Sweep at 38 weeks?

Hi guys, can i ask my midwife to do a sweep there and then at my next appointment next week when I will be 38 weeks? Or can I ask her to check if I’m dilated, a lot of people seem to have had their cervix checked and I haven’t had any of that and she’s never mentioned it to me 😭 I get horrendous PGP and I’m just wondering if I can ask for either of this at 38 weeks?

If it’s your first baby, they’re unlikely to give you a sweep.

My midwife was adamant that I couldn’t have one as it was my first baby, and they’d like for her to come in her own time! 😭

My midwife said they have to offer them at 38 weeks, but not sure if that's our NHS trust or across the country

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

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 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
