My husbands 30th

Hi everyone! It’s my husbands 30th at the end of October and I wanna do something special for him. Mainly to show him how much I appreciate him cause he works full time and I get to stay at home with the kiddos 🥺🥰. He says he would be happy with a walk and some food after it but I can’t bring myself just to do that😂🫢. I’m sure one of my love languages is gift giving if that either a thing 😂😂

38 weeks - hospital bag done!

Just finished packing my hospital bag as I’m 38 weeks tomorrow. Apart from a couple of very final things like my toothbrush, phone charger, inhaler etc. it’s all done! ✅ I’m going to leave a post-it note on the top with the last few things that need to go in so my husband can grab them.

I will say getting some clear ziplock bags from Amazon and using a label maker to label what’s in each bag has made me feel SO much more calm and organised. Knowing I can ask my husband to grab something and he should know exactly where to find it will make his and my life so much easier 😂

Baby’s bag and snack bag are also both done but my next job is to pack an overnight bag for my 3 year old so that can be grabbed as and when the grandparents come and collect him! 🥹

How long do you go with no movement to get checked

I’ve been told if I’ve got reduced movements to go in but they never say how long they have to be reduced for

I couldn’t make it there the other day and the next day it went back to normal but he’s got a tendency to go a day without moving at all and then going crazy the next day

I know this is silly ... But feel like I failed this pregnancy because of a decision I made with my first

I had my consultation today with regards to this 2nd pregnancy and birth options. With everything going on and previous elective, it was the best decision to book another C-Section. I know based on all the medical info, my anxiety and how hard this pregnancy has been, it's the overall best decision. However.... I feel like because I let fear take over my first pregnancy, that I failed myself this pregnancy 😞 I was hoping for a VBAC at the beginning, but that was before all the issues. I just can't help the disappointment and self blame. Sorry for the rant and open to any advice or what not ❤️

Belly pouch

After having a c-section I’ve been left with an over hanging pouch which I find disgusting and is making me feel really depressed. Does this go or does it stay? If so any tips to get rid? Used a belly band but no difference. 😭😭

Am I goin crazy or do I see a really really faded line??

Ttc for two years but whatever way I hold it I see like a shadow of a line.

Measuring large - 95th percentile

Hi mums and mums to be! I am 28 weeks pregnant and measured 90th percentile at my midwife appointment. I got referred for a growth scan and apparently she is 95th percentile!

Does anyone have experience of this and what happens next? I was almost expecting it as I am quite tall and was a heavy baby myself but just want some examples of what happened next for you ie did you have a cesarean or induced early?
