Birthing ball making me want to pee

Is anyone else getting this when they’re bouncing or wobbling on the ball? Driving me mad as peeing loads anyway 😂

I think they recommend bouncing on them from 37 weeks x

I don’t but everything else seems to make me pee. Started practicing with my Elvie trainer already because still have 5wks to go 😂

you can use them all the way through.. think it helps some people with hip pain and then others meant to help with shifting baby etc etc ❤️

@Lexi you can use them for exercise (eg rotating etc as that's what I use them for, for my PGP exercises, but not to bounce until 37 weeks, physio and midwives words not mine)

maybe it is because I'm high risk of pre term labour but just what I was told as it encourages labour x

Oooh I thought you meant using them in general, .. good to know about bouncing. I can’t help but bounce when I sit on it 😂

you can bounce on them all way through pregnancy

I don’t nothing happens when I bounce on it

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
