I’m 42+1 today and opted for daily monitoring, having induction Monday if nothing happens. I’ve accepted 2 sweeps. First one unsuccessful second one was successful but cervix is still high up and closed but lost bit of mucus today 🤞🏻

41 today, but keeping quite chilled about it because I'm convinced my due date isn't actually until Wednesday

Yes I’m currently 40+3 and have declined everything to date. I might consider a sweep at 41 weeks but hoping he comes in his own.

i didn't know we could go over 42 weeks because the midwifes and doctors made it seemed impossible. i had 2 sweeps booked and and induction but have contacted my midwife to cancel all... she hasn't replied since yesterday. wish u all the best xx

same! before i had my 12 weeks scan and when i put my dates in online it said my edd was in october but the scan showed september.

Avatar

consultants and doctors were pushing me for na earlier induction and sweep because of "babies weight". even tho they admitted it was difficult to measure babies weight on scan.

The scans are so inaccurate. At 12 weeks I was 70th centile, 20 weeks I was 32nd centile and 36 weeks I was 47th centile, so in my mind I think my due date is more accurate because I know when baby was conceived because I had flu when they say baby was conceived 😂😂😂

Aww thank you and yeah if your low risk then the option is there. They did say there are risks which is why it’s just a case of balancing them out so I decided to not let myself go too far over xx

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
