Pelvic girdle pain and birth

I have been experiencing awful pain. More so recently. I'm now using crutches to get around but it's more painful at night and when I lay down or sit down. I'm worried about birthing. I've got other issues and baby boy is estimating 8pounds at 36 weeks. I've been booked in for an induction 9 days prior to my due date. Surely he's going to be even bigger and I just don't feel like I've had any birth discussions in detail really. Ive only seen midwife twice and each time I've seen a consultant it's someone different. Has anyone else experienced awful pelvic pain and birthed a big baby?

I had awful pelvic pain and my girl was 8lb 5oz. The pain went straight away and it didn’t really impact my birth I dont think.

In same boat - nerve compression ontop of pelvic & hip pain . On crutches, belts and codiene 😔

Just so you know they don’t know how big baby is it really frustrates me when they even say their estimates. It won’t affect birth but it’s dependent on the severity if it comes back later after pregnancy. I still have my concerns if I’m in this much pain now how will I stand that during labour but my last pregnancy the pain stopped as I went in to labour he was a 8.7 baby.
Best wishes to you! X

C section form

Anyone had to sign a contest form for their c section? And go through loads of risk factors of the surgery? I have mine tomorrow and had to do all that, I’m now terrified lol

11 weeks pp and pregnant?!

Im absolutely shitting myself, me and my partner have been so carefull (we use condoms and he also pulls out) but im late on my period and i cant get to the shop for a few days due to no car and im thinking im possibly pregnant. When i was pregnant before the animals were different the dog became more protective of me and the cat hated me and always tried to bite me. and they have recently been the same. Im trying to think if i have any possible early symptoms so i can convince myself im not 😂 the only thing i have is feeling sick alot and nauseous lol.
what was everyones first symptoms when you’ll were pregnant???

Pregnancy after c section

I need advice I had a c section and my baby now is 7 months. We definitely want a second one, just not sure when it is safe to plan the second one. I would like a natural birth because we want more than two.
And I know for sure if the second one would be a c section then that's it, no more

Is this dress yes or a no?

We are going to Japan for 3 weeks in July and 13 of those days we are on a cruise. There is a bunch of formal nights and formal events and for some of them I’m doing a 80’s glam theme. I already got the dresses for those but I’m looking for some fun and fancy dresses that aren’t vintage also. I’ve been eyeing this particular dress for MONTHS. I kind of love it, but I think it might also be too weird 😆. What do you think?
