Ahhh she's beautiful ❤️ congratulations. I just had my little one at 40+2 and she was 8lbs 2. Have you found Isla is little in size for what you expected with an 8lb baby? X

thank you! 🫶🏼 congratulations to you!

I actually don’t weirdly xx

Congratulations Emily she’s absolutely gorgeous! Her hair. 😍😍🥰

ah my little ones having to wear tiny baby clothes. Isla's hair is lush. Enjoy every second and stay in the baby bubble as long as you can 💓

we took tiny baby and had to go out and get different bits for the little chunk love her!

We really will and you 🩷

my experience was a very long one! If she wasn’t back to back I think it would have been so much easier!

As hard as it was I loved every minute! The pushing was the easiest part 🥹

Good luck xx

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow
