Midwives just showing up at door

Hi all,

I've just gave birth 10 days ago and had my day 5 appointment to take off my dressing. My baby also got weighed at this appointment and had lost 8grams. Guidance states that if it's more than 8 to 10% then they write up a plan to help with weight. I was supposed to go back for anotjer weigh in but this wasn't mandatory. Anyway today someone showed up at my door to do a weigh in. No phone call or morning before hand. Is this the norm where midwives just randomly show up?

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?

Pulling to stand

My 6.5 month old has been pulling to stand the past week or two. I have read a lot that babies this young really shouldn’t be standing because of the position
makes them hurt their joints, but we are not forcing him in this position. He’s doing it himself just wondering if anybody has experienced this with their babies if you have seen it affecting them? Should I be stopping him when he does it or encourage him to do it?

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 😭
