How did your 3rd csection go?

I'm pregnant with my 3rd baby..I have had 2 previous csection. 1 elective to my sleeping baby and 1 emergency for my first. I have to get a 3rd as my doctor has told me and that's fine as I would want one but I've just heard horror stories as you shouldn't go past 3. I would love the option of a another baby if it came to it but I'd be scared of another csection with more risks.

I’ve had 3. Two emergency and the third planned. I’ve been absolutely fine and I as told if I was to be pregnant again I would go in at 37 weeks as I wasn’t able to go into labour. (There will not be another!!)
My third was planned although I did go into labour myself and I went straight to the hospital when o was 100% certain I was going in labour and I was taken almost straight away.
My only down side is this time I have not shifted my belly pooch. I dunno if it’s cos it was number 3 or cos there is only 21 months between my second and 3rd but the pooch seems to be staying

There’s higher risk of complications after each one, i know someone who’s had 4 and has been okay but I have decided to stop at 2 kids as I’ve also had 2 emergency c sections and don’t want to risk anything

C section

Oooooo guys I have my planned c section today and I am soooo scared and nervous 😬

percentile lines

anyone who has been pregnant before been told their baby was on the 95th percentile and turned out not to be the case? through my bump measurements and one scan they’re all showing over the 95th line, hoping this might not be the case but was it accurate for you??

When did your first come?

Hi! I know people always say the first comes late, but my husband was 3 weeks early and just over 10lbs and I was over a week early and just under 9lbs, and our baby I measuring ahead by a few weeks (I know the 15% margin of error lol), so I’m trying to just have us prepared by November 1 since we’re due 12/3.

Has anyone here experienced having their first coming early just because they were “ready” to come out sooner? Inductions count, but I told my OB I only want one if I absolutely have to do it.

Just trying to be practical here and not feel crazy for wanting to have everything done an entire month before the due date including packed hospital bags and the car seat in the car 😅

30 weeks movements

Does anyone else’s baby have active days then quiet days seems like my baby will be active one day then quiet the next then active again the day after then quiet again just wondering if anyone else has had this pattern ?

Rolling

Is anyone's baby still not rolling? Mine seems to try when on her side but cant seem to make it. She is very strong lifting her head when doing tummy time. Is there anything you can do to help them or should I leave her to do it in her own time? First time mum so just looking for others experiences 🙂 she is also teasing us with laughs she smiles from ear to ear but has done a tiny laugh maybe 3 times

Don’t feel sad about him turning 1

I don’t feel sad about my baby turning 1 at all! Does this make me emotionally stunted 😂anyone else the same?
