36wk midwife appt

Those of you who are also having growth scans, what did your midwife do at your 36 week appt?
Will they still do an examination of my tummy? My midwife said there’s no point doing fundal height checks if I’m having growth scans but wondering whether they will do any checks to see if baby’s need is engaging?

The midwife always feels my belly and uses the doppler at my appointments 👍 they just won't measure the bump

They don’t measure ur bump if ur due a scan or had one within 2 weeks x

Seeing midwife Monday and then growth scan on the Friday. I know she’s still gonna be checking everything they need to also you can ask for the examination

My midwife hasn’t measured my bump at all because they knew I would have to have growth scans. To be honest I find them uncomfortable and inaccurate so I’m glad I’m not getting them

They still used the doppler though 😊

I’m having growth scans and my midwife is still measuring my fundal height at every appointment, along with Doppler and checking baby’s position

Thanks ladies! They’ve been telling me my fundal height is bigger but I had a growth scan at 34 weeks and little girl is just below average so I’m really not fussed on the measuring bump. Just want to know her position and if she’s starting to engage!
Good to know that I can just ask for an exam anyway though

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

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 really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
