Final growth scan update 💜

I had my final growth scan this past Thursday!

At my appointment on Tuesday…
My midwife struggled to feel where the baby was and thought they might be head up… so even she thought that's ‘breech’ so I booked a private scan just to be absolutely sure.

I’m so happy to say — baby’s head has been down the whole time! 😂💜 Exactly where they should be, ready to come any day now… my due date is 14 August 🥹

Baby is in perfect health and weighs 6 lb 11 oz — growing beautifully 💪✨

I’ve let the midwives know, especially since it really felt like she was pushing me towards the hospital againg and talking about needing a section when there was actually nothing to worry about at all!

This is when I was worried, in case, but definitely going ahead with my home birth exactly as planned
🥹💜💜💜

So relieved!!!!
My body knows exactly what it’s doing.
Everything’s ready…
Just waiting for our baby to decide when it’s time 💜

Planned vs emergency c section recovery?

Is an emergency c section recovery harder than a planned one?

What recovery experience did you have with a planned or an emergency c section?

Has anyone had both?

Thank you x

EIF or CPC

Hi! I just went to my 20 week anatomy scan and they said my babygirl looks and seems totally healthy with very low risk of any chromosomal defects but during the scan they saw a EIF in her brain and CPC in her heart and want me to go to a specialist for another ultrasound to get better details. I am currently freaking out internally and want to know if any other mothers have dealt with this and if it’s true they do go away after time. Feel free to chat me!

unsure of scan photo?

I had my 12 week scan a couple weeks ago and baby just wasn’t not co operating so they asked me to come back a couple weeks later to which i did yesterday… baby still wasn’t completely playing ball and was faced away and then slightly turned so she could get a little picture, the sonographer got the best picture she could, she was lovely bless her and she said she couldn’t see any concerns but…i’m not sure if it’s the angle or if it’s just be but i feel like babies face just looks a little off like the nose area is very pointy???
i’m just looking for some reassurance. is this normal and it’s just not a great angle or could something be up?
