Anyone else overdue and fed up of waiting?

I am now 40+4 and I am getting completely fed up, really want to avoid an induction but thinking it might be the only way to get him out at this point. Don't think this hot weather is helping either, not lost my plug, getting some tightenings in the evenings but then they just go. Just feeling helpless!

Yes!!! I'm 40+ 2. Getting nervous now as I have no signs or symptoms. Really don't want to be induced I want my body to do it. Back at midwife when 41 weeks for another sweep and book induction. Trying to not over think or get wound up, she's obviously comfy but come onnnnnnn

Feel exactly the same! It’s really hard to try and relax it’s like I end up symptom spotting and thinking what if this is something do I need to make note of the time or something daft x

it's so annoying isn't it! Just as you think oh maybe this is the start of something and think I'll wake up in the night with my waters going etc. Then wake up the next day to nothing different and just feeling the same. People messaging saying "any movements" 🙄

Have you tried a sweep? Might be the next option before the go for the induction. Got everything crossed baby makes their appearance soon. X

I've not had any sweeps yet, have a midwife appointment this afternoon so hopefully can have one then and hopefully it triggers something! x

Yup! I'm due today and don't have any signs of anything happening I have midwife appointment at half 3 she's doing me a sweep so I'm just praying that works. This heat keeps making me feel dizzy!xx

🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m 40+3 and have zero signs of anything. There’s only so much ball bouncing and “relaxing” I can do!

40+1 and won’t be getting an induction. I’m going straight to c-section if she doesn’t come soon :)

Same, 40 +4, keep getting false labour pains. Midwife said I’m in slow latent labour basically as I am dilated 2cm. But just so fed up now. Especially in this weather 🥵

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!
