Two girls first - both pregnancies I had bad sickness until about 14 weeks, travel sickness throughout pregnancy, cravings for fruit and chocolatey things. Great skin, hair and nails.


I’m now pregnant for the third time but this time with a boy. I only had a few random days of morning sickness and I don’t suffer from travel sickness. I have craved crisps, ice pops and caprese salad. Extremely tired. Skin and nails are bad. Hair is great. I’ve had heartburn for the first time.

Awful back ache with second and third pregnancies.

Pregnancy symptoms don’t determine whether you’re having a boy or a girl — every pregnancy and every body is different. Many women who’ve had girls experienced easy, enjoyable pregnancies, while others expecting boys have had very difficult ones, and vice versa. All those old midwife tales about symptoms predicting the baby’s gender are just myths 😂🩷💙

Thank you everyone! Really interesting to know what symptoms youve all had!xx

I have a 9 month old son & I’m 6 months pregnant having another boy. I had no nausea/vomiting. I knew they were both boys as I was ALWAYS HUNGRY & eating every hour. No cravings, but I just had to eat something 😅

I had a boy and I didn’t have much sickness, I was cold all the time rather than hot, more salty cravings than sweet ones (I’ve always have a sweet tooth). Pointy belly, the best skin and hair I ever had, I was calmer than usual, and a LOT of heartburn 😩.

My first was a girl and I had hg and was in and out of hospital I’m now pregnant with my second and have had practically no symptoms at all and have a gut feeling it’s a boy but I don’t find out the gender for another 2 weeks xx

Scared of long induction process

Mums! I’m 41+3 today according to NHS, but from my extremely type A tracking from December last year know I can only possibly be 40+4. My midwife has supported this throughout my pregnancy and has advocated for me to take it at my body’s pace and take the EDD with a pinch of salt.

I’ve been having signs of early labour - cramps, regular Braxton hicks, even a small show today following my second unsuccessful sweep - but I’m feeling SO pressured into being induced. It’s like the second you turn 40 weeks they jump on you to be induced and I just don’t get it.

More context:

My midwife told me today that there is potential to be on the ward with three other mums who will also be going through the induction process themselves and waiting for labour to start for up to 4 to 5 days (!!!), and that’s not even including the labour/recovery itself. I had hoped for spontaneous labour, water birth and limited time in the hospital, so hearing this, along with the failed sweep has been disheartening to say the least. Since my EDD came and went this week I have been having much stronger signs, and following the first sweep on Thursday when they said I wasn’t dilated but that the cervix was soft, to today being told the same but that it is now open shows me that there are clear signs my body is getting ready to do something.

I’ve been low risk this entire pregnancy, and will continue to have monitoring etc in line with my trust’s guidance, but following a meeting with a consultant at the hospital, the only real reason they could give for wanting to induce me is 1) because it’s protocol, and 2) in case the slots get taken up and I have to wait longer if I do decide to book one… her exact words… neither of which seem like valid reasons to me. The risks to me and baby are minimal at this point, as they have been all along, and I wonder why are we doubting that the body will be able to go into spontaneous labour after it has been trusted to grow an entire human from scratch for the past 40 weeks?

I do have a slot scheduled for 42 weeks, but feel so upset and unsettled at the prospect of forcing my body to go through a potentially lengthy process and wait on a hospital ward with no creature comforts just because it’s their ‘protocol’.

Sorry for the long post, any advice at all? 😓
