Feeling overwhelmed

I just feel like I’m going to explode, I feel my baby everywhere in my tummy, I hope she is not so big right now, I’m tired and over but she doesn’t want to come yet 😫😫 I can barely sleep, move around just want my body back and her in my arms , feeling like is gonna last forever this pregnancy but so scared of birth. Currently waiting for them to call me for a c-section if I don’t t give birth soon.. 39+1 but so overwhelmed and worried not to overdue too much, please tell me I’m not the only one in this situation 😩

I know your pain! I’m 40+5 and I’m so over it now I’m so scared off being induced 😢😕

I’m due in 3 days and feel the same way 🥲 not so scared of going into labour naturally but terrified of being induced

Avatar

I told them don’t want to be induced as it takes too long and may end up in c-section anyway.. and I’m high risk, counting the days now 🫣

I think I’m going to end up being c-section myself! I’m high risk too I’ve got low iron and I’m anemic :( with my blood pressure being high :(

scared of being overdue right now as She might gain too Much weight 😢 but they don t seem to bother and I’m on the waiting list for c-section , hopefully soon I will have a date 😣

I’m terrified in case something goes wrong, like having contractions but no water braking and reverse so they need to use medication 🫣 hope everything will be alright in the end

but they don t offer u a date for induction so far?

I’m booked in Tuesday 21st to be induced x

I feel you. I’m 40+3 and refused 2 inductions so far hoping be comes before Thursday as I’m booked in for one then but I’ve been low risk until a recent find on a scan which has scared me but trusted my gut that everything’s ok. They can only find out what’s wrong by breaking my waters. The end is tough ladies.

42 weeks today! We rescheduled our induction as baby's movements are fine.

It's so hard going from just focusing on being pregnant to then having to be some sort of expert in the risks and benefits and knowing what you want for you and baby!

We feel fine, but starting to feel the pressure for induction.
Just not sure I want to force my body to do something it's not ready to do.

But ultimately sooooooooo many women get induced or have C-sections and meet their lovely babies, heal well and everyo is ok 😊🥰. There's a lot of fear on this thread but I have so many friends who have had all sorts of births and they're all great!

Anyone else delaying induction here? Well done for doing what feels best for you . Can't believe you've already had to refuse two!

My midwife wouldn't suggest anything until 40 weeks.
We are 40 weeks today, sweep booked on Wednesday as I don't mind manual muscle manipulation to see.

It's mad how our stories are all so different when it comes to inducing, more so with the low risk pregnancies x

I was induced with my first and I’ll be honest it was a horrible experience I’m super grateful that she got here safe & at the end of it that’s all that really matters. But I’m just over 38 weeks now and really don’t want another induction but if I need to have one then I have too im trying to stay positive and hope for the best and like I said along as he’s here safely that’s all I can ask for x

Avatar

well I’m high risk so don’t want to wait too long max 40+6 but they don’t seem to book me nothing yet 😣

Avatar

I refused induction as I’ve heard so many horrible stories and honestly c-section recovery is not that bad after all xx

Baby movements

So I’m now officially 22 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I’m still yet to feel him move. I had my 20 week scan not last week but the week before and everything seemed fine but have a repeat scan tomorrow due to not getting a proper measurement of his face. I’ve been told I have an anterior placenta too. Should I start getting worried yet ?? With my first baby my placenta was at the back and I felt him move around the 20 week mark. I’m just really paranoid as I have fertility issues as it is and have had miscarriages in the past and I’m classed as a high risk pregnancy with this one as I have strep B and I had gestational hypertension and pre eclampsia with my first baby so I’m on shared care with this pregnancy and I’m also on aspirin too which was prescribed by the hospital to take to prevent with this pregnancy.

Is everyone just done now and ready for baby or not there yet?

If you’ve had enough and ready how far along are you?

I’m 37 weeks and starting to get more uncomfortable but enjoying it generally not at the end of my tether yet but I fear it may be just around the corner according to everyone else? Haha
