38 weeks today and no signs

I know I have another 2 weeks till due date but fed up now. No signs at all, bump looks pretty low but no cramping or anything! I was 12 days over after an awful induction with my first and I just don’t want that to happen again but just can’t see anything happening any time soon 😔😩

Have sex the gel they give in induction contains prostaglandin hormone which is inside a man’s semen can’t go wrong
My first I had sex next day waters broke !

2 weeks is still quite a lot of time! Could happen with no signs at any point, try and stay positive! X

I’m 41+2 with my first, had a failed sweep at 40+4 and absolutely no sign of him what so ever - booked in to be induced on Monday 😭

I’m 39+1 and no signs yet 2 weeks is still plenty of time x

I feel you I’m 38 +1 and I’m so ready for him to be here, defintley worse this time around having a toddler to care for the exhaustion is real lol but hopefully won’t be much longer for you I completely get how you feel xx

38 weeks is still quite early, maybe that's why? Especially as your body might naturally have longer pregnancies 😊

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?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

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!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

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?

Groin pain?

So I’m 34 weeks with my second and for a couple days now I’ve had terrible groin pain so bad that sometimes I can’t even walk or shift a certain way or I feel like the baby is just gonna rip out of my groin… I definitely was uncomfortable towards the end with my last pregnancy but this is just absolutely awful. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or anything that helps?? It’s making it so hard to still care for a toddler when I can barely move without pain..
