Just had my membrane sweep at 38+3 days, how long did it take to get into labour/what changed after you did it?

I had 2 sweeps with my son then slow progressing labour for a week 🤣 unfortunately they dont always work a lot of the time x

I had 3 sweeps and then was induced as it did not seem to work for me or progress my labour but I know lots of people on here have previously commented about how successful it was for them with some going into labour hours after their sweep

Unfortunately for me, neither of mine did anything. I had one at 38 weeks and one at 39 weeks. Ended up being induced at 40 weeks.

Gender

Hi , I was wondering at what scan you find out the gender?
And at what point you told people you were pregnant? I’ve told a few close friend and family, but feeling a bit nervous to spread the news a bit further :)

So embarrassed

Phoned the local school nursery to put LO on the waiting list...

Confidently gave pet cat's name when asked for my child's name.

Great start! I guess baby brain never leaves 🫠 sharing for a giggle

C section tummy

Hey ladies. I’m 4 months post partum and I just wondered what was considered normal at this stage? I definitely still have some fat to lose but I wondered if my tummy will just continue to stick out from now on?! 😂

PGP & vaginal birth

I have had really bad pelvic girdle pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction since I've been 4 months pregnant. I am now on constant painkillers and can only walk with crutches. Does anyone have experience with something like this and had a vaginal birth? I did not experience anything like this with my first baby, and now I am so worried about not being able to move as I need to during birth. So I am considering an elective csection, even though the consultant did not recommend it, given I already had a vaginal birth before. Any experience sharing would be v much appreciated 🙏 (and don't hesitate to message me privately). Thanks!

Bruised pain on bump

I have a really weird bruised pain feeling on the left hand side of my bump quite high up, not sure if it’s baby’s position but it’s not a nice feeling, has anyone had this before? I have a growth scan in the morning so will mention it then!
