40 weeks.. still waiting.

40 weeks today and this dude just doesn't seem to want to come. 3cm but still so high up there 🥴 My OB doesn't want to induce when he's so high, but won't let me go past 42 weeks. Please cross your fingers for me that this little guy makes his entrance soon, smoothly! I'm tired 😴

Today is also my 18th anniversary, so I'm glad he hasn't arrived *this* day, he deserves his own day. But any day now would be *fantastic!* 🤞

@María My boy has been measuring a week+ ahead as well the whole time. Was estimated to be 7.7 lbs over a month ago. I'm really surprised I'm still going. Hope your phone call comes soon and induction is smooth for you!

Same boat 😵‍💫 I’m 41 weeks today and just 1.5cm 80% effaced, baby boy still high. Have following up appointment on Thursday and they’ll induce me if nothing has happened by then. They wouldn’t let me go over 42 weeks either and for what I’ve read is not good for baby to stay inside longer than that. Hoping that all our babies come down in their own 🙏🏽💜

@Andrea Yeah, I've read that too. My first one 14 years ago was a week late before she decided to come on her own. And 2nd daughter was an induction. My friend just informed me her c-section was done because her daughter was late and wouldn't drop. Now I'm super nervous 🙈 Crossing my fingers for you that he drops by then! Stuborn boys, apparently lol

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Boy or girl🩷💙

Any guesses? Having a private scan tomorrow and gender reveal Sunday!! This was an emergency scan today at 16 weeks🤭
