39 weeks and still waiting

Just here venting.

I had my first at 38+6, so this is the most pregnant I’ve ever been. First pregnancy was amazing, easy, spontaneous labor, birthed at home.

This time around, the doctors were sooo sure that I’d probably go into labor spontaneously and early again. I thought I would too. But Im still waiting. On top of that, baby is breeched. My hospital is highly trained in vaginal breeches, but not past 40 weeks so I’m feeling down to the wire. Tired of being pregnant while also grieving potentially not having the vaginal birth I had hoped for. Come on babyyyy, let’s get movin!

Risk assessment for pregnancy

I told my manager on Monday that I am pregnant (7+5) as I've been feeling quite tired and sick and thought she should know. I work in a nursery so the job is quite physical and involves lifting, cleaning etc.
She said she won't bother doing a risk assessment until I'm 12 weeks and that the pregnancy shouldn't impact how I work at this stage... not sure i agree with this, but not sure what I can say.
Any advice?

Trying for second baby

How long after your 1st did you try for your 2nd baby?
I have fertility issues, our baby took 2 years to conceive, he has just turned 17 weeks today! I’m certain it will take me a long time to get pregnant again so I’m scared to wait too long before trying again

Announcing before 12 weeks?

Hi guys, just looking for some opinions really. I’m about ten and a half weeks pregnant and dying to announce my pregnancy on my socials. We had a scan this Wednesday and baby looks absolutely perfect, wriggling around and waving at us so after that I’m kinda feeling like what am I waiting for?
Before pregnancy I was always going out so posting on my socials constantly and now I’ve went like radio silent which is so weird for me!!
This is my first baby and I’m just so excited for everyone to know. When did everyone else announce?

Nausea/Sickness 26 weeks

Hiya all.
26 weeks pregnant and the nausea/sickness is still there 😭 some days are good some days are bad, no where near as bad as the first trimester, that wasn’t fun. I am on anti sickness tablets which I feel are starting to loose their effectiveness. I also have a 3 year old aswell. Finding this pregnancy a lot harder than my first. Anyone else experiencing this? X
