6days until due date with my 2nd 🥲

Will my boy be a July baby or an August baby???
I really don’t want to be over due 😭

2nd growth scan set for Monday - if I can get there as my partners boss won’t let him have it off to watch my son who’s not allowed in.

and a membrane sweep at midwife apt on Wednesday.

My first was born at 38+5 weighing 7.46 at last growth scan (July 17th) bubs was estimated 6.6pounds, 2weeks on almost and still a no show 🥲🫣 considering my baby is laying sideways im not mentally prepared for him to be big as I’m not wanting an epidural, rather just gas like with my first.

Im voting for team August! ☺️

I'm the same got 5 days to go. Was hoping for July baby 🫠 as my first was born at 38+4 but don't think it's going to happen

I’m going in to be induced on Wednesday but I know from experience it’ll likely be at least Thursday before she born so looks like I’ll be having an august baby

bizarre how close both our babies were in terms of arrival haha.
Hopefully they both will arrive soon, we’re not lost for hope on July babies just yet 🤞🏻

How far along are you? I’ve been told week 41/42 for induction and I’m only getting a sweep because I asked it wasn’t offered

38 weeks but they didn’t want me going past 40 as my last baby was very big and this baby keeps not moving and waters are high x

oh bless you that makes sense, all the best for Wednesday then hun x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
