Successful sweep?

Has anyone had a successful sweep and if so how did things progress afterwards? I had a stretch and sweep around 2pm this afternoon and been having regular intense period style cramps ever since. Could this be the beginning of Labour or am I wishful thinking🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Growth scan

Just had a growth scan 35 + 2 and they said baby is weighing 3.5lbs, I had a growth scan at 28 weeks and he was 3lbs then. I’m back for a scan in 2 weeks but they said if he drops again they will look to induce me at 37-38 weeks now I’m scared!

Group B Strep positive labor and baby

Hi,
First time mom to be here, currently around 37 weeks.
Can anyone please share their experience of labor and how was the baby health in the first weeks, months when tested positive for GBS and receiving antibiotics during labor?
I was blessed to not have any serious complications during whole pregnancy and was really looking forward to unmedicated easy-ish birth hopefully and healthy baby but now is concerned about me being able to stay mobile during labor and having side effects for antibiotics, and for baby to have microbiome negative affects due to antibiotics taken..
Any insights or experience would be helpful.

Together or Separate 1st birthday

So I recently left my now ex partner and we’ve got a 10 month old… I’m just curious is it better to do one party or two separate ones? 🫠🫠 it’s still fresh but we are obviously having to communicate still- but we are hoping to remain friends in a way lol I’m just not sure which is smarter to do

Would you take your almost 4 yr old to a birthday party at an indoor play place during spring break, with a 10 week old baby?

I know it will be crowded as heck since it’s during spring break. I’ll be holding my 10 week old the whole time but nervous that we might get sick from being inside with all those people for so long
