3rd C-section

I would love some encouragement. My husband and I are expecting our 3rd child this Fall and I will be having a 3rd c-section.
My first c-section was unplanned and urgent (baby’s heart rate dropped during labor). My second c-section was planned, but became an emergency because baby’s heart rate dropped while they were still checking me in for the surgery.
Let’s just say, I’m traumatized by previous experiences.

3 c sections over here too! 2 emergencies followed by a planned section. My 3rd was absolutely amazing and changed my whole perspective of c sections, I’d do it all over again tomorrow if I could. Feel free to message me if you want to chat some more and I can try and ease your mind about it all! X

This will be my 3rd and last c-section. My first was like yours but my second planned c-section was very successful and peaceful! They usually do a better job planning when they see how things went wrong before. So here’s to you having a successful planned c-section. It’s going to happen this time and be the best experience yet!

I have had 3 planned c sections. My 3rd was a cat 3 due to preeclampsia. I also had all 3 of mine in under 3 years. Between november and December this year i will have a 1 year old, 2 year old and 3 year old for 5 weeks. Even tho my 3rd was a mess due to me needing ga and my own complications. I would happily go and have another baby by c section. All mine were c sections due to their massive weights

IM SO CONFUSED

Last week my midwife said my stomach was measuring a week behind, so she said I needed a growth scan. (33w 3d) I go to the ultrasound yesterday, they tell me baby is 4pounds 5 ounces and says that’s in the 7th percentile and have me speak to a doctor immediately, doctor said I need to come in 2x a week for monitoring and a ultrasound every other week…. Here’s the thing I feel like they are freaking out for no reason I searched it up and it said 4.5 is on track or ahead for 33 weeks, Also she was practicing breathing in the ultrasound, and her heart beat is healthy.

Line eyes?

This line came up in time frame, me and friend could both see it but im finding it hard to believe if is a line due to previous loss and ttc for so long 🩷
Im 10dpo so still early! But got it at this time with my first

31+6 weeks - growth scan

I was referred for a scan after my 28 week midwife app when they measured my bump and placed me just above the 10th centile. The scan that afternoon resulted in baby on the 54th centile. I’ve just had a follow up this morning and they are saying she’s now 16th centile and I’m being closely monitored weekly since there has been a drop / slow growth. Placenta blood flow and pressure were all normal today. Feeling pretty anxious though as how can these measurements be so wildly different in the space of 3 weeks?! Anyone else experienced this? I’m going to pack my hospital bag this weekend so it’s done, just incase!!

Natural labour induce

I really want baby to come before 40 weeks (im impatient and family are on holiday so would rather she born when they’re around for support).

Does anyone think walking/hiking helped kick start their labour?

Hi all . So on my 27 weeks scan it came out that my baby is smaller than usual or normal size , did anyone experience that ? How do I take it ? My partner is quite short and small and I’m not tall either could it be that ?

Or my big worries That something is wrong with a baby after I lost two pregnancies in the past …
Many thanks 🙏 in advance to all mums

I’m a mom to a 1-year-old now.😊

Yesterday was my baby’s birthday and I got so emotional. It took me way back before she was born and all the fight that we were fighting. Happy Birthday mommy love you. 🎂🎁🎈🎊🎉
