Increased Baby movements

Hello mamas😄
Today is my due date and no signs of labour yet! The midwife recommended a sweep but I am waiting for natural labour to hapn. Baby is extremely extremely active today! Is this it? Could my labour begin anytime soon? 😬

Unlike yourself I am not due until next Wednesday. If she’s not here the midwife will do a sweep 🧹

How was that by the way? Was it like a smear test?

However like yours, baby yesterday was very active and now I feel her going wild again now with an enormous feeling of a huge amount of pressure down there too 😂

Maybe it is natural labour? 💃🫣

I thought my waters had gone however think it was just urine (again) 😂😂😂

I hate there’s never a clear answer with pregnancy 🤰 xxx

Also my due date today, had stretch and sweep and been loosing my mucus plug since 29.8.23 but I'm only 1cm dilated rn. Hoping things will progress baby was active alot yesterday but went back to normal today so not sure what to think but everyone's different

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Braxton hicks

I’m currently 34 weeks and have been experiencing braxton hicks for the past few weeks however have been having cramps almost like very strong period cramps In my lower stomach. I’ve mentioned this to my midwife and she only really asked if I’d been keeping hydrated and taking my vitamins which I am but didn’t really proceed to tell me if this was normal or related to braxton hicks also, has anyone else experienced this?

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?
