No signs of labour

I’ve seen loads of posts about changes people are seeing in their bodies - has anyone else had nothing?! No mucus plug or pains or anything? I’m 38+4 and wondering if no signs is normal at this point?! Anyone else?!

I’m 39 weeks today and honestly haven’t had much at all! I’ve had a couple of very mild pains when lying down or trying to sleep but I honestly think that’s just from being heavy and uncomfortable. So bored of waiting now haha! 🤣

38+4 here too and no signs either. Thankfully being induced Saturday, but even that could fail! 🤷🏻‍♀️ xxx

40+ weeks now and the only symptoms I get are braxton hicks that don’t hurt… strange that I want to wake up in pain every day 😅

I had absolutely nothing with my first - she was not in the mood to come out, but was due a natural labour/vaginal birth (though ended in induction and EMCS)

This time i'm due in for an elective section but getting twinges and losing my plug etc.

Just shows every pregnancy and baby is different so I really wouldn't stress about it my lovely though I know it's easier said than done ❤️

I didn’t have any signs with my first before labour 🩷 so it doesn’t always mean you’re far off

With my first baby I didn’t have any signs of labour at all! I chose to be induced at 41 weeks but often wonder what would have happened if I went to 42, would I have gone naturally or would I still have been induced 🤷🏼‍♀️
Not enough for me to wonder about it this time as I’ve still chosen a 41 week induction 😂 but I have had a lot of labour signs this time so hoping for a spontaneous labour 🤞🏼

I’m 40+ 6 and no signs of labour at all!

I'm 38 + 4 too! So far I've had a few short lived cramps over the last week and a half? And just looser bowels but otherwise I feel fine 😅 I'm having a c section next week due to my baby being breech so just hoping she doesn't try and make an early move!

I had no signs of labour with my first until my waters broke at 39+6 🤷‍♀️ I’ve had no signs again so far (38+5), I wouldn’t worry about it 😊

I’m 39+4 I had nothing, my water wet at 3:40am this morning & I’m currently now having contractions every 3-5 minutes.
Everyone is so different, you can’t compare pregnancies like you can’t compare babies

I’m 39 weeks + 3 days pregnant with my first! I haven’t experienced any signs of labor, however, I think I’m starting to lose my mucus plug tonight

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
