Pressure

I know lots of people have been asking stuff about signs of labour.
Last night I woke up at 1am with a heavy feeling of pressure quite low down. It hasn't subsided this morning and i just constantly feel like i need a wee. Is this a sign of anything or am i clinging at straws? I'm now 40+5 and desperately don't want to be induced

HELP!

i’m currently 37 weeks pregnant! i was meant to have a scan on Tuesday as i have high blood pressure meaning i have a scheduled c section booked in for 39+3 (27th of April) however i arrived at my appointment 10 mins late as there was really bad traffic (and i live an hour away as it from the hospital) so we had to reschedule. they called me today and said they have rescheduled it for the 20th of April at 8am. only issue is this is only 1 week exactly before my planned c section. and this scan was to see if we needed to move the date forward due to my blood pressure continuing to increase so having a scan at 38+3 just seems a bit pointless. also if my blood pressure is high it means there could be more complications in my C section such as higher chance of bleeding out so i’d need to take blood pressure tablets but im worried a week isn’t enough time to sort my blood pressure out and i don’t know what to do.

Has your baby rolled over yet?

If yes, are they doing it tummy to back or back to tummy? Do you do tummy time with them and for how long?

I know it’s different for each babies but I’m trying to understand if doing more tummy time actually helps or not. Thanks!

Get Ready!!

Ladies! This is your sign to get ready if you haven’t started yet! It’s not too early. I hit 28 weeks today and started bleeding with no apparent cause. I didn’t have sex, I didn’t workout, nothing crazy happened. I went to my OB/GYN to get checked and they told me to go to the OB triage at the hospital because my cervix is thin. I’m at the hospital now and baby and everything is okay, my cervix is not alarmingly thin. I won’t be giving birth today, thank God! But this just goes to show that anything can happen at any moment. Get ready now and relax later!

Increased baby movements

38 weeks and baby was not stop moving for 2 hours from around 8-10pm and then nothing. Anterior placenta so only feel Limited. Rang triage who said they dont do anything regarding excess movements. Just worried as baby has never had a full 2 hours of wriggling like mental. Read online could be a cause of distress. Anyone else had a bout of increased movement at 38 weeks?
