Feeling overwhelmed on what to do? 😭

I’m away from Sunday til Tuesday for a wedding and I’m 35 weeks, will be 36 weeks on Wednesday. I originally plan on packing a mini hospital bag just incase but that means washing it and packing the stuff and I don’t know why but the idea is doing all that feels so overwhelming! I only have to today and tomorrow to get everything ready as we leave super early Sunday morning!! What do I do?

C Section Saturday

I am having my second c section on Saturday, I am so nervous I keep hearing having a scheduled c section is so much calmer but I am so nervous, and nervous about how I am going to manage a newborn and a toddler that is so attached to me

After surgery underwear

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for the best type of underwear to get to wear during c section recovery?

98th percentile baby!

So I’m 34 weeks and baby has been measuring large (only his tummy) since 2 growth scans ago which is bringing him to the 98th percentile and currently guessed at 5.6lbs!
My first baby was born at 7.11lbs so they have said he is big for my gestation in comparison

I am in so much pain and have been in preterm labour since 29 weeks so the contractions have been awful but never any progression! And his movements have slowed right down despite positive CTG and scans showing he is okay

Has anyone had this with baby? Gestational test was negative and I have a blood sugar test on Saturday

I have a midwife appointment and I’m wondering about requesting induction at 37 weeks ( I had my last at 38 weeks and almost ended up in a C section as my pelvis was to narrow and be kept getting stuck) so I’m getting very anxious about trying to deliver an even bigger baby!!

Thankyou in advance
