Had my 20 weeks scan at NNUH and they couldn’t write down the gender for us.🥹🥹

I am a bit sad as I really needed to do a gender reveal with my family. It was only when we were at the hospital and we were told they don’t write down the gender anymore, but they told one of our family member over the phone. I wish I had known, could have gone private 🥹.

On the bright side, everything went well. The baby is healthy and heartbeat strong .❤️❤️

Happy Birthday!

Officially my age went up a number lol wishing everyone a happy birthday if your birthday just past, if it’s today, or coming up 💕

I’m curious, what’s the WORST part about having a C-Section?

I’ve got 2 kids and never experienced a C-Section, so I’m generally curious and haven’t seen any posts about what the worst part is? I know lots of people will say the aftermath - leaving the hospital (not being able to move, dealing with incision pain, achy body etc) & thereafter but I’m more specifically asking about the hours before, during surgery and the hours after the C-Section and not necessarily the PP part of it. Would love to hear about it 🤍

Baby boy born 🩵

Hey ladies , I’ve had nearly 2 weeks of my boy now and I’ve realised I’ve not checked in on here at all . My boy was born 30th July at 3.44 weighing 6 pound 4 ! He was born 37+3 .

He had a tough start and came out extremely bruised , the doctors said they have never seen anything like it 🙈 but he’s all okay now and very content .

Thank you everyone for all your help and advice over the last 9 months .

Planned/ elective/ emergency C section recovery opinions?

Due a planned c section soon due to a severe tear in my last birth with lasting damage to my pelvic muscles.

How was your recovery? Really worried about coping with a toddler.

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!

Baby’s growth

Im worried about how baby is growing :(

I have had very small bump my whole pregnancy. I had an ultrasound at 34 weeks to check baby’s growth and it shows shes 9% percentile.

She was 21% percentile at my 20 week anatomy scan. Midwife says it’s okay but on the low side and that baby is just small. I will need an ultrasound every two weeks to monitor it until baby’s here.

Have any other mom’s babies been around 9%? Was the baby okay but small? And what happens if baby gets to 3% which is what my midwife’s and concerned about?
