Due date today!

I’ve seen so many women saying how glum they’re feeling about going over their due date and now I totally get it. Had a sweep on Thursday, I’m in constant pain and am SO ready to meet baby who isn’t making an appearance anytime soon it seems! The thought or another 12 days until being induced is daunting!!!! Anyone else?!

I’m exactly the same I was due on Thursday had a sweep but nothing yet I’m being induced in a week and agree I feel so deflated that I haven’t gone naturally 😔 x

Due last Wednesday , failed sweep Thursday but am in for induction Monday. Just wish ppl would stop asking if she has arrived. Also, I had a friend comparing to someone else we know who had her baby earlier planned c section so she said to me u will be late. Not what I wanted to hear and specially more, so now I am overdue. Good luck, ladies. we will meet ur babies soon!

My due date is today too! I had a sweep Thursday also! I had false labor most of this morning. I’m so ready to meet her! Good luck momma!

My first came at 41+2, no intervention/sweep/induction etc needed. There’s lots of time ☺️

Same here. Due date today. Doesn’t seem like she’s ready to meet the world yet. And everyone keeps asking when will she be here. Like I have that answer!! I have been quite positive all throughout my pregnancy and just hope I can continue that spirit for a few more days (hopefully) Starting to feel little low now 😕

I was due Monday - had sweep Wednesday and another today. Got another Tuesday if not successful then will be booked for induction :(

I’ve only been offered one sweep at 40 weeks then told it’s straight induction at 41 weeks but they are full so I have to wait till 41+2 really hoping I go before then as I’m scared the baby will be massive to go 9 days over and it will end up in a c section which really scares me

Avatar

that’s very odd for them to say straight induction without any reason. I gave birth at 41w with my first and she was 8lb 2oz. Wearing up to 1mo clothing for a few weeks and then 0-3 which was big for a while xxx

I thought this I assumed I would be offered at least another sweep

Avatar

I would ask for another one xxx

I feel the exact same way! My due date was yesterday and not due to be induce till next Friday for my waters to be broken😩 hopefully our babies may make a spontaneous appearance by themselves 🤞🏻

My due date is today aswell,loosing the plot ,since 37 weeks midwife has said any day now?! I haven't had any hints of impending labour at all, booked for a sweep on Tuesday hoping that gets things going 🙏

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

Anyone who’s had their 2nd baby, when did you go into labour compared to your first?

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭
