Am I panicking over nothing?

My baby has fluid on one of their kidneys, I have to drive 3 hours for a specialized ultrasound because my regular hospital doesn't have the equipment. My Dr said it's probably nothing to worry about but that it's still concerning enough that they want to check all the boxes before making any decisions. I'm 31 weeks 2 days. I don't want to worry about nothing but I'm 19 and this is my first. I don't really have anyone to ask. Thank you!

Listen to your dr- it's probably no big deal they just want to be absolutely sure. I'm sorry things are scary, I hope everything works out as easily as possible.

I always think the absolute worst when things like that happen. The doctors just have to make sure everything’s good with baby, because if not they make the informed decision to induce earlier than 40 weeks when things show up. If the dr isn’t worried I think baby will be okay and they just want to make sure before getting closer to due date

Bag for hospital

Ok so I know I’m a little early but my mind likes to be very organised 😂 what sort of bag are you planning on taking to hospital with you? Last time I think I took a large suitcase and I ended up using hardly anything! Do I take a small suitcase for baby and then a little bag of bits for me? Or do I just take the suitcase again?

Pressure in pelvis / FTM

I’m 37 weeks & woke up with heaviness/pressure in pelvic area. I hardly could swing my legs out bed. Is anyone else experiencing this? Called Triage and midwife advised it’s normal & paracetamol and call back if any other symptoms arise.

Wtf is this stage? 🫠

I’ve never known such an up and down stage of parenting.

My daughter is either a ray of sunshine or constantly screaming.

I cannot ever predict how our days go. I don’t work Fridays and every Friday is just horrible at the moment 😭 also 24 weeks pregnant and just exhausted.

Any July walkers yet

My baby is practicing standing at the moment . Cruising around furniture and I feel like it’s not tooo far away until she starts walking. But I’m quite happy if that takes a little time🤣

Where are you at?
