baby breathing

i cant shake the feeling that something is just off about my babys breathing. this is my second baby and i hope im just overreacting. i have a few video examples that im gonna post aswell as show to his dr at his next appointment in 2 weeks. they checked his oxygen in the hospital because under his ribs were pulling so bad. (a few hours after he was born)

Had a private scan today!

I had a private scan today and it was so reassuring. Anyone who’s feeling a bit nervous, have a look at whether there’s somewhere close to you. It cost me £60 for a 15 minute appointment. I am 8 weeks and it’s incredible! You can see they already have 4 limbs and you can see the bones in the spine forming and the heartbeat is visable too! She reassured me that the yolk sack is in the right place etc too. Would highly recommend it! Picture for anyone who is also 8 weeks - your bubba will look very similar! 😍

Is there a polite way for me to refuse any further student midwifery involvement in my care?

I’m 37 weeks and every single student midwifery I have had , has struggled to find my babies heart beat, added quite a lot of stress by having to constantly leave the room to ask the senior midwives questions or to find baby, even student doctors can’t find baby’s heartbeat.

I’m a high risk pregnancy, need a delivery suite labour and I appreciate they have to learn / tick off so many births etc but I’m just a bit ansy and fed up now , I don’t want the unnecessary stress.

How can I politely decline the student midwifes seeing me in my next midwife appt in the community and for them not to be involved in my birth?

Baby bored!

Does anyone else feel like their baby is fussy because of being bored of the house or am I just looking for reasons? 😂 the recent weather has had us indoors more, some days short walks in the morning but some days we aren’t even managing that. The days we don’t go out at all her evening fuss starts earlier at like 2.30 where none of her toys are doing the trick and I do just feel like it’s boredom but have no idea how to get around it!
