Labor prep

Am I the only one that hasn’t done anything to prep for labor? 😅 I’m just kinda going with the flow but if you’re prepping for it, what do you suggest doing? Perineal massages?

What is this?!

Someone has to know I’m going crazy!

The staff room at work had these little cookie cake type things and they tasted so good, like marzipan! They’re little flower shapes but I can’t seem to find them online and no one in the building knows where they came from apparently 😫😫😫

Was very excited

Got to see my son yesterday made me cry because I know this handsome lil
Man is going to bring joy to my heart again I can’t wait to meet him n hold him .

Growth scans - anyone else had a similar situation?

I had a growth scan at 33 weeks because baby had flat lined and basically not grown. At the scan we were told baby was a perfectly average size and nothing to worry about. At 37 weeks I was measuring 35.5 which they said was okay. 2 weeks later (Today) I was measuring 34. So she’s gone down on the graph and it looks quite concerning, considering I’m now 39 weeks. She hasn’t moved position since last time, so it’s not like it could be based on how she’s laying. I wouldn’t normally be too worried because her size was completely fine last time. But for the past week or so I’ve noticed her movements haven’t been as often. I’ve been too scared to go to triage, I had a really bad experience at 18 weeks, the midwife made me cry and made me feel like an idiot. Now I’m kicking myself, wishing I did just go just incase, because If her growth has actually stopped and it could have been caught sooner, it would be my fault. Has anyone else measured small this late on? Due next week. I hate the wait🥲waiting to get the call to book the scan in

It’s my birthday

It’s my birthday..and my husbands, also our anniversary..I just ain’t feeling it 🫠

Elective C-Section UK🤍

I’ve been advised to have a C-Section as there will only be 16 months between the deliveries of my 2 babies.

My due date is 31st December, so being booked in a week early would mean my section date will be Christmas Eve.

Now, all I care about is the health and happiness of my child, but ideally I do not want to have my baby on that day.

Is there any chance of choosing a day to be booked in?? For example, 22nd December as opposed to 24th. Any help is appreciated x

Hospital Bag UK

I am really very confuse, can anyone tell me what to pack in hospital bag as I am first time Mom and I really don’t know what to pack and what to leave. Some videos on youtube says to pack nail filer as well. Is it okay to file nail of a new born Baby?
