April 2025 Babies 🇬🇧

Bloody show

Had my sweep today at 39+2 and have wiped and seen some blood loss really hoping we progress from here. Had a few hours of false labouring which felt like the real deal last night but since the sweep it’s like a constant dull ache in my pubic area so hoping. Pics of my loss

Also experiencing some tightenings and stabbing shoots in my cervix

Sounds like things are moving in the right direction - from my show to birth was just over 8hrs

contractions have picked up in both intensity and frequency and every time I wipe there is more pink show so I think tonight the night for me

Fingers crossed for you x

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
