Ideas for entertainment for co-ed baby shower/baby party!

We’re having our baby shower/baby party soon with mine and my husbands friends so it’s a bit more of a celebration and party than a shower.

So far we have some “wishes for baby” cards and prediction cards. We’re also doing outdoor games like limbo, giant jenga etc but starting to worry people will be bored! Any ideas welcome :) we’ll be doing nibbles and drinks as well.

Induction or elective c section?

Hi ladies, I am 40+1 today. I had a sweep on Friday where my midwife told me my cervix was soft (which she said was good) but it was still high up (Not so good). She's booked me in for another sweep on Friday and she also booked me for an induction this Sunday coming (1 week after my due date which was yesterday). I felt more told than asked which was also not ideal. Ideally I go into labour naturally this week but I am really considering opting for an elective c-section over an induction. What are everyone's thoughts?

Anyone with experience of either it would be really helpful to hear from you as I am a FTM and I have seen research that induction often leads to C-section anyway.

Labour inducing tricks!

I’m 39 weeks and 2 days and I need natural ways to get this baby out. I’ve tried walking, exercising, being intimate, doing things I enjoy (to release oxytocin), raspberry tea, dates (on and off as I really don’t like them), ball exercises, colostrum, and I think that’s it so far. Any other tricks I’m not currently trying? Or any of the above that worked for you that I could try more of. I’m willing to try anything that’s safe at this point!

16 week midwife appointment

I had my 16 week midwife appointment when i was 18 weeks. I just felt like it was a waste of time, she checked my BP and that was it. Said she’ll next see me at around 24 weeks. We didn’t get to listen to the heartbeat or anything

pelvic girdle pain post c-section

Hiya! I’m currently 6 weeks post c-section, since been 4 weeks I’ve started having pelvic girdle pain and my bones cracking constantly, and severe discomfort with my pelvis that causes me pain when walking and severe discomfort laying in bed, i find that after a walk is when the discomfort is worse and it puts me down for the rest of the day I am seeing the doctor about this issue tomorrow
But I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and what they have found that improves this? Thankyou🧡
