39+3 and I’m struggling so hard :( I thought baby would have been here by now - I really feel so let down! I’ve had every sign but it really feels like it’s all slowed down- my mucus plug left over a week ago I’ve had loose poos sickness soreness walking contractions and constant braxton hicks- I just don’t understand why she’s not here :(
I can’t do this anymore I really can’t and am only being offered a sweep at 41 weeks? That’s my next appointment! I just feel so left and not listened to
I’m so jealous of everyone having early babies 😭

I know exactly how you feel, I’ve been like this for a couple of weeks. I’m 40 weeks today and no baby yet but alll the signs.
I think I’ve done everything possible to encourage labour.
All of these signs are working towards getting baby out, they’re not for nothing.
You’ve got this xx
it’s so disheartening :( especially when you’ve done everything to encourage it
I’m so glad you understand and feel the same ❤️
Let’s hope our babies make an appearance soon!! All the best to you! Xx

And to you lovely. I hope your little girl doesn’t keep you waiting much longer! Xx

I’m the same hun 40+1 over here booked in for an induction next Friday but I want a natural birth after 3 failed sweeps it’s got to me abit but you can do it just believe in yourself and it will all be worth it xxx

Baby dictates their birthday, please don't be hard on yourself.
Relax, do things that drive oxytocin.
I truly thought my baby would be here as well, I'm 39+2. My first was 36 weeks and midwife and consultant both said would be surprised if I make it to 38 weeks. I was struggling loads when I went past that.
Now I'm just making the most of my time, meeting friends, lunch out, walks in the lovely weather ❤️ xx

Please don’t stress about it my baby came 39+5 which is also very common and I was booked for induction after my waters broke but I didn’t need it because when I got there I was 2 cms dilated, they offered the sweep which was slightly uncomfortable but would recommend because I had my baby within 7 hours of that sweep. Start expressing milk in preparation and keep yourself busy prepping for things because you will not have time later lol
Wishing you good luck and easy labour x
