bonfire night?
hi everyone, I really want to take my 2 year old to the fireworks this weekend however we will have a nearly 2 week old baby and don’t know if this would be too little. Obviously we will have some ear defenders and he will probably sleep through, i just don’t want my 2 year old to miss out🥹🥹

I’d maybe say too little because of the fumes tbh 🤷🏼♀️ but that’s me personally! Anyone maybe look after the LO for the evening?xxx
Will be fine as long as baby is wrapped up and not too close xxxx
Could stand back from fireworks and get some ear muffs/ sound muting ear muffs? Xx
I took my 16 week old to the fireworks the eardefenders worked amazing, just dressed him warm he watched the fireworks and fell asleep on the walk home

Induction
Hey lovelies
So my water ruptured almost 24 hours ago but my contractions are not regulating themselves and I’m still at 1 cm since Thursday. They said after 24 h of the water rupture they will proceed with induction so like they will give me a pill to regulate and force the contractions to get stronger and closer tgt.
Has anyone gone through this?

Midwife bump percentiles
Hey girls! I’m 34w4d today, had midwife, everything sounding good. But when she was feeling the bump and measuring it, she said I’d need to have a scan tomorrow as I’ve gone from 52nd to 98th percentile in two weeks😬 she could feel baby really low down in my pelvis and told me she thinks she might come early. I’m a little stressed as I know if she’s out before 37 weeks there could be problems and all sorts. Just wondering if anybody else has had this or anything similar? I’ll attach a photo of the bump to show how big it is😁!

Growth scan referral at 28 weeks
I left my 28 week midwife appointment today feeling really down and alone. I’ve been referred for a growth scan as the bump/fundal measurement is below the 5th centile. The midwife said the measurement usually isn’t accurate and the scan should be reassuring, but it will be almost a week before I have it and I’m left wondering if there is something wrong and I’ve been told to look out for various symptoms (preeclampsia etc) in the meantime. I’ve asked to bring my perinatal mental health appt forward (I had PPD after a preterm birth with my first) as my mood has been really down recently and just left feeling really unsupported. I was told to go to A&E if I have suicidal thoughts in the meantime and that was that. Just looking for some reassurance and support really as I feel really lost and sad - has anyone else been referred for a growth scan and it’s been fine?

Gestational diabetes in third trimester
Hi everyone! I’ve recently been diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 34 weeks after having four abnormal blood sugar readings, mainly in the mornings.
I’ve had two previous glucose tolerance tests which were normal, so this has come as a bit of a surprise, especially so late in pregnancy!
Has anyone else been diagnosed around 34 weeks? How did you manage it, and did it have any impact on your birth plans or delivery? I’m a first time mum so any advice would be appreciated xx

C Section overhang
My best friend and I had babies 3 days apart, both c sections, 6 months ago. My friends belly has gone back to before with no overhang, whereas I still have an overhang.
I try not to compare but it’s making me feel really depressed. Anyone else still have an overhang?
