August moms at 22 weeks? Do you guys feel the same?

I was pretty chill in the 1st trimester and beginning of 2nd trimester thinking everything will go well. Now while I almost complete 23rd week, my baby started moving and kicking very often which I take as a very good sign. But I’m too anxious of what will happen in the coming weeks. Despite of good signs, I’m still not confident and I live in the fear of “is my baby okay”. I don’t understand why I’m anxious despite of everything being okay, but I just can’t think positively.

Need advice please

Hi ladies, I am a second time mum and my due date is today. They wanted to induce me today which I said no to and also turned down a sweep. I feel like your body and baby will know when it’s ready and I don’t want to force anything.

However they keep saying babies stomach is consistently measuring over 92nd percentile and are worried about shoulder dystocia during a natural delivery which would then likely be a medical emergency. They have ruled out diabetes but want to keep monitoring me for preeclampsia. ( I don’t have it but they are worried I might end up with it soon).

I gave birth naturally with my first although at 3cm dilated they still put me on a hormone drip and was so painful I am reluctant to have any intervention this time.

However of course if my baby and my health is at risk then I will need either a planned cesarean or induction.

Just interested for opinions or if anyone else has been through this? I have a midwife appointment in two days where I feel I might agree to a sweep only at least and see how I go.

Baby low down

Is anyone else feeling totally paranoid about where baby is. This is my 2nd and I can literally feel her head down below and scared because this only happened with my first before she popped out. I feel like I'm going to be sat at home on my own and boom she's arriving and I'm birthing in my living room

Glucose test a second time

Second pregnancy

Hi, this is my second pregnancy and I was just wondering if anyone with older children 1 1/2 years started to regress after mom can't do what they usually do for them. My son has started going back to his binky and carrying his teddy bear around. Some advice would be helpful. Thank you
