First go at collecting colostrum
Second baby, 38+1 and managed to get 2x 1ml syringes. It did take about half an hour though š
Starting later than I did in my first pregnancy, partially because I donāt want to go into labour yet but also because I just havenāt found the time!

Good going! This was me on Thursday evening too š did it again last night and only managed 1 full syringe from one side and half from the other - all good though as at least itās something š©·
Hope your collecting goes well and labour too š„°

Growth scans / big baby
How accurate have peoples growth scans been? I had a scan at 40+1 and they said the baby is measuring 8.15lb! At 36 weeks she was measuring 6.2lb, so this seems like a massive jump! From the 43rd percentile to 95th! Those who were told they were having big babies, were they born big? I'm only 4'11ft, husband is 6ft and all his family were big babiesšš

Bleeding
Iām 14 days post partum and just wondering whether anyone has experienced anything similar so my lochia had calmed down next to nothing and then all of a sudden yesterday I had quite a lot of bleeding it slowed down and I went to triage they said they werenāt concerned. I woke up this morning with a little bit of blood on my sanitary towel but when I went to wipe itās like a blood bath down there again. Anybody else experiencing this?

TOLAC/VBAC
I currently see an OB in Tarzana, CA. I can honestly say Iāve always felt heās an intelligent man with amazing bedside manner. I had an unplanned c-section November 2022 and have baby #2 on the way in February 2027. My c-section was because my babies cord was wrapped around his neck four times. I did my research and Iād be a great candidate for TOLAC/VBAC. Iāve also viewed Reddit forums where many women have had supportive OBās that welcome trying. My OB says he can perform it, but makes me feel foolish for wanting to attempt it. Saying that a uterine rupture is harmful to me and detrimental to the baby (death). The fear being instilled in me prevents me from wanting to do this very thing I feel I deserve to experience. However, that very entitlement makes me wonder if Iāll regret attempting it if something goes wrong.
Can anyone share their experience and maybe suggest an OB that was supportive in or near Tarzana, CA?

20 week scan notes
Iām currently nearly 23 weeks pregnant and had my scan at 20 (+1) weeks. I was told baby was measuring well and she looks great. Iāve since spoken to a midwife and a consultant about a complication I have which was discovered on my 20 week scan and has made me a high risk pregnancy. The sonographer, midwife and consultant have all given me different information about this complication each saying my placenta is in a slightly different place. I was hoping to read the scan notes myself, but havenāt received these. I have an online notes system called My Pregnancy Notes, but find not all information is added to this.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Where did you find/were you given your 20 week scan notes?
Thanks
