My October baby is here.

He was born at 2:33pm today but decided to breathe in his amniotic fluid instead of air. Not improving as fast as they like so we went on the cpap and are going to be getting transferred to the nicu at a different hospital. Hopefully he improves soon so we can all go home together.

Growth scans

Hi ladies - just want to ask if there's anyone here who Hasn't been offered a growth scan? Literally everyone I've chatted with on this app has had one or multiple growth scans. My last scan was the 20 weeks one and I haven't seen baby since 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ want to ask my midwife about this at the next appt but still, is it normal to not be offered one? For context, I'm 34 weeks. Thanks x

C section scar related??

I had an emergency c section in 2024 and this year I’ve noticed something new that keeps happening and I don’t know if it’s linked to having a c section. I’ve noticed when I’m getting out the shower/bath and I’m bending forward to dry my legs and feet I get this random tight knot feeling in my stomach ( few inches above scar). It scares me but soon as I stand back straight it goes. Has anyone else experienced this?

C section pain

Hi, I had an emergency C section 2 weeks ago exactly, it was a pretty horrendous C section in the end 😭 but my question… I’m still finding myself in some pain, a soreness around my scar, a pain inside my stomach and a strain when I wee, is anyone else experiencing this please? I’m taking pain killers when it gets bad maybe once / twice a day if I really need! I really thought the pain would have been gone by now 😭😭

Early labour question!

I had a small bloody show this morning there wasn’t a lot of mucus plug but I’ve been loosing it for months but it was brown/ blood stained only the size of a pea and for the last couple hours I had intense back pain and a suttle pulsating when sat down and the back pain is
now only a very dull ache and baby boy hasn’t been as active but ever since my back pains calm down he responds when I prod him. I still don’t believe this is labour as I’ve had cramps on and off for a couple weeks and just wanted some advice
