Induction

Has anyone had the gel induction route? How May rounds of the gel until you went in labour. Just had my second round and my cervix is open. I’m really trying my hardest to avoid the drip🤞🏾.

So iv had 3 gels cervix now open enough to break waters. Apparently the gel is only used to open and soften the cervix. After this waters are broken, they wait to see if contractions starts on their own, if not then you have the hormone drip to make this happen.
The wait for me is waiting to go down for waters broken, I was ready on Tuesday and haven’t gone down yet x

I am just getting my second gel after the pessary thing which I had first for 24 hrs. My cervix is open but not enough so the second gel is to try and soften it a bit more too. I’m finding it quite a tiring experience. How are you finding it?

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

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 😂🥲
