Help!

Hi ladies, so I’m 39 weeks and oh my am I over being pregnant now! Anyone could any ways to help naturally induce labour? I’ve eaten all the pineapple, pumping my breasts and I don’t get off my ball!
I’m getting impatient and I just wanna feel human again 🫣 Anyone got any ideas? 😊

Unrelated to your question but I noticed your post location and I also live in Ashford and giving birth at Tunbridge Wells 🥰

I’m Edenbridge and I’m due to give birth at Tunbridge Wells too ☺️

I'm from tunbridge wells 2!! Also 39 +2 giving birth at pembury x

Any signs your bubba is going to make an appearance?! I got absolutely nothing! Lol!

@Lisa nope nothing! I had pineapple,dates ,hot curry just been for a walk with the dog been bouncing on the ball, just worried longer she's in there the bigger she gets 😬. And it's way to hot for sex! Will be interesting what my midwife says on Monday I don't want to be induced I rather have a c section.

I’m saying the same issue with nothing working, I’m 39 now. Could you not ask for a stretch and sweep? X

I know I’m the same! I said to my other half bump hasn’t measured big but the longer it’s cooking the bigger it will be 😂 I am hoping we can just wait for the heatwave to end and then they appear! 🤞🏻

I don’t even know if that’s even a thing 🤣I just heard people throw that around! X

Drink lemon aid or eat fresh lemon cupcake.

And sex

I’m the same! 39 weeks and nothings working. And my biggest pet peeve is people commenting ‘she’ll come when she’s ready…’ 😒😒😒
I really don’t think anything actually helps induce labour anymore and it’s just pot luck when it happens! 😩😩

oh I feel you, I’m due to have him in a birthing centre so if I get induced I can’t have him there😫 so I’m hoping maybe something can help so I could have him where I wanted. I just keep getting told it will happen when it happens ! X

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

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!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !
