Time has slowed down

38+4 and feel like time has slowed down and having no signs of anything happening any time soon!

Bump still high, no Braxton hicks, no bloody show, no pelvic pressure. Think I need to be prepared to go another 2.5 weeks 😭

Anyone else feeling the same?

I’m 38+3 I feel like I don’t get anything during the day then evening time I get quite painful Brixton’s hocks but it doesn’t turn into anything had it the last 3 nights and each night I think tonight is the night but still wake up pregnant 🤣😩

Same! 38+2 my motivation for the tea/dates/bouncing is dwindling 😂

I went 40 plus 10 with my first, I hope you are generally comfortable and well, if so see it as an oxytocin boosting time, recharge time for you and holiday, baby will come when it's ready n oxytocin is high x

Anyone else having trouble balancing their daily activities while taking care of their baby?

My baby is 2 months old and I feel like I still cannot adjust to being a mom (first time mom)

Bad hospital experience

Has anyone else had a bad hospital experience? I feel like I was not listened to and was rushed out of the hospital. I had very bad cramps in the postpartum room and I was told it was normal and I should just take the Tylenol… We were discharged at 10pm and no one checked the car seat we even asked. My birth plan was not listened to and did not see a lactation consultant. Has anyone else had the same experience?

Epidural and Csections

Hi, I've just found out at 35 weeks that he is breech and I'm looking for people's opinions on C sections and epidurals. These are the only two things I didn't want 😩that I now might have to get.
I genuinely don't think I'm gonna let them come near me with that epidural needle.

29 weeks 6 days

Today my July baby decided to become an April baby!
She’s a good weight and a cutie!
Don’t think her big sister will like her very much as we were meant to be going to Disneyland Paris today!

Cramping 36+5

I’ve been cramping a fair bit the last hour or so, nothing too extreme like I can talk through them. I haven’t tracked anything so honestly I’m unsure if there’s a pattern. My last birth was an induction due to baby passing at 24 weeks so unsure of what a natural labour would feel like.
I don’t want to drag me and my partner to triage unnecessarily especially at this time. Would it be wise to just wait it out and if things get worse or more frequent then go?

C section

I've opted for a c section due to baby measuring on 94th percentile, being breech and having some medical complications. They've said it will be next Friday, I'm totally laid back so not worried. However, I'm just wondering if there's anything I need to consider? Any essentials that people would recommend for hospital bags etc? Any help appreciated!
