Positive c section stories?

Hi girlies im due for a c section in 2 weeks please can I hear some positive experiences?

Hi guys im due a baby boy in january and my partner wants to name him Leo after his best friend, the boy middle name was already set to Duncan for a boy (his uncle who has passed) but im not certain on Leo, i like the name and think its sweet and works but im not certain about the reasoning of it being his best mates name, however I also dont have any other boy name ideas so might go with the Leo Duncan because I do like the name, thoughts?

C section date

I got my planned c section date today, the consultant wanted to book me in for 39+2 but I insisted on 40 weeks exactly. I didn't want to give birth earlier than necessary and both my children were born 41 weeks exactly (1 spontaneous labour 1 induced). I'm just panicking a bit now I've only ever had emergency sections, how likely is it that I will go into labour early? Did I make the wrong decision should I ask to change the date. TIA

Jury in the LC trial

So the jury has been sent back in a deadlock. I'm so conflicted on my opinion about this case, I'm not sure she was in psychosis but don't feel the CW has given enough evidence that it's not a possibility. How/what sealed your opinion on the case? (If you've followed it).

I'm not even entertaining the idea that it was PCs fault.

GROW Scans

I just had a GROW scan at 32 weeks as my midwife referred me to it as the baby was just above the 10th percentile.

I don’t know why I feel so upset about the baby being small. I’ve always been very healthy and I think I’m doing all the right things and eating healthy and trying to rest and stuff and I know all babies are different and depends on your body and stuff. He’s a healthy baby just small but for some reason it worries me that he’s small?

I think its the lack of speaking or comments made by the people doing the scans like you ask questions and its all “yes/no, it’s normal” like is it tho?

I dont know if I’m overthinking it! Anyone else feeling a bit deflated about their own scans?

First time pregnancy, when do you tell people?!

Just interested in knowing when is a good time to tell people you’re expecting. I’m 6 weeks 4 days. I’ve told my work bestie to get me through work, and that is it! Am I crazy? I’m worried to tell anyone else until I’ve had my first scan?
