Covid 40+3 days pregnant

I had a sore throat and headache since last night didnt think anything of it just thought it was a general sore throat as lots going around but decide to do a covid test as my chest is really tight and came back positive.
Do i need to let midwife know?
Iam booked in for induction tomorrow and really want it to go a head as i have been booked in twice this week but they cancelled. Will they allow me to go ahead with induction or will they cancel again and reschedule? Has anyone had this happen to them.

Im 39+3 and have been seen in the hospital. They have a duty of care, regardless of if you have covid or not, if it’s in the best interest of your baby to be induced, then that’s what happens. Call your midwife and inform them of your test results, they’ll monitor you more closely. Good luck ♥️

So you have covid too and still allowed to go to your appointment?
Im being induced because of baby measuring big and they didnt want me to go over 40 weeks so was meant to go in on monday, they then cancelled to wednesday, then cancelled again to tomorrow and im just very worried they will cancel again knowing i have covid. Which will then be cancelled for a few days again so she will be much bigger as 3 weeks ago she was measuring 8lb1

Yes I tested positive on Tuesday and have been ill ever since! Went in to get monitored and still have scheduled appointments. They cannot cancel purely based on covid, it’s in her best interested to be born now and they have to honour that. Covid precautions are there for a reason 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would definitely tell them, I’m sure this has been pretty common over the last few years so they must have something in place for when things like this happen. Plus them knowing will give them the best chance at protecting other mums and newborns from catching it when you go in.

I would definitely tell them. First to protect them and second they will monitor you more during labour etc and make sure you breathe well etc. They will make sure to protect themselves and if they will probably ask the person who will be with you to also get tested for covid etc :)

I tested positive at 39 weeks and they asked me to wait until I was negative to come to hospital for my appt x

5 months today🥺

where has the time gone!!!

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Best way to be induced??

I just found out I may need to be induced early due to preeclampsia and having a generally bigger baby which of the ways to be induced do y’all recommended?

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!
