41+1, 2 sweeps and still no change.

Had a sweep at 40+3, and another at 40+6. My cervix was favourable at 40+6 (bishop score of 9) but despite losing plug, having mild contractions and cramping, it all seems to have ground to a halt. Anyone else experienced this and gone into labour naturally ? Trying to stay positive but finding it tricky. I know everyone says 'baby will come when they're ready' but it's hard not to doubt it at this point! Particularly when our midwife had been so positive on Friday that we should go into spontaneous labour this weekend 😣

Following as I am 40+3 atm and no sign at all. Have another sweep booked for 41+1. I totally understand and get where you are at. Hoping baby will just come naturally before 42 weeks x

I feel you hun!
I’m 41+1, had sweeps at 39+3, 40+3 and 40+5
I feel like some nights I’ve had tightenings and my morning it’s all stopped

Last couple of days had back ache similar to period pains but then nothing else seems to kick in

Seeing midwife 41+3 and will get my 4th sweep then
And I’ve been told I’ll be induced by 41+5 🥵 x

I’m 40+5, can’t get a sweep, cervix is still closed : /

These babies just don't want to come out 😢x

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Possible blood clot on the lung /VQ scan

Has anyone had a VQ scan for possible blood clots. As I need to have to have one and concerned due to the radiation and possible risk of baby having childhood cancer.

Baby girl names

Love pretty shorter names such as Millie, Gracie, Lottie. My husband only likes Millie and I’m struggling to find anything else he likes! However I’m not 100% on Millie.

Love Lilly, Maisie, Isabelle, Tilly but sadly can’t use these sadly.

We have a little boy called Oliver (Ollie).

Middle name will be Rae.

Any ideas?🙈

Review at 36 weeks

Has anyone had An anesthesia review at 36 weeks?
What is this for as I never had this with my first?
I am being scanned every 3 weeks as my first was small and now my second is measuring small.

Anyone else still feeling really good

If I hadn’t of had a scan I wouldn’t believe I was pregnant. I was tired with sore boobs and this is still the case but no where near as much. I feel so good. I am incredibly bloated though but I can deal with that. My first pregnancy I suffered with dizziness really bad so this is a pleasant change.

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
