Cramping/false labour

I’ve been loosing my mucus plug over the last two days but not had a bloody show and no signs of waters breaking and this evening It started with lower back cramps and I’ve now been getting really bad cramps, my stomach isn’t particularly hard all over or anything so I don’t think it’s Labour but my god it’s just not going away! Paracetamol hasn’t helped and nor has a warm bath! Baby is also moving like mad tonight I’m in a lot of pain and so uncomfortable 😞

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
