Baby head not engaged

I’m 38w3days and had a midwife appointment this morning where they said her head isn’t fully engaged in the pelvis yet, it’s slightly to the left.. she didn’t seem to think it’s an issue but now I’m panicking a little, is this normal for a FTM at this stage? I’ve been doing so much walking and hip circles/bouncing on ball too!

This is normal ESPECIALLY for FTM. you still have a few weeks left. Try not to worry. Do what you've been doing. Your baby will come whenever they are ready 🙂

Bleeding

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on who I should contact about this.

I had my baby back in October and had the depo injection afterwards. Since giving birth, I’ve had ongoing discharge and I’m currently waiting to see a gynaecologist about it. However, I had sex last Sunday and I’ve been bleeding ever since (over a week now). I haven’t had any pain, but it’s worrying me.

I know you’re usually under the midwife for a year after birth — should I contact them about this, or has anyone else experienced something similar and can suggest who I should speak to?

I’m just not sure what to do next 😭

Shocking pain

So I’m now 9 days postpartum and since maybe day 3 or 4 I’ve been getting with random pulsing pain in my mid to lower back that comes and goes and it’s bad enough that I’ve gotta stop whatever I’m doing. Anyone else? x

Sweeps and inductions

I told myself that I wouldnt bother having a sweep this time round but I really really really want to avoid induction. Im only 38+4 so still have time... I just cant see myself going into spontaneous labour atm 😟 anyone have any thoughts that could help?

I dont want to hear about positive induction stories as this just isnt a route im willing to go down
