Pregnancy pillow

Do you have a pregnancy pillow? And when did time start using it. Currently 22+4 weeks and feel abit of pain when I try to lay on my sides. I just tried putting a regular pillow under my belly and I was relieved. Is it time for a pregnancy pillow?

2nd pregnancy no one cares

Currently 12 weeks with our second and my mood is so low. Lots to process being a high risk pregnancy, my 12 week scan was proven tricky with my c section scar limiting viewing (not helped by a wriggly baby) and needing an internal scan instead (still have to go for a rescan), feeling guilty for my 1st born we are having another and questioning if we are doing the right thing. I decided to tell my sisters yesterday and the reaction wasn’t what I’d hoped for. Both think we are totally crazy and didn’t seem too eager. I then told a co worker who I can trust and again, similar reaction. It’s like no one cares at all when you get pregnant again and basically judge you for your decision. These reactions have only made me feel worse and I now don’t want to tell anyone we are having another. I don’t remember feeling this low in my 1st pregnancy but I’m not even feeling excited or happy that I’m pregnant again ☹️

Previa c-section at 38 weeks

I have completely placenta previa all pregnancy, now 35 weeks. My consultant thinks and says the guidelines are 38-39 weeks for the c-section as he thinks I should keep baby in as long as possible, and just go to hospital if I start bleeding.

This goes against everything I’ve read and also the consultant who scanned me, who said baby should be out before 38 weeks?

Has anyone else had experience of this? I am so confused as most with previa seem to have c-section at 36-37 weeks?

Glucose test results

If you’ve done the full test, how long until you got your results? The midwife doing it said they’d be in the next morning but that was Monday and I’ve still not heard anything and my badger notes still hasn’t been updated 🧐 just starting to worry a little.
