Well today is my due date and I think I have accepted the fact that he’s not coming any time soon and I should probably join the April group 🤣 any tips on how to get this baby moving greatly appreciated! 🙏🏻

Same thing I’ve had membrane sweep on Sunday to be sure that baby is coming on time but not(

Join the club, my due date was the 27th of march, my first baby and still waiting for his arrival 🤣.

I was due 22nd March. I had 3 sweeps, ate medjool dates, went for walks, bounced on my birthing ball, had some spicy food, antenatally hand expressed colostrum, and did perineal massage. I still ended up being induced with two pessarys and then having my waters broken for me. Then my body kicked into gear white quickly, I started having much more intense and regular contractions, got to full dilation and felt I needed to push and then ended up with an emergency caesarean as my baby was breach and diagonal so I unfortunately could not continue naturally. Born 29th March. Good luck and I hope some of these methods work more effectively for you than they did for me!

I was due 24th March, still nothing. So so fed up now🙃

I am having my C-section tomorrow! What would you pack that I might have forgotten? TIA

No reassurance from my care team

Hi gals, I’m 34 weeks today and a ftm feeling like I have no reassurance from my care team at all… I went to see my midwife today and mind you the last bit of reassurance I had was at 19 weeks with an anatomy scan, my midwife had informed me more than once I won’t be sent for another scan unless I pay for a private one on my own

At 31 weeks my fundal height was measuring 32cm today I’m measuring 33cm that’s 1 cm difference between 3 weeks this would mean he’s now measuring under… why am I the only one concerned about this? I don’t know if he’s big or small anything haven’t seen him on ultrasound for weeks I’ve had no reassurance that’s he’s growing okay and that my body is doing the right thing for him I was also informed I’m high risk for pre eclampsia I’m on a low dose of aspirin until 36 weeks every appointment they don’t test my urine for protein to check and I go into labour n delivery with concerns and symptoms of pre eclampsia they shut me down tell me it’s acid reflux and send me home every time… has anyone’s antenatal care experience been similar?? I feel so not reassured and under cared for? I’m worried about little man’s growth.

Bleeding After Sex

I’m 12weeks postpartum and i noticed that anytime I have sex I get some bleeding after words, it’s mostly brown in colour and it’s not heavy enough to fill a pad. I mostly use pant liner. After some days it stops, then when I have sex again i start to bleed again. (Same Color, same amount of blood). Should I be worried? Is this normal ?

Tiger Balm?

I mentioned to my OB/GYN that I had been using tiger balm from time to time for lower back pain and she looked at the ingredients and said that she would recommend against it but honestly is anybody truly listening to that advice or are we still using tiger balm?
