Im just wondering how every one is calculating there little ones age.
So my health visitor is going by weeks and says there isn't always 4 weeks in a month. Is this correct or is people going from the date there little one was born every month?

There's 4.33 weeks in a month. So they're not 1 month at 4 weeks old. A month is the same date the following month x

I do just by months rather than weeks.
Has anyone turned 39 weeks on a Saturday and had a C-section? When you got your date was it the following Monday?

Hi all. Found out I'm pregnant just a few days ago. Saw this group exists and couldn't resist. I had a missed miscarriage in August so I'm incredibly nervous, but really trying to stay optimistic 🌈🌈🌈

I just want to start by saying that I know every pregnancy/delivery/baby is different. That being said, I'm due next month and have been seeing so many mamas due around that same time going into labor and having their babies early. I went over with my first baby and this is my 3rd pregnancy but 2nd baby. I know there's a chance I could have this baby early, though hopefully not too early. I've been told I could be at risk for preterm labor given that I got pregnant pretty close together (my first was only 6 months when I conceived) and I had preeclampsia towards the end of my first pregnancy. All this to say that I'm 33 weeks and have been mostly having Braxton Hicks since the second trimester and have occasionally had a few "real deal" contractions that have definitely made me have to stop and grab onto something or try to catch my breath. No fluid leaks or bleeding or anything like that, just terrible terrible pressure which I didn't start having until around 36 weeks with my first. I've also been super constipated this entire pregnancy, but since having a few more contractions have been pooping like crazy and have here and there had some not so fun diarrhea (which I dealt with right before labor started with my first and throughout my entire induction after being diagnosed with preeclampsia). I just get a bit in my head because I was born early around 35 weeks I'm pretty sure and my husband was born between 31 and 32 weeks and with the risks and the way I'm feeling and also the many mamas I've seen just popping at this point in their pregnancies I'm just not sure I should be worried or not. I do have an appointment lined up in the next couple of days to check things and make sure I'm not dilating or anything like that, but I'm still just so paranoid.

Has anyone experienced thrush in early pregnancy? Currently waiting for the GP to ring me back to see what treatment is safe but it’s so uncomfortable. I read it’s common given the hormonal changes? x
