20 week scan and results wasn’t good

Got my 20 weeks scan and my baby is measuring 9 days late in the 4% . I’m super nervous and stress and I don’t know what to do or feel . Has anyone experienced this ? If so how did it turn out in the end?

C-Section Pain

I had a c-section 2nd August (4 weeks) and the pain did start getting so much better by week 3 where I wasn’t feeling any pain at all and thought I was recovering well. However the last couple days I have been experiencing pain again in my lower tummy. My scar looks and feels fine it’s just the lower part of my tummy that I’m experiencing pain again. The pain feels exactly like how it was right at the start of my recovery!! Anyone else had this?

Stomach tightenings / braxton hicks

What would you say they feel like for you? My whole stomach just hurts like from side to side. Doesnt hurt as such but aches? I know people say your belly goes hard but mine just constantly feels hard really😅 i just feel so uncomfortable

Who should I contact?

I had my baby 5 months ago via emergency C-section as he was breech. I healed really well and my little boy is so chilled that he’s already got me thinking about giving him a sibling 😂

I know the recommendation I was given was to wait 12–18 months, but I’d really like to speak to a medical professional about it properly, as I wasn’t given much information at the time.

Who would be the best person to reach out to? I feel like my GP probably wouldn’t be much help, but at the same time, the only contact I have for the midwives is maternity triage, which surely isn’t really for questions like this?

I’d just like to have a proper conversation about the risks, timing and what would be best following an emergency C-section before making any decisions.

Milk and meals

I'm a bit lost now with meals, as I've been reading different things online and we don't have a pediatran and the HV is not replying. How much milk are you giving and how many meals a day?

Help

Hey guys! I had braxton hicks on Thursday. I was kept in over night because I’m pregnant with Twins and preterm birth is really common.

I got out on Friday and was fine Friday and Saturday but today they’ve came back really painfully I’m wondering if I need to get back in touch with the hospital or if I’m ok to leave it?

I’ve got no other signs of labour other than the random pains that are coming and going

Bracelet

I just need some help 🤣

I have a voucher for jewellery.

I found this birthsyone bracelet.

These are me and my boys birthdays.

My partner was also born in may (green). Would you get 3 or 4?

Is it weird to only get 3?

We are very much together lol but do I need to get 2 Mays ???

Am I reading into it too much 🤣
