I’m 40+3 and still nothing šŸ˜…

I think I’m going to be in your boat!! Have you had a sweep? I have one Friday booked in! Then at this point think I’d accept an induction if it doesn’t work! X

Avatar

no nothing yet, I have a appointment with my midwife tomorrow, so I will see what she says! I was absolutely convinced something was happening yesterday, I had dropped even more to the extent it was hard to walk and getting cramping and then went to bed, woke up absolutely nothing šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø LO is far far too comfy in here 🤣x

Avatar

I was the same Sunday. Convinced and then woke up and nothing and then was miserable for the whole day yesterday!! Although feeling better today, took myself out for a dog walk. Kind of feels like a waiting game now.
See I don’t even think I’ve dropped either. Too bloody comfortable!! Xx

40 weeks on Saturday and still nothing other than braxton hicksšŸ˜‚honestly if i don’t laugh i will cry. He is clearly having a time in there🫠

Avatar

yes I feel fine to be honest! Minor pains but that’s about it!

Some people don’t have waters break until during labour, or never even see/notice mucus plug or waters šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø lost my plug around week 36, three weeks later and no bebe…

Avatar

Feeling pretty normal and like nothing is happening, lol! How about you?? x

Avatar

40 weeks 4 days! I’ve had aches and pains all night then nothing in the day! Hard not to get frustrated šŸ™ƒ

Avatar

absolutely same. I do feel pains when I stand up and walk but presume that’s because I’m so heavy and it’s just uncomfortable on my hips and back but definitely no signs he’s ready to come out!!

Avatar

Same! I’ve had on and off period cramps, BHs are a bit stronger at night but that’s literally it! I’m debating what I want to do next or if I want to wait it out!

Avatar

I’ve decided that I’m having a sweep on Friday with my midwife. If that doesn’t work I’m going to choose an induction. Wouldn’t have had an induction prior to the 40 weeks but I think once I’m over it’s more than likely I would be around 41 weeks by the time I’m offered one. I read so many bad things about them but I genuinely believe they are all individual!

What are your thoughts on sweeps/inductions? X

Avatar

I just sent you a PM. I think I’m more open to a sweep than induction and I’m hoping as I’ll be over 40 weeks it may work?!

Avatar

Is anyone else aching all over? It’s my due date today & no signs

Avatar

Yes i am! 5days ā€œoverā€ currently! Hang in there!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

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 šŸ˜‚ arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
