Yes I had this on my last scan. I got tested for diabetes as they say its one of the biggest reasons for extra fluid. Yep I have it. I also had some blood tests done my consultant didn't tell me what they were for. I have another scan and appointment on Monday so guess I will find out then.
I had a scan at 31 weeks and had 8.3 excess fluid having another scan on Tuesday
I first did them for 3 days and they rang me cause the midwife team thought it would need to be referred but she was happy to not need to seem me and then ive been retesting since the scan but not seen midwife yet to give new results

My family don't like baby's name
I love my baby boys name, my friends love it and my siblings too. Everyone else in my family are not crazy about it and keep saying because of its strong African sounding-ness baby will be judged and loose opportunities in the future blah blah blah.
For an African family we've got pretty bland European favoured names with our African born day names.
I respect their opinions but I love the name my other children love the name and I'm very happy to keep it.
I'm married to a European with middle easter roots and they'd prefer if we went down the Mediterranean style of name.
It makes me frustrated and sad because people in UK and maybe abroad favor names like George, Charlotte, Sarah, James I can't branch out? It's ridiculous we have artists with tough Russian or Germanic even Polish names which everyone just gets on with but something more African inspired isn't okay?
Baby hasn't got a birth certificate or official documents yet. Should I keep me baby's name which he's used to and his siblings? Or shall I confirm and listen to my elder family members and change it to a European favoured name?
I'm 95% sure I want to stick to my guns, after all on this pretty traumatic & difficult pregnancy journey it was only myself I could rely on and therefore who has the right to try and "re name" my baby?
Advice welcomed thanks 😊

Breech Baby
I’m 36 weeks today and just had an ultrasound scan. The technician found the baby in breech so I’ve been sent to maternity triage. This is my first baby so could anyone tell me what to expect while I’m in triage please 😅

Constant movement for 2 hours
I’m nearly 33 weeks and he’s not stopped wriggling, really big movements and lightening crotch pain for 2 hours. Is this normal?
I know movement is good but doesn’t normally go on for this long

How are you giving birth?
Saw a woman give birth in her driveway today and it had me wondering what my plan of action is. I know I want it to be as natural as possible (does gas and air count?) but not sure I want to go as far as not being at hospital? You guys?
Sorry I just needed something light hearted as there is a lot of worry and doom and gloom here if you aren’t careful.
