Increased discharge

Anyone else have a ton of discharge clear and feel like they have peed themselves randomly at 36 weeks ?
I hate my ob so I don’t wanna call and they will just tell me to go to the triage anyway.

Doctors appointment (am I overreacting?)

Had a doctors appointment yesterday due to being on 2 lots of antibiotics for a uti. I ended up have an allergic reaction to the second lot which left me with a rash on my face and peeling skin down below. I was given an appointment with a male nurse which is fine, slightly embarrassing but fine. I was in the doctors for over an hour, went in explained and he put the arm band on wrong twice for my blood pressure, couldn’t get the pulse device on my finger correctly and had me put in on upside down (never seen that) then had to do a sample which was still showing a uti where he was looking at it for over 5 minutes. Had to go out so he could get a chaperone to inspect down below, over half an hour I get called in to have a receptionist there whilst I had no tissue to put over me and they’re both standing there looking at me naked from my stomach to my toes. He then asked me to basically open up my vagina so he could look, no swab to see what was causing the soreness, no touching to see himself, nothing. I ended up in tears on the bed because I was mortified and that’s when they said would you like something to put across you to cover yourself up so the doctor can look like that. He then sent me out again to ask a doctor what to give me for down below. Today the skin around my bum and vagina is bleeding due to the irritation and I’ve got a cream but no idea what is causing it. I’ve left with still no clue as to what’s going on as it just felt like a shambles in there. Am I overreacting to feel like that was really unprofessional?

Silent miscarriage

I am 40. Today I had a 13w dating scan for the first time for our “surprise” baby just to find out that the baby doesn’t have a heartbeat, has lots of nuchal fluids around his neck, down to his spine and around his heart.
My husband is sad, but he went to work (night shift). We are new to this town and I haven’t made any friends yet… my family doesn’t know I was even pregnant… my almost 2 yo little one is unwell with a high fever next to me. I feel so sad and so alone. My body is not showing any signs of miscarriage. I still have nausea and “night sickness”. I just don’t know what to do with myself…

Blood Thinner Injections

Anyone had a c-section and not needed to do the injections afterwards?

My first was an emergency and I had the jabs 10 days post op, this time I have an elective on Friday and already thinking about the horrid injections afterwards 🫩👎🏻

Baby is measuring big - what are my birthing options?

Hey ladies :) I'm 33+4 today and I had a growth scan and they've said baby is measuring big at 96th percentile. This has been the case since 20 weeks but now they've referred me to a consultant to discuss birth options etc and I have to do the gestational diabetes test again (it was fine last time) and I'm just stressing out now 😩 I'm a first time mum and I'm feeling overwhelmed because I'm hearing so many different things. People keep saying that the weight stuff is usually inaccurate, so I'm trying to take things with a pinch of salt. Has anyone had a similar experience and can give any advice?

Elective C Section VS Induction

It is looking very likely that we will be induced around the 37/38 week mark due to babies slowed growth. However, induction was one road I did not want to go down. Everyone I know has had painful inductions and that eventually led to emergency c-sections. I’m considering electing for a c-section instead of putting myself and baby through a lot of stress and pain. I’m so torn! I will be discussing with midwives and doctors in the next couple of weeks (we have a consultation this week and next). What is everyone’s thoughts/experiences?

Movements

Hello all, I’m 19+1 today, I have a higher bmi and haven’t felt much real movement. When I have felt stuff it’s like pops or bubbles which I can’t 100% say are movements. I’m really nervous as this is my 4th pregnancy ( 1 living child) and I’m so worried. Anyone else with a higher BMI having a similar experience?
