I just was scanned, saw the midwife for the basic bp/urine/etc tests and then the consultant as some of the measurements were high, who booked the next scan

I went yesterday as I had reduced movements Friday and cause I already had one a month earlier they moved it from Tuesday a emergency yesterday , babg girl was fine they just measure headsize leg length belly size etc , they don’t normally mention induction untill around 36 weeks scan unless baby’s is messuring small or too big but then they will just give you extra appointments d

If you don't want to have an induction you don't have to. Don't let anyone tell you you have to do anything. Your body, your choice.

32 weeks scan is just the scan and the midwife appointment is just the usual check up. BP, urine dip, feel bump, maybe listen to heartbeat.

Nothing unusual. Xx

Had mine last Thursday, had a scan all was ok so just got in booked again for 36 weeks. No mention of induction x

Rant incoming

Sorry but I just need to get this off my chest and to see if anyone else feels the same.

I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant and apart from the booking midwife appointment and scan I’ve had no support from the NHS what so ever. I was referred to a service but haven’t heard a thing and now this morning I nearly passed out on the train. Tried to call midwife but I cannot find a number and when I did they said if your under 17 weeks then call your gp. I just feel totally alone in this and have no one to ask any of the important questions like is nearly passing out normal!?

35 weeks no birth plan

I’m 35 weeks high bp and gestational diabetes still with no birth plan is this normal? I feel they are being pretty blasé with me I haven’t got any more midwife appointments face to face only on the phone

Induction

looking for people who have had more positive inductions the second time round 🫣 i go in next week to get induced i was induced with my first but it took 5 days for her to come , i had the pessary then the gel twice , 2 sweeps and then got my waters broke at 1cm and put on the hormone drip which i was on for 13ish hours 😭i went in at 38+2 this time ill be 39 and as much as it wasn’t that bad other than being in for so long my little girl is autistic and im dreading being away from her for too long 🥲so im just looking to hear positive stories from people being induced the second time for some hope 🤣🤞🏻

40 years old. Due 25th September. Still no labour signs

Im 40 years old, pregnant with my first and 39+5 days. Last week I had my last consultant appointment they recommended I be induced via ballon last week. I declined that as I want a natural birth without any intervention. I was then booked To see a doctor yesterday and CTG. I again declined being induced and wanted further monitoring till my due date 25th September. I’ve still got no signs of labour and have another scan and ctg booked tomorrow. They have also offered me a sweep tomorrow to get things moving and I’m still unsure if I want this. The only reason for sweeps and ballon induced method is my age. Doctors say if I want a sweep it has to start tomorrow incase it doesn’t work then they need to do another one or else will go straight for induction on Monday.

C section recovery

I am 10 days post surgery and now starting to consider future recovery, compression leggings and bands etc. Any recommendations from anyone? Not sure really where to start!
