Strong babies?

Has anyone else got a really strong baby!
My little Olivia was born on the 3nd August and shes soo strong, she fights me every opportunity she gets haha! She can make self soo stiff and shes even holding her own head up!

What's with these August 2026 babies they seem to be super strong, have hiccups all the time, lift their own heads!

Advice on early induction

I had my growth scan today (35 weeks) and they are measuring on the 9th percentile. I have another scan in two weeks and they'd like to discuss inducing between 37-39 weeks if they've not grown enough. Any advice or similar experiences?

Second baby and my first was born 6th percentile at 40 weeks - small but perfectly healthy!

Please help calm me down…

(Third baby / two previous spontaneous labours).

I am spiralling.

37+5 and went in for reduced movements yesterday. Had a scan today and baby is transverse.

They want to do an ECV on Thursday at 38 weeks to get baby head down (obvs with risk), and then if successful they want to break my waters so she cannot move again (and will either go into labour or need induction). If unsuccessful, they want to schedule a section.

Please please please give me a positive story that doesn’t result in days long labour / c section 😭😭

I know ultimately the most important thing is getting baby out safely, however I am absolutely petrified of the thought of both induction/c section.

They have said if I don’t have the ECV the likelihood of her going down on her own now is low and may need emergency c section anyway 🥺

2nd section

Anybody else had 2 sections? I’m absolutely terrified to the point it’s keeping me awake at night thinking of all the risks and stuff

Bump change

Hey, I'm 32 weeks 2 days pregnant and my bump seems to look smaller/lower? And I have this gut feeling something isn't right 🤷🏼‍♀️ what do I do? I can still feel little man moving but it just feels like something is wrong. I'm booked for a C-section on the 21st September x
