C section date

Just received my c section date , I’ll be 40+3 , was expecting it to be at 39 weeks so feeling a bit deflated and anxious about going into labour before the date, had a previous traumatic emergency c section 2 years ago. Anyone been in similar situation, could I request it gets brought forward ?

Always worth a call but I had no hope moving mine . I was pregnant with twins with complications and also previous emergency C-section(with ongoing trauma) and they still didn’t move it they told me if someone else’s was cancelled for whatever reason they’d consider it but it never happened. I was just told if I go into labour before hand it’d just be a semi emergency C-section

With my first son, they booked it for 40+2 weeks. I didn't have any signs of labour at all, the only thing that happened was when I was waiting to go into the theatre for my elective, I lost my mucous plug (noticed when I went to wee for the last time). But can always check and see what they can do for you

Reduced movements!

Hi girls - I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and feeling a bit embarrassed. I’ve been told I’ve got an anterior placenta and I’ve been in triage around 5/6 times since 25 weeks for reduced movements. I’ve since moved and my care has changed to my current hospital. I went in over two weeks ago for reduced movements, ctg was fine and was referred for a scan to double check - that went perfect as well. I went in today because she again, wasn’t moving much - soon as I got there she was all active and wiggling away. Ctg went perfect again but they’ve referred me for a scan again to double check. I just feel like I’m wasting their time and I’m a bit embarrassed about it all. I know I’m doing the right thing by getting it checked if she has reduced movements - I just worry about other people thinking I’m being a bit dramatic! Has anyone had a similar situation?

Boy or girl? 🩷🩵

I've just had my 12 scan and I'm curious as to what people think the little one might be ☺️

I know you can look into the nub theory, so I'm curious if some of you can tell 🤨🤭

This is the clearest photo they could get due to previous C-section scar and baby just not playing ball today 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Heart Shaped Uterus

I am 5 weeks 5 days and had an early scan this morning due to cramping last week. Everything on my scan looks exactly how it should and the consultant was happy. However she did mention I have a heart shaped uterus and implantation occured on my right. I asked what did that mean and she explained uterus has a slight drip which makes it heart shaped. She said it's nothing to worry about. I stupidly googled after the scan and read there is an increased risk of miscarriage etc. Does anyone have a heart shaped uterus/have positive stories?

Symptoms Gone 😞

Hi Guys 7 weeks nearly now and the symptoms have all gone.

Ultrasound is next week, and I'm itching to test again, or get a private scan.

I was hoping for some positive stories of people in the same position? Or experiences?
