Has anyone had a positive story with their waters breaking at 35+5. I'm currently in hospital waiting for my contractions to ramp up... Just wanted something positive as my head is going mad xx
I’m just posting as feeling super nervous - had my 36 week growth scan yesterday and baby is already supposedly 8lb 4! Which is way above what she should be - don’t have a consultant apt until Monday - feeling so nervous as this is my first baby and scared about giving birth to a whopper. Would they still wait till I’m 37 weeks before inducing ?? Scared she will have grown a lot in that space of time …
Just looking for some reassurance, I had a c section for my first a year ago and just found out I’m pregnant again (not planned) we wanted another but we were gonna wait 18 months! Genuinely not sure how this has happened! But I’m anxious about my scar and having to have a C section again.
Does anyone know the test that is done to see if waters is broken how accurate it is or what they actually do? Is it just someone having a look inside or do they send a swab sample off to the lab? Is the swab sample to check for infection or to check for waters rupturing? Thanks ☺️
How long did everyone’s baby passports take to come in the UK?
Hi all. I’m 29+2 and just had my 28 week midwife appointment. Baby boy is measuring in the 97th percentile 😅 my midwife mentioned possible induction or c section if he carries on along that line. Has anyone whose babies were measuring big gone down that route? The thought of not being able to have a water birth really saddens me so just want some thoughts/experiences.
