Bump dropping

Hi! Im 33+5 weeks pregnant with my first baby. My bump seems to have dropped today, I had my antenatal appointment yesterday and baby wasnt engaged.
Im just wondering when everyone's dropped and if this is too early? Should I be contacting the midwives? Im not in pain other than lightening crotch evey now and again, and baby moving like normal.

Thank you xx

Natural birth or C-section?

Hi, I am due my first baby in October and my partner and family are advising me to have a C-section. As they say it’s less painful etc. But I would prefer a natural birth and wouldn’t want to go through recovery after the C-section. I had an ovarian cyst removed at 14 weeks, along with my ovary and fallopian tube. It took me weeks to recover from this and worry the recovery for C-section would be the same. Does anyone have any advice please? Would you have a C-section or opt for natural birth?

Where are your 4mo at?!

What are your 4 month olds doing developmentally & how are their motor skills?? My little man turned 4mo on the 7th & he has really good head control when being held & lifts his trunk pretty good during tummy time. He isn’t quite sitting yet but he can stay stable for a few secs-mins until he topples over or starts to slouch. He starting to kick during tummy time & when provided he pushes off of my hand or my leg or really anything lol. I’ve seen so many 4mo olds start to kind of scoot (almost crawl) etc. I wanna know where yall are at! 😊

How many ultrasounds are we having?

I've been comparing notes with several of my friends, and it seems there is *no* consensus for how many ultrasounds your doctor orders during pregnancy. One of my friends only had 3. I've already had 5 at 31 weeks and have 4 more scheduled. I'm trying to figure out if this is an doctor by doctor thing, or if it's because I'm seeing an MFM (due to chronic illness stuff; I've had zero complications with the pregnancy itself.)

So... How many are you scheduled to have?
