39+3 I’m so exhausted I’m unwell I’m drained I’m tired and I just have no signs of labour really and my bump is still SO HIGH does your bump always drop before labour or it is a myth?

I would consider it a myth cos everyone carries differently. Has your midwife checked how low baby is yet?

No mine never appears to drop before labour. Even though baby is very low now and giving my big time lightning crotch the bump looks the same and this is my 4th I think it depends on body shape or something

I think It depends on your body shape but mine did in my last 3 pregnancies but only very close to labour like days not weeks
So I’ve been told basically my whole 3rd trimester she’s low and engaged I do have a apt tomorrow so I’ll ask then aswell. I can’t beleive I feel this way I’m just stating to feel so exhausted with it all and haven’t even made my due date yet. This time last week I was loving it still and not ready for it to end but now I am full of cold and just so anxious to have healthy baby in my arms

My bump never dropped with my first x

39+2, my bump was still high. Yesterday felt like I was going go over due date. I was feeling exhausted and over pregnancy yesterday but still felt like I was going to go over. Woke up with mild period cramps at 5am this morning. By 11am I was on the phone to the hospital because contractions started 2 minutes apart lasting 30-45 seconds. Welcomed my little boy at 1:59pm this afternoon.

I'm 39+5, my bump is still really high but I had an appt yesterday and baby is well engaged into my pelvis apparently 🤷🏻♀️ I didn't drop with my first either
Contractions have been regular then seemed to taper off a bit. Screenshot from my app. Is this actually labour? Each contraction is very painful and im sort of trying to breathe through them but also sometimes having to moan. I'm shattered as I've not slept a wink so far tonight as its been ongoing on and off all evening/night. Should I call triage and ask to be seen? Don't want a wasted 40min journey 🙈

Waters broke at 36 plus 4, after 36 hours of labour, including the most intense contractions and pushing that I thought was impossible (you’ve got this ladies!) followed being cut open and stitched back up to get her out when she was stuck, my darling daughter Loretta was born at 5 pounds 5 🩷

Hi! I’m approaching 8 weeks with my second! With my first pregnancy I had ZERO morning sickness and honestly the best pregnancy ever- symptom free and thriving! However, this time around the morning sickness is kicking my butt ALL day! Any tips/tricks mamas? 🙏🏽

Had my 12 week scan today. What do you think based on the nub theory - boy or girl?

Hi girls, i need some advice as im at a loss and not sure what to go with when reading online, so when i went for my midwife booking appointment they mentioned tests that they woukd do at 12 weeks for such conditions like down syndrome ect i cant remember them all. They said i woukd speak to someone before hand to go through it all but i have my 12 week scan this Thursday and no ones been in contact and i dont know weather i should have the tests done or not, iv spoke with my partner and you know weve both said whats meant to be will be and if these test bring risks then i would rather avoid them as baby will be perfect however they are but id like opinions/advice and experiences please just so i have the best knowledge going forward, thank you ❤️❤️
