Could this be early labour?
Since 10:00am today I’ve been getting period like pains very low down that last about a minute and are around 6-7 mins apart.. my lower back has been really achey for days and I’m pretty sure I lost my mucus plug last week (although there was no blood)
I’m 37+1 today and with my first I was 10 days early and already dilated 2cm. ( ended in a emergency c-section)I’ve never really had braxton hicks but this could be just that? The pain isn’t strong enough to call it a contraction but it’s there if you know what I mean! What do you think? X

I had this the other day 😩 genuinely thought it was my time. It wore off 😭😭 I’m now 38+4 with my 2nd baby and have had little twinges since about 37 weeks 🙄 xx
it’s so confusing isn’t it! Because I’ve definitely never felt this before during pregnancy but also wouldn’t call them contractions. I’ve got a c-section booked on the 22nd but if my body does its thing before had I will 100% give a V-BAC a go again😅 hope the rest of your pregnancy goes quickly for you 🫶🏼xx
sending all the luck your way lovely, toddlers no doubt keep us on our feet so hopefully that will do the trick! Xxx

Potty shot at 11-12 weeks
Hey mamas! I'll be 12 weeks at my ultrasound on Thursday and i'm wondering if it's possible to get a potty shot and see baby's gender at 11-12 weeks? I confirmed my son's gender via potty shot at 13 weeks for my 1st pregnancy but not sure if it's possible at 11-12 weeks? I got my sneak peak results, which say i'm having a girl but i want to confirm on NIPT & ultrasound before i start buying things and getting things ready. (Obviously i know NIPT will be most reliable, but the results take time so i'm just wanting to know if anyone has had baby's gender confirmed at 11-12 weeks via potty shot)

20 week scan
I had my 20 week scan last Friday, everything was fine but she said that little girl had a big stomach and could potentially mean GD, the chart told her she was just under the worrying measurement to like get a early test for it but I’m still pure panicking about it that I’ve done something wrong to cause this. I have another scan on Thursday due to her being cheeky and not allowing them to get spine measurements so thinking I should ask for a second look? Anyone else been told this before and it been okay? Maybe she’s just a chunk lol x

Induced?
I went into triage today after having reduced movements after my sweep yesterday. They have offered for me to be induced tomorrow morning. They said my waters are bulging and that i am already 4cm dilated. But not in active labour.
They said they were gonna break my waters and try the balloon. I had a previous c section before and was really hoping for a VBAC this time: does anyone have any words of wisdom? Am i making the right choice in being induced?

20 Week Scan
Had my 20 week Scan today. They couldn’t get a proper view of baby’s heart so asked us to return next week, everything else looked fine. And I also have a low lying placenta. Anyone else have this?
