You are correctI got that bitSorry should have been more specific - around it? The length of it? I just can’t understand how that could be vaguely telling if they have no measurement to start with.
Oh yah I'm 38 weeks! They tell me my bump measurement and it's recorded on the card I keep but they've never mentioned the word percentile and I've never heard women in Ireland mention it either.Are you far enough to have your bump measured?
That's usually when it starts
Or a growth scan later on
Oh I wish I could give you a hugCan’t stop crying today we ended things last night I feel so guilty about getting upset because of baby but I’m so upset and scared
What you’re feeling is natural , and exasperated by pregnancy hormones no doubt. Write down how you would like your future to look for you and baby and focus on achieving that now moving forward. You have indicated the relationship wasn’t the best , so focus your energy on better things that you know can work. Best of luck xxxCan’t stop crying today we ended things last night I feel so guilty about getting upset because of baby but I’m so upset and scared
It’s such a rude question isn’t it?! I mean I just say yes (cos it was) but I can’t believe anyone would ask!When people ask you if baby was planned or not (believe it or not, we’ve had it multiple times, most recently this evening!) what do you say?
I mean that’s fairIt’s such a rude question isn’t it?! I mean I just say yes (cos it was) but I can’t believe anyone would ask!
I say not exactly planned but wasn't far off the cards anyway. It is such a rude question, and I also got rude commentary because ours wasn't planned. Difference between unplanned and "a mistake" which some people can't see so I've gotten a good few rude comments!When people ask you if baby was planned or not (believe it or not, we’ve had it multiple times, most recently this evening!) what do you say?
Omg I had so many people ask this!! So nosey!When people ask you if baby was planned or not (believe it or not, we’ve had it multiple times, most recently this evening!) what do you say?
I just say it’s none of your business. I fucking hate that question it’s so rude and intrusiveWhen people ask you if baby was planned or not (believe it or not, we’ve had it multiple times, most recently this evening!) what do you say?
I’m under consultant care and had a forcep birth last time, I’m likely to be having a section this timeSo apparently i'm officially under consultant care now for a few things. It's reassuring as I feel they are covering all bases but I'm now on lots of new drugs including daily injections, eep!
So due to a family risk of blood clots i'm now on blood thinning injections. Is anyone else on these? I was quite surprised. I've been told i'll need to inject myself daily until I go into labour. On the bright side one of the things in the whole pregnancy/birth process i've been most scared of was that I might have more chance of having a fatal clot so it eases that anxiety if inconvenient.
My over-efficient placenta can sometimes indicate that I could develop pre-eclampsia at a later stage apparently, though currently my blood pressure is all good. So i'm on a higher dose of aspirin now. Also extra scans to monitor little man's growth, but i'm seeing that as a positive thing as i will get to see him that bit more
Also found out from my mum today that the reason she had 2 forcep births, when she was very young and with small babies was because she has a very small pelvic opening which only became apparent during birth... poor woman. I have the same build as her and i'm bricking it now... ! Is it worth just asking for an elective caesarean rather than dealing with that, assuming it's likely i'm the same?
Same here! Plus I didn’t want to tell people we were trying because, then they would assume if I didn’t get pregnant within a certain amount of time; something could potentially be wrong.To be honest I find the whole thing a little strange, even when people ask are you trying.... I'm not a prude about sex whatsoever, very open about it, but just bugs me that's a convo people think is appropriate. Never mind bringing in fertility issues to it! I've found people's commentary tough to be honest. It's really bugged me, I just try not to listen to it.
I noticed a habit of people who got pregnant on their “first try” to be really keen to tell me. This is for no one’s benefit but their own - and tbh is hard to swallow when your journey to motherhood looked quite different.To be honest I find the whole thing a little strange, even when people ask are you trying....

I was at a birthday party not long after my second miscarriage, someone was there with her newborn which was hard enough so I avoided it, came back from the toilet to someone asking when I’ll be giving my mum a grandchild.. “surely it’s your turn soon” people are just shitTo be honest I find the whole thing a little strange, even when people ask are you trying....
