How long did you wait after a c-section to try for another baby? 👶🏻

Myself and other women I know have all been told different timeframes of when is safest etc so I’m just curious about the experiences of others

Currently being induced & baby not in right position (back to back/sunny side up!)

Okay so I knew that baby was back to back at my 38w appt, I didn’t think much of it as just assumed that baby would correct his position closer to the time. Yesterday, due to my background of low Papp A and concerns about reduced movements, I went in for induction at 39+4 and had the pessary inserted at midnightis...

Didn’t measure bump

Had my 28 week appointment today, only 3 weeks late due to my midwife thinking I’d gone into labour already(?) Anyway, all they did was ask me how I was feeling, if baby was moving as normal and they checked my blood pressure/urine. They listened to baby’s heart and said baby was head down, but they didn’t measure m...

If my child has a hyphenated last name do i always have to give people (like doctors offices, etc) both last names to look up or just 1?

My daughter has a hyphenated last name. When I go into doctors offices I always have to say "her last name is hyphenated so it's blah-blah" and I'm just wondering if I have to do that or if I'm just making it harder for myself, and maybe I can use just one of the last names?

38 weeks induction vs c-section due to pre-eclampsia

I am borderline diagnosed with pre-eclampsia due to blood results. A doctor today at hospital has recommended induction/csection later this week when I am 38 weeks due to me being very high risk of developing pre-eclampsia risks. We have discussed the options around induction vs c-section and I've been booked in f...

Would you??

Would you leave your sleeping 4.5 yr old upstairs, while you go downstairs to catch up with an old friend? My child goes to bed around 830, I just found out a long time friend lives super close to me, but she gets off of work at 8pm so our only time to catch up would be after my son goes to bed. I don’t want to inv...

Engaged/Dilated?

This is my first pregnancy & it might be a stupid question 😂 but I keep seeing loads of ladies on here saying “I’m 37 weeks & 2/5ths engaged & 3cm dilated” But how do you find that out? Is it through an internal examination with the midwife or something? I’m currently 37 + 5 and got a midwife apt this Thursday so…
