39 weeks

Ugh I am getting frustrated. I have been 70% effaced for 2 weeks… and I am still not dilated. Like nothing. They tried to do a membrane sweep and they couldn’t get in to do it. They want me to schedule an induction and said it was going to be a loooooong induction. They are going to have to give me a pill to dilate me to just get the balloon in. I just want meet my daughter and not be pregnant.

Have you been trying raspberry leaf tea or dates or evening primrose oil?

I have been doing tea and dates. I am getting primrose oil today, as well as stuff for a labor smoothie that my doctor gave me.

Great. Yeah sometimes that stuff can help and then sometimes baby doesn’t want to do anything. Hopefully it’ll help soon. Is this your first? Sometimes with firsts you go way over your due date too

I feel this. My dr scheduled me an induction a week from today 😭 I’ve been 70% effaced and 2 cm dilated as of 2 weeks ago too

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?

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

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

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!
