Planned c section
Looks like they are going to have to give me a c section!
Deverstated is a understatement but needs must. Placenta is low and baby is breech.
If anyone on here's had one, can you tell me how the day of your c section plans out? And any advice really?
3rd baby but first c section.
Thank you!

I had a section with my first for placenta praevia.
Because you have a medical need, it’s likely you’ll be high up on the list of surgeries. Went to hospital for 7 and just relaxed, can’t even remember how time passed. The medical team comes to meet you. I went to theatre at 11 and they did my cannula and spinal block - probably the most daunting part.
Baby comes out so quickly! You then spend the rest of the procedure focused on your little one
I had a planned one with my first. My hospital books two planned sections a day and both mums go in at 7am. They generally do the most “medically complicated person” first which was me. Went in just before 10am and baby was born at 10:55. But they spent a good 30 mins doing my spinal and getting me sorted in that time. I felt calm throughout but it did surprise me that although I felt no pain I personally could still feel tugging and pulling.

Growth scan referral at 28 weeks
I left my 28 week midwife appointment today feeling really down and alone. I’ve been referred for a growth scan as the bump/fundal measurement is below the 5th centile. The midwife said the measurement usually isn’t accurate and the scan should be reassuring, but it will be almost a week before I have it and I’m left wondering if there is something wrong and I’ve been told to look out for various symptoms (preeclampsia etc) in the meantime. I’ve asked to bring my perinatal mental health appt forward (I had PPD after a preterm birth with my first) as my mood has been really down recently and just left feeling really unsupported. I was told to go to A&E if I have suicidal thoughts in the meantime and that was that. Just looking for some reassurance and support really as I feel really lost and sad - has anyone else been referred for a growth scan and it’s been fine?

Normal or not
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice and to hear from other parents who may have experienced something similar.
My baby boy is 5 weeks old and I’ve noticed that he sometimes has jittery movements, where his whole body seems to jerk a few times. It doesn’t happen at any particular time or follow a specific pattern.
He also cries, strains and turns red in the face before having a bowel movement.
Has anyone else experienced this with their newborn? Is this kind of jitteriness normal at this age, or is it something I should be concerned about?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you! ❤️

Baby measuring big - 28 weeks 😭
Baby is measuring 3lbs 4oz which is >99th percentile. They scheduled repeat growth scan in 4 weeks. Anyone else experiencing this?
This is my 3rd baby and I’m taking my glucose test tomorrow. I passed the initial glucose test at 14 weeks. Never had GD with my other pregnancies. First baby they thought was going to be big had to do a bunch of extra scans and he came out 7lbs 3oz. Second baby was 8lbs 12oz but didn’t flag anything during routine scans.
