Sweep

Anyone know if I can ask for another sweep before the one im due to have next week? I had one 2 days ago and since then I have been having contractions lost my mucus plug and bloody show etc, I have been to the hospital twice and they sent me home as im not dilating anymore. I'm absolutely exhausted because the pains are getting so much so do you think there would be a way of getting one sooner?

You can have one every 48 hours so there’s no harm in asking. I had one Tuesday and going again today I just ready now x

do you know who to ask? Would it be the hospital x

Yes I would say so x

Are you full term

Can't see why not I had one Monday, one yesterday and if this one doesn't work I'm having another Sunday. It's my community midwife who had been doing them. Just get in contact with whoever did your first

Make some plans; go out for dinner, go to the cinema, book a massage, meet a friend for coffee. Babies seem to know when there’s something you want to do and decide that’s a good time to make an appearance!

Good luck with your birth, I hope it all goes smoothly. Take the time to practice resting, little one will be here soon 💕

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

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!
