Planned C-section second child

So I’m supposed to have a planned C-section but haven’t had the date yet. I’ll be 38 weeks on Friday but they said this week they would tell me preop dates. I haven’t received anything 🫣I’m anxious now because I want to prepare and just don’t know anything.

Any advice? Are you in the same boat? Anyone from Manchester?

This unit the reason mommy couldn’t deliver vaginally. He was so chunky wtf. Now he look like a cute lil bean. But fuck I definitely dodged a bullet for my puss not being able to push out a baby his size but also this recovery sucks ass. My boobs are four times bigger; just feelin like a fresh helium balloon and my body feels like it’s getting worse certain days and somewhat better on other days. This is the most bipolar shit my body ever been through. God my first birth was so easy 😭

Hey everyone 👋🏼

So at my 28 week midwife appointment she measured me and was on 97th centile, at 30 weeks again measured on 97th. Had a growth scan yesterday at 30+3 and they said I was on 17th centile?? Which one is more accurate as that’s quite a big difference? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi! Has anyone been told there baby’s femur bone is measuring small?

My baby boy is measuring in the 49th percentile but his femur bone is measuring in the 8th percentile. I am 23 weeks pregnant and all his other bones and measurements are normal but I’m stressing! I have to have another scan at 28 weeks

Has anyone else had this? Or similar?

If you've been induced/will be do you call in or do they call you?

At my hospital I am given a time to call and then they tell me if they have a bed or not. If not they give me a new time to call back and check amd the process continues until they have space.
I've seen other people say the hospital calls them. Not entirely sure if they do a similar process of calling every so many hours for that.

I think either way makes sense. My hospital it frees up staff for other tasks, the other way there's potentially less wasted time on the phone because they can just call when they are ready.

The things I think about since they told me to call back at 9. Lol
