Anyone who has gone over 40 weeks

I’m currently 41 weeks today, my last appointment was when I was 40 weeks, I don’t have an appointment until 41+5 but that’s for a scheduled c section if I don’t go into natural labour, but surely I should be seen before that to see if baby is okay or if I’m dilated?

I was 41 weeks when I went into labour. The community midwife may offer a sweep at 41 weeks if you want one. However you don’t have to have any intervention & just try to get your oxytocin flowing yourself. Unless you don’t want a normal labour? What is the reason for the C-section? X

Wishing you all the best and fingers crossed labour starts naturally
Please keep us updated. I'm hoping for a vbac after an emergency c section after induction at 42+3 too

Showing?

I’m 6 weeks +5 and I feel like I have a bump already it’s really hard at work because people are starting to notice, anyone else have this

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 :)

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?! 😂

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

Scan

Early reassurance scan, no fetal pole yet but glad everything’s in the right place ❤️

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!
