Get as many sweeps as you can I has my 3rd sweep on 40 w + 4 at 10am and I went into labour that evening at 11pm x

38+2 today and water broke yesterday morning🙈 right now at the delivery unit to have induction 🤞🏿🤞🏿

I was impatient was 40+2 n had a sweep worst thing I ever done cause it’s basically an induction the pain is 10x worse. Baby will come when baby is ready they say u have from 37 weeks to 42 before it becomes a concern.

39+5 braxton hicks increased in the days leading up. Fully engaged from 36w

41 weeks, just glad I didn't have to be induced.

40 exactly! We had sex that morning, and then I spent all day laying a floor (on my hands and knees) I truly believe that's what got him moving, there's a reason they say to scrub the floors!

Waters broke at 39+3, had her at 39+4. I literally had no signs until my waters broke

Hey. My waters broke at 38+2 on New Year’s Day. I then had to be induced with the hormone drip. It was intense but she came reasonably quick. We did go bowling on NYE so not sure if this did anything 🙈🤣 but that’s all I can recommend. It is quite nice because it’s chilled. It it’s horrible too because they send you home for 24 hours to try and let nature take its course. We didn’t sleep much that night but I did get a chance to come home and have a nice relaxing bath and carb rich meal. X

From reading all these comments, I feel lucky!
I had the attitude of ‘the baby will come when the baby is ready’
My baby came 37+1

39 weeks induced though

Avatar

39+4 and absolutely no signs of it up until then either. Contractions started just after midnight and had my bloody show at 7am and he arrived at 10:57 that night! X

38+4

41+1. I just waited and didn't want to accept an induction. I was feeling Braxton Hicks for a couple of weeks beforehand though 😭

Avatar

41+ 2 i think

Avatar

I just had him 5 days ago 39+4
Showed no signs before
Contraction started at 6am in that day
Went to triage at 9 and was 6cm
Had him at 6pm
Walk as much as you can it really helps with pregnancy ball exercises
Eat dates and pineapple as well

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

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

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?

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!
