38 week sweep

Hi everyone. I had a sweep yesterday first one as I’m due to be induced next week. I’ve had this after I’ve wiped today. What does this mean?

Could be some of your mucus plug ?

is that a good thing? I’m really not sure 🤣 x

Yeah as it has to come away before birth your sweep will have disturb it a bit x

Looks like your mucus plug and bloody show. It’s a good sign that you are starting to dilate. Just chill now and let your body do what it needs to do 😊

oh perfect! I hope it come to something 🤞🏼 x

It will do. Just give your body time. It’s normal for things to happen up to 5 days later so just have a lovely evening, relax and hopefully you’ll wake up during the night realising that you’re having contractions ☺️ happy birthing x

thank you so much! X

That’s your plug! Or at least part of it!

High risk

I’m considered high risk because I was fully dilated when I had an emergency C-section with my first and there’s risks I could go into pre term labour so I have cervical length scans every 2 weeks between 16-22/24 and I’m aloud to try for a vbac if I go into spontaneous labour by 40 weeks but I’ll have a planned C-section booked for week 40 ( which I’m really hoping doesn’t happen )Just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences I’m just very overwhelmed and hoping people have maybe had a good successful full term pregnancy & birth despite what IVE previously mentioned x

6.2 days no heart beat

So from my flo ap, I was supposed to be 6.2 days yesterday which is when I had an internal scan. everything was seen but no heartbeat :( she measured me at 2.2 mm which is more like 5+5 weeks but I’m freaking out. Any positive stories please :(

Growth Scan

I have a growth scan today because my fundal height measurement has stayed the same at 29cm from when I was 28+5 weeks. Now I'm 32+3. Has anyone else experienced this? It has made my growth chart go from just under 90th percentile to under 10th.

Name crisis

I was so decided on a name, now I'm having second thoughts. It's not a standard name and his middle name is set after my Dad, John. He's very traditional and I know he'll hate the first name I chose! Open to any ideas! I would love if the initials sounded right too! Again, middle name "John". Thank you ladies!! 😭💟

Which induction method??

Im at the hospital now for induction and dont know which method to go for.
I initially didnt want the balloon because the sweeps really hurt me and I feel it will be most uncomfortable but seems like the highest success rate? And no hormones.

What has everyone else done and recommend?

Sporting when wiping 18 weeks

Yesterday and today I’ve had on-off spotting when wiping. Should I be concerned?
