Opinions

Is it just me or is it really weird for women who haven’t had children yet to talk down on women who have or to even talk down on women who aspire to have children??🤔 Like for them to comment on what should or shouldn’t be done during pregnancy or to comment on the limitations of pregnancy

Re-ultrasound

Did anyone attend their 20 week scan and end up going for a second scan? I’ve been send to the maternity day assessment unit for a 2nd scan 3 weeks after my original they told me everything was fine just to re check his heart as he was in an awkward position. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

5 Months PP- How to Rid of Shelf?

Hello, hello!
I'm 5 months post-partum and have not been doing any of my usual pre-pregnancy workouts. I used to do calorie deficit and weight train, but since I pump and breastfeed, I can't do the calorie deficit without dipping my milk supply and I don't feel ready to weight train because just lifting a tote box for moving had me feeling sore inside the section. But ya'll!! Are there other ways to get rid of that shelf on top of the scar? I've always had a little pooch to begin with but after the C Section it has been more prominent. Let me know what regimen helped you.
*This should go without saying but please be kind in the comments* Thank you 😊

What percentile would this be (red dot)? Can't remember how to read the chart lol

Is anyone good with growth charts and can tell me what percentile I am measuring at? This was 28+2 weeks, and the midwife never told me, it's not mentioned in my notes like last pregnancy and I don't use AI lol

colostrum

does anyone know when your colostrum is meant to come in? I'm just at 35 weeks but when I try to hand express, all that comes out is just watery, a slight cream tint but really slight, not thick at all. (yes I know I'm meant to wait until 36 weeks but I'm likely to have to deliver early so I'm anxious to get a bit of stock.) I feel like it's pretty late to still not be getting anything, will it get thicker in the next week or does this suggest I might have some trouble with the colostrum coming in in time for my delivery?
