been experiencing a lot of pregnancy symptoms for the past 3 weeks or so. I took 2 pregnancy tests, and they were both negative. So I don't know what to think. But Chatgpt said it was two soon for the tests. So I don't know. I'm just confused and have a lot of mixed emotions. My best friend thinks I am pregnant, however. I'm getting all the symptoms I got when I was pregnant with my son, tho. But I think I'd just wait for my cycle, and if it doesn't come, that'll let me know if I am. What do you think, tho?
