I would say your cervix is starting to dilate and your body preparing for labour x i lost my mucus plug on Wednesday with some blood show, but nothing serious yet happening x

I’m 39+3 . My due date 4th October x . I still got time , but getting really inpatient 😂

funnily enough my private scan said I was due on the 4th, but the nhs said the 1st… so god knows, maybe it’s a little later than I’m thinking 😂 but yeah I agree, this end waiting game is worse than the entire pregnancy so far and I don’t know about you but I’m holding out for every single sign and then when it turns out to be nothing I’m just like “oh” 😂 xx

Same here , I thought it’s just me that was so impatient and holding out of any potential signs of labour 😂. My midwife gave me a hope when she told me I’m 2 cm dilated , so I thought that’s it baby coming very soon , unfortunately it’s not a case 😂😂

Am I making the right choice?

I have recently decided to go for an elective C-section.
If this was your last birth experience would you do the same? I know it’s an individual choice but I keep doubting myself but I just had such a bad time… 😞

It was a Vbac …. Ended with…

-episiotomy with forceps
-retained placenta
-2litres blood loss with transfusion.
-GBS positive (probably going to be positive again)
-since birth 4 years ago i have been having issues with bowel incontinence 🙈

Husband help

FTM
We have to have an early elective c section for medical reasons on Friday. My husband seems not to understand recovery at all, suggesting we have his brother's within the week and go out for dinner etc at 2 weeks as I should have 'recovered' by then. This seems too much to me, am I being unreasonable?

Questioning if I should be concerned

I had an etopic pregnancy last January which resulted in losing my right tube.

We just found out we were pregnant 2 weeks ago when I was 8dpo and since then, my line progression has done well. I ended up getting bloodwork done last week on Thursday which my hcg was 88 which I didn’t know until today after my ultrasound-

Today I am to be 5 weeks and 2 days well..

I had an ultrasound vaginal and stomach, I was told she couldn’t see anything and I was asking if we should be concerned. The nurse then told me what my hcg was on Thursday and said that it is very very early. I told her why we came early was to make sure we do not lose another tube. She said they wouldn’t see it until 6 plus weeks.

I just don’t know if I should be worried about her not seeing a gestational sac- nothing. And I was told to come back in 3 weeks.

Does my hcg of being 88 truly mean I am earlier then what I had thought.

Just looking for some comfort please, I don’t want to go through waves of feeling like everything is going to be alright and then crashing.

My line progression and flo dates I apparently ovulated on the 3rd of March

Should I be concerned. I am thinking to get more labs done to see what my hcg has went up to and hopefully they can tell me if it’s good or not.
