Baby is soo loowww

Midwife said baby was 2/5 engaged yesterday but he has dropped more I'm sure!

I keep getting stabbing and pressure in the top of my vagina and feel very very heavy. Its very uncomfy to sit as well so been on the ball.

Anyone feeling like this? 38+1.. wondering if labour is imminent.

Snap… I’m 39 weeks today though

I'm exactly the same I'm 38+4 and I feel so much pressure down below that even when I try to walk I feel like I've got a dam down there waiting to explode.. no joke I can't cope anymore 😫

I feel the same, 39 weeks tomorrow!
Lots of pressure and sharp pains down there 🤔
I sAw the midwife yesterday and on my notes she’s written fetal station is -2?

So I was 1/5 engaged on the 14th and was feeling like this. The pressure was awful and I felt like he was about to fall out 🤣 My midwife appointment yesterday at 38+5 she didn’t actually say but I don’t think he’s engaged as much any more as I’m not feeling that pressure as much any more and if I’m not wrong (someone please correct me) it doesn’t really mean much as they can kinda bob in and out of engagement 😭

I’m 38+5 and exactly the same. I’m getting dull aches & like a grinding feeling if I move my hips in a certain way. I’m 3/5 engaged xx

Has anyone had period pain too?

Yeah I know they can pop up and down 🤣 its uncomfy.

Hayley I had period cramps for like 4 hours Sunday, then on and off since as well.

Trying not to read too much into everything but I really wana meet this lad! Xx

I’ve also had period like pains on and off for days now.
I know I’m so ready for him to make an appearance! I was adamant I’d have a September baby 🫠 how wrong I was 🤣🤣 xx

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?

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!

Boy or girl🩷💙

Any guesses? Having a private scan tomorrow and gender reveal Sunday!! This was an emergency scan today at 16 weeks🤭
