Latent labour

So today I've had alot of pressure down below and got backache. I am nauseous today as well as having a few heaving fits.

I got check on Friday and was 1cm dilated, I'm quite wet down there as well (sorry tmi) I'm wondering if it's early labour now

This is literally me today as well! I haven’t been checked if I’m dilated as it only started last night! But I’ve told myself if I feel like it tomorrow I’m going to get checked! Hope you’re okay x

Yeah I'm okay just feel uncomfortable, meant to be meeting some friends but it just so much pressure down there, I can't sit still for long x

You’ve just described exactly what I started experiencing last night. The pressure, back aches and wetness. My partner kept asking if we should head in to get checked but I said no and to just wait and see what happens. It was very uncomfortable but not painful. I haven’t been checked but I know baby’s heads engaged. Bring on the birthing ball helped with it and managed to get some sleep. How many weeks are you? I’m 37+3 so not worried if it’s early labour as I’m getting induced soon anyways. Hope all goes well for you x

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

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

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 😂🥲
