Not long left to go for our May babies ladies!!! I’m 35 weeks now and I’m honestly so over being pregnant at this point everything hurts, I’m restless and always uncomfortable and quite frankly just not enjoying these last few weeks at alllllll! Baby girl has been head down since 32 weeks and always pressing on my bladder so the constant peeing is another added extra and don’t even get me started on the lightning crotch!!!
How is everyone else feeling?
(Cheeky little bump update) people keep saying it looks like my bump has dropped but I really don’t see or feel like it has at all so not sure what others are seeing 🤷🏽♀️

34 weeks here and same. I'm done 🫠 little man has been head down since 28 weeks and at my 32 weeks scan he was literally in contact with my cervix and using my bladder as a pillow and a punch bag 🫠
I think I pee 3-4 times an hour during the day 😂 I'm so done. 3 weeks minimum left. My first came at 39+2 so I'm hoping this one will be a little earlier 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
You look like you're carrying low, not sure if baby had dropped or not. I'm carrying low too this time. Xx

Luckily havent really had lightening crotch 🤞🏼 but I am shattered and I feel stiff and bruised under my belly. Its hard trying to get organised while feeling so tired 😫 I still can't believe I have to push a baby out again 😩 doesn't get any less anxiety inducing with more babies lol

Your bump is beautiful! I'm 35+5 and honestly been absolutely fine up until the last couple of days and now I'm so uncomfortable 😅 had no lightening crutch though! Just the odd cramps here and there. I'm eating like an absolute horse though 😭😂 x

I’m 35+3 weeks and the last few days I’ve felt so uncomfortable and tired. I have a cough as well, which isn’t helping the situation, my tummy muscles are so strained and my poor pelvic floor is feeling the strain too. I’m also feeling quite anxious and overwhelmed, we just moved house a week ago and have boxes everywhere, need to buy furniture, need to fix and paint walls etc. whereas I just want to put my feet up and rest. Don’t even mention washing baby’s clothes etc. Thankfully the hospital bag is mostly packed before we moved, so that’s done at least. Xxx

Congratulations
Hiya!
I am pregnant with my first so these might just be stupid questions but I’d feel better just asking especially when there are women on here more experienced than me so please bare with me 😅
I am 34+1 weeks pregnant. When I went to pee I noticed that my underwear is slightly wet. Can’t tell the colour too well as the underwear is brown but to me it appears that it’s colourless and completely odourless. For a second I thought I might’ve leaked a little by not making it on the toilet on time as it happened before but it doesn’t smell like urine. No pain/contractions either just the wet underwear. Does anyone know what it might be? Should I be freaking out as I am only 34 weeks.
I have uploaded a photo just so it’s clearer and hope that that’s alright too 😅

So what are we doing to keep ourselves busy after the baby goes to sleep I’ve already done all the laundry and picked up the house I’m sick of being on my phone or watching tv but I physically can’t let myself get too far away from my baby while she’s sleeping. Anyone else struggling keeping themselves busy or just me?

Is there any ways that anyone knows that will help start labor? I’m 38 weeks and he’s been trying to come but unsuccessful at breaking my water so is there any ways that anyone knows how I can help him start to come out here at home?

I’m 38+2 had a stretch and sweep last night and was 1-2 cm dilated… had period cramps and back pain ever since but nothing else other than feeling unwell, like cold/flu symptoms and a headache! Being induced tomorrow if labour doesn’t progress, any tips to kickstart🤞🤞

I’m over 37 weeks now and baby girl is still breech so I’m on the waiting list for c-section. My first baby was a completely unmediated spontaneous vaginal birth so I can’t help but feel sad I won’t have that same birthing experience this time round. C-section obviously has the lowest risks for baby that’s why I’ve opted that way but any advise or what to expect would be much appreciated also anything different I may need to pack 🙌🏼🫶🏼 pic of bby girl sucking get toes hehe
