How much longer to go?
On April 10th I had my 36 week appointment where they did the swab and checked my cervix. I was 36 + 1 at that point and they told me I was 1 cm dilated. I googled after the appointment and it said that you could stay at 1cm for hours or even weeks. Rationally I want baby to stay in as long as possible and “cook,” but another part of me wonders how long this is going to go on for.

With my first 2 I was 1 cm dilated at 36 weeks and had them right around their due date but also had my membranes scraped
I was 1cm dilated 90% effaced for 2 weeks still with my first baby😅
You can be dilated for weeks and nothing happen, I was 3cm and 90% effaced at 37 weeks and did every trick in the book to naturally induce labor when I hit 38 and she was not going anywhere lol I was induced at 39 weeks and it took 24 hours before I was ready to push
It’s been a week I’m 1cm dilated and no signs of labour. 38 weeks currently

I do have a scan tomorrow to check everything is okay. last pregnancy i had scans but i’ve only had about 3 in this pregnancy as i went away for 2 week so my next one is tomorrow. just want to be reassured that everything is okay because i stress myself out all the time 😩 xx

Thyroid issues
Just been informed by my GP I have under active thyroid. Could be hereditary, but I’m also wondering could it be due to postpartum (almost 9 months).
Anybody experienced this? Anybody found their levels went back to normal? I really don’t want to be on medication for the rest of my life.
