Scheduled cesarean

I got a call today from my dr wanting to discuss my ultrasound. She told me my baby is already measuring in the 90th percentile and she’s a big baby. (I’m only 27 weeks tomorrow) She told me that once I get a little further I’ll need a growth scan so I’ll then know if I’m able to deliver naturally.
My first daughter I had naturally and I loved my experience. My son I had to have an emergency cesarean due to hospital negligence and I feel completely robbed of my special day and still deal with trauma from it. This is my last baby, and I planned on having her naturally until today, when they told me I may not be able to due to her size. I’m really bummed about the idea of not being able to have her naturally. Maybe it’s because of the trauma from my last experience and feeling robbed of it all. I was the last one to hold my son after he was born. I don’t remember most of it and the worst part is I have mentally checked out from it to the point I can’t tell you how much he weighed, how long he was or even what time he was born. It just makes me sad to even think about it. Not to mention the recovery is absolute hell.
I don’t know much about the actual process of a scheduled caesarean. If someone could shed a little light in hopes it’ll help me prepare myself mentally, it would be really appreciated.

Would you let your six year old go to a pool party?

My daughter’s swim class offers pool parties with a lifeguard included and parents are (of course) going to be required to stay. With all that said, would you let your child attend or do you think a pool party is more for older children?

Thanks!!!

Obsessing a bit over milestones/ rolling?

I’m a FTM to a baby who will be 5 months next week, he’s rolled from front to back a couple of times one day about a week ago but hasn’t managed to do it again and not rolling from back to front yet or holding his feet. I know every baby goes at their own pace and sometimes social media is the worst as you see videos that make you overthink but was wondering if anyone else is worrying about the same/ whether this is really common at his stage?

anterior placenta

I’m pregnant with my second and had my first scan today, baby was wiggling around a lot but everything is looking good. They said I had an anterior placenta, can anyone tell me their experience with one?

Nicu day 10

Today marks 10 days in the nicu for my sweet girl.. she was born at 32 weeks and 4 days with no explanation as to why. She is now off of oxygen and IVs, next to successfully regulate her temperature and come out of the isolette 🤞

Boy Names (that I may not hate)

I am currently expecting baby #5, I have three girls and a boy... Leira, Mara, Waverly, and Michael. My boy is named after his father, my girls all have names that are after women I view as strong female characters. We found out baby is antoher boy and I am finding I hate 99% of boys names, and the names I do like my other half doesn't. 😂 I'm looking for suggestions from the masses at this point because I am sick of reading lists from Google. 😂

He is Italian and I am a mix of Celtic/British/Scandinavian so I am open to names from these cultures as well.
