Birth plan

I am currently 33weeks, 5 weeks left for delivery, I initially choose induction as my Doctors do not want me to go into labour naturally due to health reasons but since I made that choice at my 28weeks I have not had peace of mind, I have become more scared and nervous, and I am considering choosing a C section at this time. I am having my appointment with my Doctors on 9th Nov I don’t know if is late to change now. Has anyone had to change birth plan at this stage? How easy was it for you pls?

Positive induction stories!

I’m being induced today at 39 weeks due to a medical issue. I wasn’t induced with my first I went into spontaneous labour at 38.5weeks. Can anyone give me some positive words of encouragement who’s had inductions before as I’m a bit nervous 😬

Movements

I’m 23 weeks pregnant with my First baby boy, I have been feeling him move but I haven’t felt him for 24 hours, do I go get looked at or is this normal?

Bump - 2nd pregnancy

14 weeks today.

Does anyone else have a bump yet? I understand you show quicker with multiple pregnancies but I already feel like a beached whale and the pelvic pain has already started 😭 although I have been doing a lot of walking recently.

16 week appointment

This is my third baby and I've just been for my 16 week appointment and it was the most pointless thing ever?
She checked my urine and blood pressure. Spoke about my previous bloods results (which I can already see on badgernotes), reminded me about my 20 week scan (which I can see on badgernotes) and then told me she won't see me again until I'm 28 weeks.

I know this is my third, but why do women who are having their second or third child not get as many appointments as women who are pregnant with their first? Issues can crop up in any pregnancy, no matter how many children you've birthed...anyone else feel the same?

Bladder

I gave birth on the 7th October via VBAC and had an episiotomy. That seems to have healed HOWEVER recently i have noticed everytime i go for a wee my bladder seems to hurt along with my lower stomach? TMI so does my back area. Is this normal? Is it just part of the healing process?
