Hip pain whilst sleeping

Hi all, I’m having such terrible hip pain whilst side sleeping (I used to sleep on my back). It’s waking me every 2 hours and sometimes need to get up rather than change position’s. I’ve taken midwife advise regarding pillow between my legs etc but wondered if anyone else was experiencing this, and what helped?

Currently going into week 17 🙌

19 weeks had the same problem but since using pillow its better however the pillow sometimes slips or rearrange it self and i end up waking up to put it back between my legs.

If you’ve got a spare duvet, fold it in half and sleep on top of it for extra padding, it’s a game changer! X

Induction?

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

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

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?
