Thankful , but anxious!
My baby was diagnosed with IUGR around 28 weeks. Here we are at 35 weeks (tomorrow 🥰) and he’s all caught up, and they’ve removed the diagnosis.
With that being said, my scheduled induction has been cancelled and they informed me that it’s perfectly okay for me to go into labor on my own.
I was induced with my first. And I loved the process, the control of it all.
My contractions and overall pain were so well managed and I was looking forward to the same thing this time around. Now im feeling anxious because I don’t know what to expect when ACTUAL labor starts, or how well I’ll tolerate the process itself. 😅

Congratulations! 🎉👏
Totally understand the anxiety around having to wait for labor to come on its own vs. at least knowing when the timeline will officially start with an induction! I wish going into labor was more predictable. 😆
Labor coming naturally scared me too but my baby girl (August 2025) prepared me for a month with prodromal labor. My induction with my first was same way, controlled and no pain because the epidural. Second baby, I went in naturally, and the epidural got rid of most the contraction feeling. (I am a redhead so meds dont work as well on me)

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.
