Need advice- followed guidance and was told to cancel section Thursday as baby was head down when all along she’s been unstable lie and found out I have polyhydramis too yesterday to top it off 39+3 but won’t section me till next week!

Since 36 week growth scan I was advised my fluid levels were in the normal range but high and I’ve said all along I’m massive . Luckily bought my 40 week growth scan forward yesterday 39+2 and my baby was engaged last two sweeps and now she’s been flipping again and hospital don’t see this as an emergency and I’m so worried about going into labour as my cervix is forward and soft 1cm last check over week ago. I also followed advice and cancelled my section Thursday and now I can barely walk and in a lot of pain and discomfort don’t know what I can do . Thought of waiting to end of next week for section is making me struggle. Baby also weighing 8lb 6oz 😭

What age was your baby when you first left them overnight?

(Don’t judge I feel like this is giving bad mum enough🫣😂)

It’s my partner’s mums birthday coming up and my baby is seven weeks old I feel on edge leaving him as it is and all I read is people not being able to leave there baby till they’re over 2 months, is it bad if I do go for the night and leave him with a family member ? And is it bad that I’m even considering going 🥲🥲

Hospital bag

Finally it's due date month!

How much is everyone packing for the hospital? I've got a cabin sized suitcase and a changing bag full and still got some bits left to pack. Am I over doing it? FTM here so no idea what I will actually use but I also want to take things I might want to use even if I don't end up using them.

Also is anyone packing 0-3 clothing? I'm measuring in the 90 percentile but my midwife has told me that does mean I'll have a big baby. Again unsure and how many and what time outfits to pack. I love gone with just a newborn swaddle hoping that we will manage with that as my 0-3 swaddles are 2.5 tog
Thanks

Waters breaking vs watery discharge

How could people tell the difference between watery discharge and their waters breaking?

20w Anatomy Scan

I had my 20w anatomy scan on Friday and although they said everything looked well, I was told that baby girl is measuring on the lower centile and they booked us in for another growth scan in about 2 weeks which has got me worried as a first time mum. I was wondering if this happened to anyone else and everything turned out okay?

Kayla, are you alive girl?

I realized Kayla was such a popular name when I was growing up there would be like 3 Kayla's in one class. Sadly I have not run into any Kayla's as an adult. Where y'all at?
