That’s amazing! That’s the thing I’m worried about if I have a section is the recovery glad you’ve had a good experience!I had my section on the Thursday, and by Monday I walked the mile into town for Starbucks. You know, essentials. C Sections are still seen as major surgery; I had a PICO wound pump on for over a week, and I struggled with breastfeeding as my milk didn’t come in for 3/4 days. We were questioned on our dates too, but I’m an insane person who writes everything down, and I was on nights on their predicted conception date. Not a chance

THANK YOU! I really appreciate hearing other women’s perspectives. Yeah I’m terrified I’m going to have a huge headed gangly babyHi lovely, I have 2 big headed babies here, off the chart on scans, off the chart at birth and definitely off the chart now they are 3 and 1. Please DO NOT WORRY. I cannot stress this enough. They LOVE worrying pregnant women about things like head sizes. We even got absolutely terrified into ours having something called ventriculomegaly (enlarged brain ventricles), had to have SO many extra scans including ones at a specialist foetal medicine but their actual diagnosis was that they just had big heads in the end which meant big brainsMy mum was told we had giant heads too (I really do have a big head to this day
) and delivered us safely and absolutely fine naturally, I only had a c section because my eldest got stuck in my pelvis but not due to his head size at all or shoulder dystocia at all. You get the impression that they’ll come out with heads double the size of their bodies but I promise you with my whole heart that they won’t, you won’t even think they’ve got a big head because it’ll be in proportion. If you feel more comfortable having an elective then push for one, but your baby will not be bigger than your body can handle I can promise you that. Shoulder dystocia isn’t usually to do with large heads and 9/10lbs is a really good projecting weight but these things are never the full picture and quite often are innacurate. Sorry for the waffle but I really hope you’re okay, try and keep your chin up

My consultant appointment isn’t until 35 weeks so not sure how quickly it’ll be booked in if I decide to go for it either!?
Yes my midwife said she was pushing the buggy round the park in ten days. I’ve seen my sister in law go through it twice aswell so I have seen how difficult recovery can be.I had my section on the Thursday, and by Monday I walked the mile into town for Starbucks.

We know our date quite clearly aswell as it happens so few and far between
blind drunk after a wonderful dinner party with friends 
37 weeks today and I'm so miserable and hormonal. I thought I'd be happy as I finished work last week and am free as a bird, but I feel so lethargic and tit, and then guilty because I'm not enjoying this precious free time. I'm sure the relentless rain has something to do with it too. I had a list of things to do like sort out photos, practice lots of hypnobirthing etc but I just can't be assed with any of it and have spent most of today scrolling my phone or moping. Someone snap me out of it 
No advice but just be kind to yourself and don’t beat yourself up for having days where you’re not so proactive37 weeks today and I'm so miserable and hormonal.

I only finished work on Friday and today I've felt down in the dumps. Been trying to keep busy but honestly wonder if I would be happier at work because at least I would have a routine. Keep thinking to myself wtf am I going to do for the next 3 and a bit weeks (or longer if she's late!)I feel like the more productive I am the happier I feel even though I know I also need to take it easy. Today I had a long lie in and didn't leave the house which probably made me feel worse so I'm gonna try to avoid doing that again. Hopefully this is just a blip for both of us! Sun's out and it's warmer in a couple of days where I am so hopefully that makes a difference as well, even just being able to sit out in the garden and not feel cold feels like a treat these days!I'm so glad you wrote this, I feel exactly the same
Regarding Amazon prime day, I had a baby monitor in my basket and today went to buy it and it hadn’t gone down in price, I clicked on the baby monitor and there was the new prime day price. I had to add that to my basket and delete the other one out. I got £40 off. So if your basket hasn’t gone down in price may be worth just checking in case the product itself has

I've done exactly the same today, didn't get up until 10am and stayed in all day! I have done things around the house and sorted my hospital bag but haven't been anywhere. Made a list of things I need to buy and going to get up early(ish!) and go into town tomorrow then meet my friend for lunch so hopefully that will help. Hope you have a better day too
Hahaha the fear is real I totally get it but I promise they’ll be perfect. In our trust they book c sections in for around 39 weeks and you hear the date the week before, it’s wildTHANK YOU!

xxxDon't be too hard on yourself...just listen to your body and relax. I went off work 2 weeks before my due date and I hadn't an ounce of energy. I did nothing except watch movies and sleep. Don't get frustrated about doing nothing, let it be.37 weeks today and I'm so miserable and hormonal.

Which one did you get? - If you don’t mind sharing please!Regarding Amazon prime day, I had a baby monitor in my basket and today went to buy it and it hadn’t gone down in price, I clicked on the baby monitor and there was the new prime day price.

No of course not, I ended up going with the babymoov Yoo moov 360 motorised video baby monitor. I hope it’s a good oneWhich one did you get? - If you don’t mind sharing please!
. I was eyeing up the angel care and then the BT 5000 and then the owlet but I saw a babymoov monitor on the baby show yesterday so looked into it a bit more. For the price it better be good ha.
I’m in floods of tears this morning as it’s my first day after 2 weeks off sick. It’s honestly pathetic!
Sending you a virtual hug! X
I hope it goes ok x
Well we announced yesterday! Strangely no one suspected a thing even though I have a pretty big ish bump for my figure . Everyone took it really well which I wasn’t expecting! (Not got a great family dynamic tbh but that’s for another thread) Still feel a bit sad how the whole world knows now as a family member posted it on Facebook within minutes of us leaving theres so family found out through fb before we could get to them and they were the firsts family we told. I really liked keeping it just between me and my partner and close friends for those 20 weeks. Like we were all in this exciting pregnancy bubble together with no stresses but it is what it is I guess

Ah there’s always one who’s straight on FB! We’ve only told our close family and friends so far. Although a friend of mine keeps tagging me in baby things on FB/insta so pretty sure it will be easy for people to work outWell we announced yesterday!

Argh! How annoying, why do people feel the need to post other people’s business on socials?!Well we announced yesterday! Strangely no one suspected a thing even though I have a pretty big ish bump for my figure
My partners aunt congratulated us on my one of statues when it was really early days and it was like WTF! I have work colleagues and such that obviously were unaware. Luckily deleted it early but honestly.
Literally! I hadn’t even got round to messaging my best friend that we found out we were having a baby girl because she was on shift and I wanted to video call her when she finished. She checked fb on her break and saw family memeber had revealed it I have the said family member blocked on Facebook to so didn’t even see it myself until said friend sent me screenshots 
now I have family members being off with me because they found out on fb before we got the chance to tell them as well. But said family member who posted it would’ve been extremely funny if they weren’t first to know. Ah my family dynamics I hate
