I didn't hear until week 38 and then only because I had to go to the maternity unit for an iron infusion. X

i got my c section date 3 weeks in advance, my midwife was actually the one who told me, i then found out a week later from the hospital

I got mine a week before, but that’s only due to finding out my baby had turned breech at 37 + 5 - so had to elect for a c-section late on x

I have been booked in for a phone call at 38 weeks and hopefully they book me in for a c section the following week x

Early scan

I only found out I was pregnant last Wednesday but it turns out I could be between 8-12 weeks gone 😬
I get to go for an early scan today so I’m super excited but I will also be on my own so I’m a bit nervous encase there’s anything wrong. Either way, I’m wishing myself luck 🍀

Chair for partner

I'm getting induced on Saturday and we live 30 minutes drive from the hospital and neither me or my partner drive. I do not expect my partner to sleep on that tiny shitty plastic chair they'll have for him while I'm on the ward being induced.
Do you think the hospital would let me bring a chair like this in for him?
I am terrified of staying there the night on my own :/
Or is this just really pathetic of me 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

Feeling ill

I’m 4 weeks post partum, had an emergency c section. Currently pumping and supplementing with formula but I just keep feeling underlying feeling of flu like symptoms, aching bones kind of thing. It never manifests into anything but I always just feel a bit unwell. I’m wondering if it’s the expressing that’s making me feel like this !? 🤔😫 Anyone else feel like this?

Exhausted!

Anyone else completely knackered?! I’m 34 weeks and have a 2 year old. I am exhausted. No energy to do anything anymore. I feel so guilty for my toddler because all i do is sit on the sofa.

How do I encourage my 7 week old to lift her head while on her front?

She’s actually really strong and can lift her head up well - she’ll do it for 2-3 minutes when she’s on me - but the second she’s on her playmat it’s like she can’t for more than a second anymore. I’ve tried using black and white cards but she just flops back down and rolls on her side to look 🤦🏼‍♀️ she’ll only lift her head if I put her on her arms, need advice for steps here
