Ladies who were 2cm dilated…

How long did it take for you to go into labour, or are you still waiting?
I was 2cm on Thursday and midwife got my hopes up saying it will be soon but I’m still waiting!

How did you find out did she just do a check or did you have a sweep? I have an appointment on Tuesday and would be curious to know how my cervix is looking but I don’t think I want a sweep x

yes sadly I’m feeling the same way, I think I’ll be going to my induction on Tuesday!

2 failed sweeps later ! Induction on Monday ! So excited to meet baby next week x

Due on 16th and 2 sweeps later but nothing yet. I was 1cm on Monday and 2cm on Friday and fully effaced but nothing yet 😂🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I was 2cm at 38weeks with my first and second! I gave birth to my first at 40weeks and my second came at 39+6 xxx

On Thursday 11th I had a sweep and was told baby’s head is 1/5 palpable - the rest deeply engaged and I was 2-3cm dilated. It’s my due date today and I’ve still had nothing🥺

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?

2nd baby

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

Palpitations and out of breath

Anyone else dealing with heart palpitations and running out of breath super quickly?

I already spoke to my midwife, and they put me on magnesium and extra electrolytes and said if it doesn’t help, to tell them again. I have my next OB appointment on Tuesday and I plan on bringing it back up when I see her then, but I feel like my shortness of breath has just gotten increasingly worse and the dizziness is now off and on when I used to not get it before.

Anyone else has that experience?

I am 30 weeks on Wednesday (March 25) with a C-section scheduled for end of May.

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.
