In our hospital trust we had a printout with all of the information that they check at 20 weeks and the sex was on there. We asked her to put it in an envelope so we didn’t see it and we did a private gender reveal just for so we got the gender at that time.
I’m not sure, but they didn’t tell us the gender or even ask us if we wanted to know. It wasn’t even mentioned. It was quickly rushed at the end when we asked and she just said “I’m not sure, sorry!” My husband was fuming
So we booked a private scan for the following day as we were a bit gutted.
babies are head down now and if it wasn't for the prospect of potentially have a vaginal recovery and a section recovery at the same time, I'd be opting for vaginal all day long. Rip me open and stitch me up bcus at least it ain't 7 layers of tissue/skin/organ.
Feel you on the men! And when they do start, they’re in a bad mood in about 0.2 seconds!Long time no speak, hope everyone is doing well!
I see we've had a baby born!!!!🤍 And some new names around here!!
Me and the girlies have made it to 34+5 and it's all starting to go bits up. Baby B is measuring 20% behind A all of a sudden, so could be a growth restriction going on. Her femur is measuring like 30 weeks as opposed to 34 weeks. I think the sonographer is tit though. She never sounds confident. Scans have been sent to a fetal medicine specialist for review so awaiting a phone call. Placentas and fluid are being chcked twice a week now and growth scan every week. Got to have an iron infusion on Monday too as apparently they don't know how I'm functioning my iron is so low.
Got kept in yesterday due to high BP. Not bloody surprised after they told me we need to be referred to a fetal medicine specialist. CTG showed babies going crazy which was lovely to see as I don't feel them that much due to anterior placentas covering most of the front/sides.
Section is booked for 37+2 but it's likely now that'll be brought forward. Baby A is estimated 5lbs currently and Baby B is around 4lbs. Obviously it's never accurate, but hopefully if they need to come out sooner they're good weights currently...
Still spiralling about a section. Worried so much about how long and painful recovery will be along with them getting the spinal in me in the first place. I'm told bcus it's my first it shouldn't be too long or painful
Also, what is it with men avoiding the jobs that need doing? Asked husband to build the cots with me about 6 weeks ago. Kept asking. Never got done, so did it myself. Still haven't built the next to me, or the moses baskets. The room is still a tit tip and he needs to help move some stuff around. Not sure when he's going to get the hint that these babies could be pulled out any day!!! Maybe he's in denial.
Anyway, that's my update. Enough from me.
I had similar news but mine was previa meaning covering the cervix. Thankfully the majority of them move I think 9 times out of 10 they move and if you haven't had a section then chances are high too cuz you won't have scaring ! I had a scan at 28 weeks due to a bleed and I was told my placenta has moved - your uterus grows so much that it will likely move up
I've been waiting for an update! So sorry things have taken a turn for the worst, hopefully all will be okayLong time no speak, hope everyone is doing well!

In my personal experience it was gradual.I’m so glad everything’s okay, that must have been scary! X
If anyone who has graduated from the first tri can confirm if feeling less deathly is a gradual or a sudden process, I’d be very grateful
I’ve not see one on here but Reddit has one which is great. Accurately predicted girl for me from loads of people.
I had a low lying placenta too. I was told in the majority of cases (including mine) it rectifies itself. We had an extra scan booked in at 36 weeks to check the placenta had indeed moved but we also had an extra growth scan at 28 weeks and we asked then and the placenta had already moved. If it hadn’t moved the required amount by 36 weeks then it would be a c section because if you go into natural labour there’s a higher risk of severe bleeding. I ended up with a section anyway but not related to that.
Maybe low blood sugar or blood pressure? I’ve had that feeling a few times this pregnancy and it’s almost a sense that something bad is about to happen but it always goes away again. Sometimes for me it’s followed by a slightly upset stomach / weird bowel movement but not always. I’ve never had it checked out as it isn’t constant and my bloods have all been fine. Apart from just been told I have low iron/ not quite anaemia and have started on tablets so that might have been part of it. Heard horror stories about iron tablets but have been fine so far!
It could be I guess but everything came back normal at my midwife app!! I’ll ask when I go in 2 weeks time what it could be. Thanks for your reply though it’s reassured me a little
congrats on your pregnancy xxThere’s many Facebook groups for it
